Getting an e-reader that wasnt a Kindle never really occurred to me.
And then I tried theBoox Note Air.
I kind of love it.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Want to use a full-fledged web client?
Want to check out Instagram photos in black and white?
Want to take handwritten notes for a class?
you might even watch videos at laughably slow frame rates.
Its a degree of freedom Im not used to from a gear with this display technology.
That is, except for the fact the screen is 10 inches, which is wonderful.
The note-taking experience with the included Notes app is surprisingly great.
It really does feel surprisingly close to writing on paper.
There are just a few caveats to the devices flexibility.
This is not as big of a deal as I expected.
Alternatively, you could install them from a site likeAPK Mirror.
Third: the inking experience is lackluster outside of Booxs own Notes app.
Unfortunately, the pen input is too laggy in other apps.
Still, I found these caveats to be minor setbacks.
This talk of customization is just icing on the cake.
90 percent of the time, I just used the machine for reading.
Most of the rest was spent writing notes, and I only occasionally dabbled into other apps.
And some might prefer the idea of a machine that can only really do one thing.
If thats the case, the Boox Note Air might not be the right choice.
Find iton the companys site at $455.99.
