How can it be in the top 10 – if it’s only available in China for limited quantities? Lousy video
My man’s thinks everyone knows Chinese
The Boox Note 3 looks to be the best to me. I have one on order. Boox Note Air is awesome but it is basically a lower powered Boox Note 3 with a better case. The Note 3 has more Ram, double the storage, and a better battery. If you want only form over function than the note air wins but if you read the fine print the Note 3 wins….granted the Note 3 also costs $70 more.
Why did you put chinese e-readers -___-
Are you paid to advertise chinese only products?
I have done thoses 3 thinge.
sony is great
what about the supernote A5X? where does that rank?
Which ones have warm light?
Why even bother showing me the first 3 that are exclusively in Chinese? Stop wasting my fooking time.
time to learn chinese ;D
That feeling when you’re watching tons of a videos AFTER buying an e-book 😅😅😅
What about MobiScribe Origin?
Is there a single one of these I could buy or???
I’ve had an air for a couple of weeks and really like it so far. I have only one complaint: there still isn’t a decent case for it!!! The thing is, the device itself, while gorgeously finished, is a bit slippery and feels ‘precious’ enough that you are paranoid about dropping it. Until I get a case, I’m just leaving it in the box while using it.
Come on, Onyx!
I have to accept DPT S1 is a lot better ereader, very light weight compared to 100g more (which does make difference) onyx max. But to note taking I don’t think any ereader can come close to remarkable. rM gives closest paper feel. I have used Sony dpt, onyx Boox max3 it was more like writing on plastic. You don’t want to use it after using rM.
Mention the price
Thank you for the detailed comparison! How would you rate Note Air against the new Kobo Elipsa? I’m torn between the two.
I’m struggling to see why a device that has "extremely limited functionality" and is very expensive (The Quaderno) gets a higher place than either of the Likebooks? What am I missing here?
Let’s be honest, amazon has a strangehold on the ebook market so it’s always going to be the best unless things change.
why even bother to name devices that aren’t available. so frustrating.
As much as I love my Note Air, it is not without cons. Specifically the pen and screen protector you get you can basically just put in the trashcan. So:
1. Get a better pen. Pretty much anything will be an upgrade, but my favorite is the Samsung galaxy tab s6 lite pen, which also features magnets like the default pen (it may be too small if you have big hands though).
2. Get a better screen protector. It’s a lot down to preference, but I love the ESR Paper-Feel screen protector. It has a really nice paper feel without being too rough. It’s very similar to the reMarkable 2 feel. It also diffuses reflections even more than the naked Note Air screen, unlike most other screen protectors that will actually make it more reflective. The main challenge is that you can’t get it in the right size, so you’ll have to buy one that’s too big (for instance the iPad Pro 12.9) and cut it to size yourself. The only one I know of that you can get in the right size for the Note Air is from DooDroo, but that one is extremely rough/coarse, too much for my taste at least.
With those two upgrades it’s a phenomenal writing experience and a very powerful and versatile device.
Waste of a watch, if you are doing a video in English to the western world who cares about chinese only products?
Sounds like you hate all of them
I thin I’ll buy an iPad 😐
why you even ranking chinese only devices? yikes
e-readers are to F expensive and the screen does not justify the price in the least. Not to mention quality and features are severely lacking. I would like to see a video for the best value e-reader with a small price tag.
why this rank is totally different with the one you made in April???
Watching this on my Surface Pro 7. My e-book reader, e-Reader and digital note taking device.
Not sure why you even have to put the Chinese only devices in the review
Anybody noticed that the iFlyTek lady had her torso consored? WTF China?
Thank you for making this video. Your videos are awesome!
Why didn’t QuirkLogic Papyr make your list?
May I have your opinion please?
I am planning to purchase my first enote device this month for work.
I have watched many reviews online over the past week. I feel I have narrowed the devices down to these three but I am open to other ideas as well.
QuirkLogic Papyr (13.3") (Chrome, Google Drive, PDF) (includes stylus, no case) $700.00
Supernote A5X (10.3 Unbreakable) (WORD, PDF, Gmail, Chrome) (backordered till mid-april) (includes leather folio with attached pen holder, engraved ceramic pen) $530.00
Onyx Book Note Air (10.3" with front light) (android apps) (includes case, screen protector, 1 tip, and pen holder) $480.00
I am nervous to purchase the wrong device and have a paperweight. I plan to use it every day.
Considering my needs listed below, which device do you recommend?
The features I desire are:
-Close to standard paper size.
-A screen-writing experience that is not glass like an iPad is.
-Note takinging primarily function.
-Download PDFs over the internet.
-Writing on PDFs and exporting, uploading and emailing them.
-The ability to output red color on final PDFs.
-Folio or carrying case.
Which enote device do you recommend for these needs?
Thank you for your help.
Based on what you’re saying, they all SUCK! 🤣🤣🤣
Regarding ReMarkable 2, I have three of them and it works in single account.
Whyyyyyyy…. whyyyyy…. are you presenting to us CHINESE ONLY tablets????
e-readers with Android OS is the best choice.
I don’t mind having interface controls in chinese as long as the e-reader can display books in english. Does someone know something about this?
Remarkabel should be Nr. 1 in my opinion
remarkable 2?
Great video, thank you so much!!
Hello, so I am a disabled artist, I have a bunch if art supplies I lug around with me and strap to my stuff so I can just go outside to draw. It’s very very inconvenient and hard for me to do this. I then bought a samsung tablet 10in prior to learning of eink tablets with the WACOM screens. Needless to say my drawing experience on the samsung has not been enjoyable at all. I saw that they now have eink color tablets available for people who draw, and read…and both are me!!! I love the thought of everything being so compact and easy to take with me ON MY OWN!!! I am on a very tight and limited income due to being disabled and medical expenses, is there a 10" eink tablet that allows you to draw and comes with blank templates and allows you to use google play?? Also is it affordable for someone like me in my situation?? After just my monthly dr bill’s and medcine, I have $200 left and that gets put towards food, but I cant eat much so I end up having like $100 left?? I currently have like $300 I could put towards a eink color drawing device with a large screen that has a wacom screen and is possibly android. Could you please help me with some reccomendations?? Id love nothing more to be able to draw when I want to and be able to do this on my own without having to wait for someone to help assist me in getting all my stuff together just so I can draw. Thanks soooooo much for your help I really appreciate it. Stay safe.
wish they would talk about function more than style
wow it feels good to know chinese hshs
Why are you reviewing devices clearly not meant for the market you are in?
You pronounced Xiaomi wrong you pronounce it as showmi but the "show" is taken from the word shower
Have a great day everyone
My Boox Onyx is the worst purchase I have ever made. The android apps are unusable because of slowness and latency. I bought it exclusively to run Onenote. Will it run it? Yes. Is it usable? NO. Hand-written notes are frustrating and slow because of the latency. Native screen refresh is too slow as well.
Why are you showing me sooo many Chinese only devices! Stop wasting our time.
Why there is no onyx Boox note 3?
you’re still saying way-com a year later
0:57 ffs why are they censoring her chest? jfc
