What’s the point of creating a huge device like that if we can’t access Google drive, Pocket, dropbox among other apps through it? There are so many articles I have saved on pocket, for example, that I have to read them all on my iPad. It makes no sense based on the amount of money I have to pay just to have a “bigger display”.

I got this and I liked it, but it’s super fragile. I apparently pressed with a little too much pressure on the screen, a little more than a light touch (really not bad though, my kindle/ipad/meebook/older kindles all handle it fine) and the screen shattered. Idk if I got a dud, I’m trying to decide if it’s worth trying another.

@TheeBookReader2 күн бұрын
Frontlights vary from one to the next, but generally speaking Kobos do have more issues with unevenness. Same with the entry-level Kindle, but the frontlight on the Paperwhite is really good. I've had two of the current version and both were very even.

The glow front light has ruined e-readers. The beauty and practicality of having a paper like screen has been killed in favor of battery eating, gimmicky features. Thank you Box.
@KeithJCarberry14 күн бұрын
you can turn a frontlight off you cant turn no frontlight on. ereaders have terrible contrast vs real printed paper. in equal lighting eink performs much worse, and adding supplementary lighting adds glare (again unlike real paper) a simple light in the bezel turned down low can help compensate for those shortcomings without looking unrealistic. ereaders are about practicality, their convinience over books is their only advantage. being able to light up is part of that

@TheeBookReader8 күн бұрын
That's just how E Ink screens work. The full screen refresh causes a black flash as the ink articles rearrange. It happens much less frequently than it used to. With Kobos you can set it to full refresh every 1-10 pages, or once per chapter. Kindles usually do it once every chapter as well, or whenever there are images.

The very idea that all Boox devices can "phone home" to Beijing and deliver anything and everything you've put on your tablet into the hands of the CCP's great firewall is NOT comforting. I personally would NEVER buy or use a Boox device because of that alone. No amount of whitewashing can rid us of these negative suspicions of unwanted surveillance.

@@meeka59 Libra Colour as the colours from my comparisons look more natural on the Kobo. Some colors were very exaggerated on Boox. Another factor was that I like the sunken screen much more on the Kobo and repairability + kobo store. The device seems more robust overall. The flush screen on the Boox is still amazing, though. And having the versatility of Android and sd card expansion is a big plus. What I can add to the Boox though, is that the rainbow effect was much less visible when reading manga. Maybe due to the flush screen? That being said, I am going back to Libra 2. I think colour e-ink needs more time.

User chooses e ink device over iPad for focus task, my view is boox go 10.3 wanting to achieve so many things but not excelling in anything. is not the best for reading, it's too heavy/big as a notepad (I can't write on it while holding it) So tell me what is the value proposition of this tablet/notebook/ereader ?
