Supernote A6X2: supernote.com/products/supern...
A look at the Supernote A6X2 Nomad e-ink tablet, and an updated long-term review of the platform after being a Supernote user for three years. As a(n aspiring) digital minimalist I reach for my Supernote over my iPad when it comes to slow productivity and deep work. I use a Kindle Scribe for reading at night, and a Boox for running Android apps… but in my opinion nothing beats the Supernote platform for my handwritten note taking going into 2024.

📓 SUPERNOTE A6X2 available on their website:

📘 BOOX TABLETS in the video (Note Air 2 and Poke 3) are out of production, but you can check out Boox's current lineup on their Amazon storefront: amzn.to/3S16bVI (Amazon likely has better shipping/return policies for you than the Boox website)
📒 KINDLE SCRIBE variant I use is the 16GB with the premium pen: amzn.to/3txJaAz
🖊️ BLUE PEN I use is the top half of a Lamy EMR pen (POM nib) amzn.to/35Mj4NF + body from ink Lamy pen amzn.to/3rRDBZM (color Pacific)
🔋CHARGER AND CABLES I recommend: I firmly believe my e-ink tablets' batteries have stayed healthy for years in part because I use a good-quality charger with lower wattage. This is the charger I use: amzn.to/3RLIwHr
I find braided cables by Anker to be the best and most durable
USB-A to USB-C: amzn.to/3LMFG10 & USB-C to USB-C: amzn.to/40iDqFO

Wow. Just wow. Between the 2022 video you did and this one, I am absolutely sold on Supernote. You've done such an amazing job capturing the features of the device and alleviated my concerns as well. Thank you so much! I was wondering what i should get between the Remarkable, Boox, or Supernote and this company seems to be the most in-touch with their community and what it is they want. It's fantastic to see. Again, you have my thanks. Now just to decide on the Nomad, or the up and coming A5X(2?) for size options. ;) Also, the fact that I went from not being interested in an e-ink device a few months ago to feeling it was the right next purchase over the last few days, to just tonight jumping online and digging into the details only to find that you posted this video only 5 days ago?! Serendipitous to say the least!

All my notes in one place, no distractions and fun to use - E-Ink has come a long way since the first Kindle ever - which I had and loved, haven't had an eink device since then. can't wait to see the higher DPI and refresh speed.

Just ordered my Nomad today; can't wait for it ship on the 10th! I'd always used an iPad for my notes & poems, but with my ADHD, the iPad was a recipe for disaster getting notifications that always were pulling me away from my notes 😅. I've been interested in e-ink tablets for awhile and initially thought about getting the A6X back in October, then starting hearing about the Nomad, and can't wait for it to get here. I love using fountain pens, moreso the heavier-set ones. There was a mention of fountain pen use and comparing that to the Nomad feel of writing in a previous video, which sold me on getting it. Ordered myself a HOM2 pen to go along with it. Can't wait to get immersed in my writing again! LOVE the videos! Can't wait for what else you put out down the road! 😁

Cool. That’s what I was thinking. Thank you! My one hesitation is that it seems louder (there’s a clicking when writing, I think?) than the heart of metal 2 but I love the idea of a push pen! So I think I’m gonna go for it. It helps to hear what you think.

Love the video by the way!

Supernote has now finished supporting the A5X with certain accessories, so now I can't get a portfolio for it with the larger Lamy pen holder. So factor that in as they clearly don't support for half as long as you are going to have the item.

Is it possible to get a list of compatible pens for the supernote? I love the idea of using one of the Wacom pens that has buttons on it that allows you to swap to erase or another function.

@pixelleaves 5 ай бұрын

The push up pen is like a regular plastic clicky pen in that I wouldn't describe it as more robust, it's lighter than the old standard pen. I really like it but I know it's pretty polarizing! You could try the Lamy twin (twist) pen if you want something capless but still with the ceramic nib

Thanks for the review. I wonder about long-term use. Like if the company was down, the SN device was down, how could we keep the notes? For example, if I use Obsidian and markdown, even when the software and the company went out of business, I would still have access to my notes.

@pixelleaves 5 ай бұрын

The notes are stored on the device (cloud is just for backup) and conversion etc. can be used fully offline after initial activation-notes are in a proprietary format though so you would need to export them to read off-device.

For everything else, meeting and other notes, language learning, planning, I love the smaller size since the size of the whole device is very similar to the paper notebooks I was using for those things before.

Yes, I have (and have other 10.3” tablets too)! I think it’s definitely worth getting a bigger size for heavy viewing/annotating of PDFs with small text and if you are used to larger (e.g. composition size) notebooks.

(getting stuck on the same page for days, had to wait for it to die. or not turning on randomly for a few days, and this causes so much commossion as all my daily schedules are on it etc) and I emailed supernote, they replaced the old one.. and noe my new one that I have been using for 3 months does the same thing... Now I will have to change to another brand but I am confused why no one talks about this. I feel like the technology on it is from 10 years ago.

Glib answer: Where? On the Goodereader KZfaq. Real answer: I actually think there a fair amount of gripes expressed on the subreddit, to the point where some new users go on it and point it out. It unfortunately also might just be luck of the draw (as my original A6X from 2021 still works just fine). Add to that, this is still pretty niche technology and I have different expectations from, say, an iPhone. Imo e-ink as a technology suffers greatly from one company holding basically all the patents, and I'm hopeful we'll see more advancement in the coming years as those expire.

Another example of how I split it is I’m working on learning another language this year and am slowly building out an MOC on Obsidian with resources, links to media, grammar concepts etc-but plan to use the A6X2 for ebooks and annotations, processing ideas, writing practice and the Goldlist method. Hope that helps! It really depends on what work/study you’re engaging in, I’m more output focused.

Some time ago I used Supernote and Obsidian together through an export library I found in Github. My workflow was like this: - Sync the Supernote notes to the cloud - Download them to my computer - Use the program to export all notes not to PDF, but to several single images (svg) in a directory in Obsidian. Then I can reference the images in the Obsidian notes. I experimented with it for a while, but I couln't get used to it. Today I do something simpler, I use both, Obsidian and Supernote on my desk. Supernote to do the free-form thinking. At some point, I want to add digested thoughts to Obsidian, so I: - Use supernote screen sharing - Open my browser and screenshot the image, to copy paste in the Obsidian note.

You mention wishing that you could have a note as a screensaver. Have you tried setting auto sleep and auto power off to never. This will keep your last note you are working on visible and if you have wifi turned off doesn't affect battery life too much.

My auto sleep setting is in hours and my auto power off is set to never, I am offline unless I’m syncing and the A5X and A6X2 have a power-saving feature called no-load shutdown which reduces battery consumption if you’re not writing on the screen. However battery consumption is still not as good as fully asleep. Some users might also not like that your device is by necessity fully unlocked (whereas if someone tried to wake from sleep they would have to enter a PIN if you had one set for security). I’m convinced it’s a missed opportunity especially given the focus on productivity and the aims to essentially replace paper, having your agenda or other notes on your desk for reference throughout the day is a fairly common use case.

@@pixelleaves I agree with everything you said. Was just offering this as a workaround as it isn't available at the moment.

A6X2 writing feel is significantly worse than A5X. The new screen loses feel of pen on paper of A5X and does not feel like pencil on paper. It is much more resistant to pen strokes.
