This 10.3 inch unlit screen is the best device for taking notes, reading PDFs, and.taking notes. However, if you like Moleskine notebooks and have filled many a year and your shelves are filled with many years' worth, then take a good look. This device is NOT an iPad and if your first thought is, "but I have an iPad" then this isn't for you. It has no browser, no apps to speak of, but an enthusiastic community of hackers and 3rd party projects. It's a dedicated and distraction-free note taker. The reMarkable 2 - This is the second-gen reMarkable. These displays are as close to paper as you can get, today, digitally. It's kind of like an Etch a Sketch, except with electricity rather than a surface covered in aluminum powder. We can apply negative or positive charge and the black or the white pigments will jump to the top. How does it work? The simple explanation is that there's tiny capsules of negatively charged black pigment and positively charged white pigment. These one page digital devices promise to act as Infinite Paper.Į Ink is easier on the eyes than OLED and iPads and the like. First the look, and most recently the feel of writing on paper. We seem to be putting a huge amount of technology and work into creating displays to replace paper. The starter Kindle is about $90 and you'll often find sales.įor mostly static content like books or magazines, E Ink is an amazing paper-like technology. They are bright in direct sunlight, and the newer ones have color temperature settings.

I'd say 90% of my reading in the last 5 years has been on a Kindle with E Ink. I love my Amazon Kindle and I love its E Ink display. It's going to be interesting to see if it's a fad or if E Ink tablets are here to stay.
#BOOX NOTE VERSION 2.0 SOFTWARE#
The flashing at opening in both Libby and Kindle is enough to make me have to look away from the device for a minute or so while the software loads.There's something happening in the E Ink space, somewhat quietly, but consistently. If there's no solution without extra transfers involved, has anyone had any luck optimizing Libby? I tried a few variations of animation timeouts, regal refresh, A2 (which doesn't work well when graphics are involved), contrast, etc. If I wanted to run everything I read through Calibre and sideload I would have just stuck to my kindle and not spent the money on this.
#BOOX NOTE VERSION 2.0 ANDROID#
Doing that defeats the purpose of buying an android ereader though. I went to storage and tried to find where the books are kept for both programs but it looks like maybe they have DRM or are encrypted somehow? Maybe this won't be possible without running them through calibre and transferring them back as regular books. I tried configuring library settings to scan all storage and then refreshed the library. It was nearly unusable before optimizing. Libby is even worse with flashing and slow, sometimes unresponsive page turns even after optimizing.

The Kindle app is fine once you're in to a book but a flashing mess getting there because of the graphics even after optimizing.
#BOOX NOTE VERSION 2.0 PRO#
How do I get books downloaded in Kindle, Libby, or other storefront/library apps to show up in the main library screen that my Nova Pro defaults to on boot? I'd love to be able to read these books in the default reading app.

(In order: Protonmail, Kindle, Outlook, Word, PowerDMS, Autosync for OneDrive, Gospel Library, Firefox Notes) "com_amazon_kindle"), drop them into the "/Downloads/Onyx/Icons" folder (where you'll find a number of other icons ready to go, but the only one that was there of the apps I use was Firefox, so YMMV), and then restart your device, and the icon will be the lovely, high-contrast logo.Īfter I made them, I figured someone else might be looking for the same kind of thing, so I'll post them here for anyone to use. It's fairly simple to create them, and all you have to do is make sure they're named the same as the app package (eg. I looked around a little bit and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I ended up making some of my own.

I'm a little OCD (figuratively), and couldn't stand that the icons downloaded via the Google Play Store didn't have nice, high-contrast icons like the apps that come pre-loaded on the device. I've owned several e-readers over the past 10 years or so, but just got my hands on a Boox Note Pro, and I'm pretty happy with it so far.
