@lac29 11 ай бұрын

I bought and used the Mini C for about two weeks before returning it. It's good, but I've come to the conclusion that 150ppi color is still not good enough. It's just "passable". I think I'd be fine if the color layer did not affect the black and white display experience at all ... BUT you can still see a degradation/graininess because of the extra color layer above the black and white eink layer. I'm willing to give up color for a VERY crisp black and white display of the Leaf 2 or Page. I also think it's actually somewhat difficult to use the Mini C as a one-handed ereader. It really does toe that line at what is a passable weight for one-handed reading. And honestly for ALL eink devices ... I think the reading activity is the #1 priority, even above notetaking. If you want smooth notetaking you'd get a ipad or android full tablet/smartphone device.

@ChalidRaqami 11 ай бұрын

I agree on almost all points you mentioned, but got to another conclusion because I don't classify the Tab Mini C as an ereader. For mainly reading, there are definitely better devices out there, like the Leaf 2 or generally any non-Android E-Ink Carta device basically. But I think for an Android tablet with E-Ink, Kaleido 3 is a great step forward and does enhance the user experience in almost all aspects. Just sucks, that Boox can't seem to figure out how to properly weigh their devices, because I too would have liked a more lightweight device even more.

@buttsbrown2442 10 ай бұрын

@@ChalidRaqami I have to wonder how much of a hit to quality K3 would take without the GPU, and the accompanying massive battery, being included. Inknote Color+ has more ghosting, sure, but is it really that much worse? Onyx always seems more refined with their software than Bigme when it comes down to it. So, I wonder, would something like a Nova Air C+, with a K3 screen but without the GPU and super battery, would that really be that bad in exchange for a lighter weight in the hand?

@ChalidRaqami 10 ай бұрын

@@buttsbrown2442 For still-images and "regular" usage I doubt it'll make any difference in terms of display quality, color rendition etc. The only real difference I can see is the ultra-fast mode being faster than the fast-modes on other devices (so more fps) and having less artifacts. I wouldn't even say that ghosting is much better, it's just less pixelated - if that makes sense. I also would welcome a lighter device with a smaller battery, because even though it's a nice gimmick, I definitely can do without the ultra-fast refresh mode. I think the fast mode on the other Boox models is good enough for most things - other than watching videos. I agree about the software. The Boox UI is much more refined than the Bigme software. Boox isn't perfect either, but in day to day use more comfortable overall.

Just for ebooks and comics, I'd recommend the PocketBook InkPad Color 3. It's not as powerful as the Boox Tab Mini C but easier and more comfortable to use in my opinion. And a bit cheaper as well. But honestly, both are pretty good, so neither is a bad choice.

Great review, thanks. Small question. I notice you have both this Boox Tab Mini C and the PocketBook Inkpad Color 2 on your desk. I have read that the PocketBook uses an older version of Kaleido but for someone new to the eReader world (present for my wife) and who would like a good experience and battery life. Is your recommendation to go for the Boox (more expensive) or start with the Inkpad Color 2? The price difference in my case would be around € 170,- which is maybe to steep unless really worth it. Not looking for an iPad kind of experience but purely eReader for books, also to share with our daughter that wants to read color books.

@ChalidRaqami 9 ай бұрын

Thanks! :) The InkPad Color 2 is a fine ereader and I suspect PocketBook went for the older Kaleido Plus screen technology because of the price. The InkPad Color 2 is the cheapest color E-Ink ereader right now if I'm not mistaken. I'm still not a big fan of the lower resolution, but I liked the device much more than I expected. The UI is nice and easy to use and the new CPU makes handling much better than with the older models. I'll release the review video shortly, where I talk about these things a bit more in-depth. Besides the screen technology the biggest difference between the InkPad Color 2 and the Boox Tab Mini C is the market segment. The InkPad is an ereader and the Tab Mini C is a full-fledged Android tablet. You can do much more with the Boox, but it's also more complicated to use as a result. Generally I think PocketBook offers the better and easier entry.

@ChalidRaqami 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! :) I don't know anything about Manhwas, but if you need to scroll continuously, the ultra fast refresh mode of the Boox Tab Mini C is perfect for that. So the Tab Mini C might actually a great fit for that use case. Besides that, there's not much that can compete with it in terms of screen response time and refresh rate on E-Ink. Larger Boox devices have worse color saturation, so I'd stick with the Tab Mini C.

Thank you for your very informative review. I hope you see this question. Could you please tell me why the Mini C colors look so much more saturated compared to the Tab Ultra C? At the 4 minute mark in the video, they are side by side and you can see a big difference -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e6epgdJ9vtjccp8.html If the actual screens from eInk are exactly the same, is the difference due to a change in the Boox software? Or did you just have something different in the device settings? I have been considering buying either the Tab Ultra C or the Mini C. I almost bought the Mini C a while back, but I hate that the pen doesn't have an eraser. More recently I started wondering if the larger screen of the Tab Ultra C would be a better choice for me... but I really want the more saturated colors shown of the Mini C. (My one other major concern is the phoning-home to Chinese servers for no good reason. I'm not sure I trust Boox enough to overlook that.)

@DanielKravetz 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for the detailed video! I'm torn between this one and the nova air 2. The way I see it, I'd be swapping color in exchange for less weight and better battery life.

Would you feel confident recommending one over the other?

Yeah, you're right with the trade-offs you'd make. It really depends on what you think is more important for you personally. Both are fine and you can't really go wrong with either one, but tbh I think the Boox Tab Mini C is the better value for money, even at that higher price point. Having colors, even if you don't need them all the time, are pretty sweet. And in my experience its also an incentive to actually view more colored content, because it simply looks better now. Just don't get the Boox Tab Ultra C if you like to read without the front light, because without it, it's pretty dark.

Hello, Chalid! I love how thorough your review is, and I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I'm looking for a good ereader & note taking device, as an art history student and someone who likes reading comics, a device that supports color is a big preference. I'd also like to take notes or even do some sketching on the device (nothing super heavy like or clip studio paint, maybe just the playstore version of Sketchbook/Sketchbook pro). Boox tab mini C and the nova air c are some of the tablets I've been looking at as options. As a student I would prefer not to go over $450, but I'm willing to give out a little more for a solid device. Do you have any recommendations that could fit these parameters? :) It doesn't have to be just between those 2 devices.

@ChalidRaqami 9 ай бұрын

For color E-Ink, I'd recommend getting the Boox Tab Mini C at the moment. The price difference to others is well worth it in my opinion, simply because the higher resolution (compared to Kaleido Plus) looks more paperlike. The Nova Air C (Kaleido Plus) has basically the same functions, but you can see that the resolution isn't as good. So especially for sketching, but also for reading I don't like it very much. Another option would be Bigme devices, which I find better in terms of color reproduction, but (much) worse in terms of software. So I would only recommend the Bigme Color Ink S6 Color+ if you're willing to compromise and tinker around a bit more.

How would you say reading a normal B/W book on kaleido 3 compares to carta 1200 when using lighting to comensate the darkness? How much do you notice the grain from a normal reading position? Your video had a great close up comparison between kaleido 2 and 3 so see the grain from the color layer, but I'm interested to see/know how it compares to carta 1200. I dont care about the color per se, but the e-reader I'm looking at does have kaleido 3.

@ChalidRaqami 5 ай бұрын

I'm planning a detailed video on this topic soon. But for a quick answer: when you're reading from about 30-40 centimeters away, like when you're lying in bed, you can still see the grain with Kaleido 3. E-Ink Carta 1200 definitely looks cleaner. BUT: I couldn't bring myself to reading on the previous Kaleido generations (Kaleido Plus and older), because I found that shimmering grain too distracting. With Kaleido 3 I have no issues with it. It's not 100% ideal to be honest, which you mainly notice when putting it side by side with a Carta 1200 device. So it's still a bit of a compromise. But on it's own (without directly comparing it) I'm very happy with using it for reading B/W content as well (with the built-in frontlight).

@ChalidRaqami 6 ай бұрын

Yes and no ... You can directly annotate regular epub ebooks, but when changing the text styling many of the annotations will move to wrong positions. It's fine as long as you don't change any styling, but that can severely limit your options depending on what you're reading. Kobo is doing it much better with the screenshot-highlight after a text styling change and the Kindle Scribe is only allowing for sticky notes for that same reason.

Hello Chalid, on my tab mini c. I noticed when I turned the screen brightness to high. At the top of the screen, there are black smudges. And seems like it was caused by a bad quality because of the light + screen panel. I wonder if it is normal with those kaleido 3 screen, or if my unit is defective? Ty!

@ChalidRaqami 6 ай бұрын

I'd say it depends on how pronounced it is. The LEDs on the Boox Tab Mini C are located at the top of the screen. That can create some subtle halos. But having said that, my Tab Mini C has an exceptionally good frontlight. Even when looking for irregularities, it's hard to spot any. So I'd say it's not normal for Kaleido 3 nor the Tab Mini C. But there's always some production variance, meaning some devices are better, some are worse. But nevertheless, it shouldn't be so bad, that it hurts the user experience.

7" is slightly smaller than A6. 7.8" is just shy of C6. Most books are published on B6 which would require at lest an 8.4" inch screen. If this isn't compact enough it's because the bezels are still way too thick on e-ink devices. But there's a reason for that: namely not having your fingers on the screen.

What would you recommend for this scenario is there anything light enough and thin enough to hold without straining my hand?

@ChalidRaqami 10 ай бұрын

Not too easy to answer unfortunately. The Boox Nova Air 2 is probably the lightest note taking E-Ink device with a frontlight and decent UI. It only got a 7.8 inch screen, which is great for portability, but can be a bit limiting for the content itself. The Supernote A6X is also a 7.8 inch device, that focuses even more on note taking, is also very lightweight, but doesn't have a frontlight. It seems to be out of stock right now though. In the 10 inch segment the Supernote A5X is the next best thing in terms of portability, with a weight of 375g without the pen and without the cover. Everything above that can become too heavy fairly quickly in my experience. The Pocketbook InkPad X Pro will be released in a couple of weeks and only has 350 grams, but it's unclear at this point how good it is. The Remarkable 2 or Onyx Boox Note Air 2 can be good choices if you're willing to compromise on the weight.

OK, so... I'm struggling with why I would want an e-ink eReader if the battery life is no better than an iPad Mini. What are the advantages? Easier to read in direct sunlight? And that's it? Perhaps a little lighter than an iPad Mini? But it also costs more than a 5th Gen iPad Mini. Way more than a 4rth Gen. I think it's easy to forget what one is trying to accomplish here. (speaking for myself only, perhaps) What I want is a pocketable eReader that is easy to read in any light and has fantastic battery life. And color. And page turning buttons. Basically, I want a color (and much faster) Kindle Oasis with no ghosting and an easy to read with at least 2 weeks of battery life. I'm not into reading comics, but I do want to see color book covers and have color options for highlighting text. I also want to be able to use the Kindle app and be able to buy books from Amazon on the tablet, whether it be through the app - much preferably - or through a browser on the app.

Sorry to hear that ... :( Doesn't help your case, but I haven't had any issues so far with any of the Boox devices I've tested on the channel (bought all of them myself). Not legal advice, but if you're in the EU and got it through Amazon or a local reseller, you should be able to make a claim through the mandatory legal warranty obligation that sellers must adhere to when selling goods. So not the manufacturer (Boox) is your contact, but the seller (e.g. Amazon).

Is this too small for note taking?

@ChalidRaqami 6 ай бұрын

Personally, I don't think so. But it depends on the setting. It's lighter than the 10 inch tablets, so it's easier to hold and therefore notetaking is also a bit easier imho. If you're using it at school or at work sitting on a desk, a 10 inch tablet might be the better choice though. The larger screen is definitely noticeable in terms of comfort when writing lots of text.

@@ChalidRaqami thank you sir. I want a 3c, but knowing only some of what it can do..I need to know more to justify paying for it (it’s more expensive here in my country, it’s about 600).. Maybe I should check if Amazon can ship

DON'T BUY FROM BOOX After 2 months of having my Mini Tab C the screen breaks. After talking to customer service they claimed there was some external force that caused it and it wouldn't be covered under warranty. This was in their case in a bookbag with other sensitive electronic none of which had an issue like this. They said I can pay another $270 to fix it. I think I'll just take the loss of $400 before it ends up being a loss of $670.

Please don’t buy it . I bought it and it’s very slow and ghosting issues and the screen kept flashing. When I emailed customer service for return they tell you it’s normal. But n their website this tab mini c is advertising as super smooth experience. They tried everything but refused to gave me their return addresses. Until the 4 th time I ask to return and quoted the law in the uk for returning online purchases. Told them their refusal is breaking the law. I finally got it returned.

I think it is stupid to do a color e-reader without sd slot. I would imagine that people want to read mostly comics, manga or pdf on it which are very large. Who is the target audience for this device? Grüße nach Österreich.

USB OTG works excellently - tested with 1TB SD card (NTFS) in a USB C reader

@ChalidRaqami 10 ай бұрын

The main reason manufacturers ditched the card slot was because they could charge extra for more integrated storage. No idea why the ereading marketing followed suit with the smartphone market, because there's usually only one storage option for E-Ink tablets and ereaders. It's a shame really, because the slot itself probably only costs a few cents.

I will never understand why some people always want SD cards? They drain the battery, they are slower than the internal memory and we all have access to cloud and have several devices to transfer data. USB OTG is also a solution. Do you read 1000 comics on one vacation? Would be nice if you explain your usecase to offer you a solution.

@@anduelanduel1425 It is just stupid not to include one if not for purpose like achieving IP68 certification Lots of people store their local epub / comic collection locally and it's just a pain in the ass to always have to connect online or to have to delete your files once you've read them. It's just much more handy to have all your books on one device, always available with or without internet connection

I brought one of the nova air 1s and it is a lovely and simple product for it;s intended use. Though I think i would love it to have a daily planner built into the homescreen. I think it has a possibility to appeal to more people who want it as a planner 1st and a reader 2nd. *very rough e.g of how i see it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d6hzi7V-28rcc58.html I don't use it enough form a strong opinion, but i ask myself if most users would like the buttons built into the device and not the case.

@ChalidRaqami 10 ай бұрын

I suspect most users would want to see the buttons integrated directly into the device (myself included). Maybe Boox got that feedback a couple of times, because they did just that with the Leaf 2 and Page.
