Great review! I did a TON of research on e-paper tablets before buying this one, and I've loved it!!! This checked all my boxes! Color display ✅, backlight ✅, Direct access to the apps I use for writing (google docs, and similar apps) ✅, direct integration with most online drives ✅, no monthly subscription ✅, and access to any reading app I want to read books on! I am a pastor, public speaker, photographer, and reader, and I wanted a device that felt great to write on, something I could preach from (needed a backlight) that had color display for highlights (I use different color highlights in my sermons for different things), something I could read easily on (love that I can do kindle, google books, shonen jump and more), and I love that this device while it can be used for anything definitely limits what you want to use it for, and most of the distracting apps are just not great to use helping this to be the perfect device for me. Thanks so much for your review and have a great day!

Hahaha, it took me until 20 mins before I realised the thumbnail could be this rocks rather than this sucks. I was waiting for you to explain why you didn't like this. Cool video bud!

I can't wait, I'm getting mine tomorrow! I do have the Go 10.3, it's a nice device, with no backlight, expandable storage and color. Other than that, the rest is the same. The reason I got this one is because of the added capabilities. Great Video! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Great review. I like the first impression followed by few weeks later. Such a better way to review. Thank you

[bellissimo]

I think the best note taking device from Boox right now is probably the Go 10.3. Unless you really, really need a frontlight. But if you use it in well-lit environments, it's the one device that apparently provides a writing experience basically on par with the reMarkable... so I'd really be curious about your opinion on it.

It's awesome to see reviews on the boox devices.

[romanborysov]

good review, thanks! It'd be great to hear also about experience with the following1) reading in color vs b/w mode, they have different DPI settings, so does it make sense to pay for color edition? 2) making notes while reading - handwriting/highlighting, quality/comfy, possibility to OCR and export notes 3) making notes by dictating 4) how good is recognizing of meeting notes assuming handwriting isn't ideal 5) using dictionaries while reading books, how convenient is it? thanks :)

It would be great to do a follow up of how you use the Bible app and take sermon notes, etc on it and how well it works for that

Can you read the ebook and listen to the audiobook at the same time? I was so disappointed when I realized the Kindle couldn’t do both at the same time.

Great review. The thing I would have liked to see more is the color. I'm an architect and that is important for marking up drawings, sketching, etc.

[SDSakuragi]

In terms of "specifically for taking notes" the BOOX Go 10.3 is definitely more suited for the task. That one eschews the color and glowlight layers for placing the display layer closer to the surface which improves the writing experience by reducing parallax.

Just bought mine (waiting for delivery) and decided to watch a (full) review. Great job in doing a thorough one! Interesting I got mine so I can read my books in Logos Bible software before sleep/in bed alongside my wife (as well), and taking notes during meetings at work. Glad your usage cases in this review aligned well with what I was looking for. The review (itself) was brilliant - thanks!

[fifarahman]

I still don’t know whether to get the Remarkable Paper Pro or Boox Air Note C.
I want a relatively distraction-free device with notes and annotation of PDFs and books.

I’m leaning Boox but the RMPP folks keep saying you can do all that with RMPP? *confused*

[catherinetravella]

Definitely would like to hear your thoughts on the Palma! Like the idea of e-ink minimalist ideas but it does a little too much where I’m not sure it’s too much or any different than an iPad with the pencil and a paper like screen cover with book and note taking apps downloaded?

[mikepapahotel]

Good review - thank you! 😊👍🏻
BTW - don't worry about the "itself" thing - at least you're not hammering us with the "go ahead and..." filler like so many YouTubers do! 😂

Mine developed a yellow tint on the screen after sun exposure. I guess they used cheap adhesive when manufacturing. It doesn't affect performance so I'm fine with it.

[FooziJr.]

We need more monitors with good E-ink displays !!

[reagantrose]

Great review! Been eyeing one of these for a while. Was nice to see such an in-depth review.

[jorgeshss]

How long is boox supporting software wise this device?

[santidiaz]

I have been using the Air Note 3 during almost six months. It is good for taking notes, drawing and reading (although darker than a black and white e- reader).You can also watch videos like this one. The problem is that browsing works badly in many pages, like e. g. do not expect to be able to book a flight (RyanAir) or use learning platforms like Teachable. Moreover there is a lot of ghosting in videos and movies, so it is not suitable for multimedia.
