I'd love to see more side by side with the C. I'm considering this for the brighter screen without the color layer.

[aluminumtape]

Can you make a video comparing Note air 3C and Note air 3? I'm really curious about the presence or absence of BSR GPU BTW. Thank you for the nice review

[dcpowered]

This device is currently the best value ereader! It is really sad that they downgraded the quality of the screen from 300 PPI. Otherwise, they would have sold a lot more. Thanks for your review!

[lucianojoublanc]

I think the difference PPI is secondary to contrast, which the carta 1300 screen touts as being 20% better than their other B&W displays.

[Alexchii]

Why not compare side by side with 300 ppi screen? I bought a kindle to test and even on the sharper screen seeing the pixels bothers me a little bit when drawing with a thinner pen.

I can't imagine 227p not having noticeable pixels.

I expected something else of this video, maybe it is my false expectations, but I wanted to know how the screen is opposed to the 3C. I already know the features of Boox from other video's, it went too much on and on at the 227ppi. I just need to know: why buy this instead of the 3C. Is the screen better with no lights on?
Currently I'm using a Nova 3 Color and want a bigger device, if the B/W version has a better screen with the lights off, I'd maybe go for that instead of color

[JeanLucConnery]

Without the BSR it probably has better battery life. I would have bought a 300 ppi version.

[markyoung]

The one thing I wanted from this video is a battery life comparison against the note air 3 C.

[HebrewLiteracy]

Great review thanks. I think if this hit $300 it'd be a buy for our family. It's hard for me to justify not spending 25% more for color and better ppi.

[whileriding]

What about the battery? I've seen complaints of the 3c regarding battery life

[elotrekker]

It seems to me we are entering a "golden age" of ereading/note-taking devices. Onyx seems to be leading the way in terms of technology. I don't think it will be long before we have a Palma-sized device that maybe has two screens... one e-ink and the other oled... that also acts as a phone and allows note taking and note to text conversion. That, to me, would be an almost perfect personal device.

[MiPePy]

I suspect that they keep the screen to make the price in China low. There, this tablet is called NoteX3, and cost around 250 pounds, whereas the colour version still cost more than 400.

[rupenjshah]

No mention of lack of BSR and if that has an affect on either ghosting or battery life?

[scaletipping]

Issue is kindle now is unavailable on any device besides amazon devices

[Ultrajamz]

How well does this handle pdf reading / editing?

[theamazingfuzzy]

what app are you using for viewing manga that lets you magnify the text bubbles?

[redos]

The only downfall is BSR technology - Already bought NA2+ because B/W without BSR was not announced. I really wanted sth with color but short battery life is a real no-go for me.

[gonzalotoscano]

This looks really good, I got the remarkable 2 and looking for the same quality but more specs.

Also reading The Fable, that manga is great.

[gytisbl]

I love the video comparisons at the end. But I came here to see a side - by - side comparison of the screen between 3 and 3C. I am hesitant on 3C because of the bad contrast. But You didn't compare the screens. I think You still have a small window of opportunity to do a comparison video until someone else does it. Also hand gesturing without a purpose on camera is just unnecessary distracting. But the camera angles for shooting the buttons are top notch

[bkwx]

In your experience, what's the best pen to use for these e-ink readers?
