BOOX Note Air 3 C E Ink 10.3" ePaper Tablet 4G 64G

I have explored Kindle Scribe, Note Air 3 C and Remarkable, This device is the best choice, from price perspective and usability and features.Pros:- You have colorful display so if your books have some images with basic colors it looks good.- Pleasant reading experience from ePub and PDFs.- Smooth and pleasant writing experience with no lag.Cons:- too expensive. you are paying £500 for a device to limit yourself for reading and writing with a flickering display! a pen and notebook already help you.- It comes with a Google Play, but most of its note taking apps are not compatible with this device and drawing or writing on the screen comes with 1 second lag. so don't assume you can use your favorite note taking app on this device! I tried OneNote and it was working perfectly but the others no!- They intentionally added a cross mark on the top of the pen to not able use it as an eraser so you have to pay £100 more for pen with eraser! total cost with device £600!! this a very bad sign of marketing!- Doesn't support dark mode - even they have introduced dark mode support in latest version of its software, still was not available to update for this device and if so it only works with epub files.- If you use some sites like excalidraw.com to draw diagrams and writing, it's slow on the browser and you can't use it to draw, connect shapes, and write.- It's note taking app doesn't support selecting shapes by tapping on them, you have to always use lasso tool which after a while annoys you.- It didn't have proper dictionary and said you have to install one! from where? how? I have paid £500 so I expect it to have- I doesn't support persian hand writing recognition! but Boox Go 10.3 had it! it's 2024 and these things are basic things the device should have.Conclusion:Save your money and ignore the obsession about e-ink display and feeling productive or cool! a pen and notebook can help you a lot.

I really like the idea of a device that acts as an e-reader and notebook. My choice was between the 3C, Kindle scribe and Remarkable 2. I plumped for the 3C due to its versatility, it runs Android and therefore has access to the apps on the Google play store plus having a colour screen and a fully featured note taking app.Positives:- colour e-ink display, it is not vibrant like the iPad but it does help when reading documents which have graphs and charts- ability to install apps from Google play including Kindle, newspapers and magazines.- writing experience much better than an iPad, feels more like writing on paper as you have more control over the stylus.- comprehensive note taking app with a range of pre-installed templates.- performance is good enough, slower than an iPad because as with any e-ink display it can't refresh as quickly as an lcd or oled screen.- ereading using third party apps (I use Kindle) works very well, page turns are fast and the lighting on the screen can be adjusted to be warmer or cooler as desired.- Boox provides 10gb of free cloud storage.- uses a wacom stylus which doesn't need charging and is perfectly compatible with third party replacement nibsNegatives:- battery life is not terrible, however with reasonable use it will need charging every day unlike other e-ink devices- the magnets attaching the stylus to the side are too weak, it doesn't snap into place and unless you get the placing spot on it will fall off- the charging port is not accessible when the case is closed- the software can be glitchy at times and has a few rough edgesOverall I am happy with my purchase, I use the 3C every day and the positives outweigh the negatives.

Boox Tablet Note Air 3 C E ink tablet has been one of the best e ink tablet tablets I used. The battery life and the performance is on the next level- even I would say its better than remarkable. The price for this tablet I think would be too expensive, but its worth the price. The writing quality is very smooth and feels like I am taking notes on the paper, therefore you wont have the urge to write on paper notebooks.The tablet using android software, which allows me to download relevant apps, although the colour effects isn't that great, but the screen itself feels more like a kindle- so I use the tablet for reading books and writing notes.The stylus however is a downside. The nibs have to be replaced often because they are made of recyclable cardboard meaning it wears down as you write on the tablet, and the replacement is costly. Please look after the stylus as a more valuable item within the tablet packaging.Overall, the battery last for at least 3-4 months after fully charge. It does not drain heavily- so its recommended for those who are student like me looking for an e tablet like this for their daily use for schools, college and university students.This has been heavily helped me a lot because it allowed me to stop using paper in order to save trees, being greener means looking for alternative. This has been my greatest notebooks of all time.

I had a remarkable 2 for a few years which lasts days on end in terms of battery life. This tablet lasts only a few hours. The performance is good but otherwise if the tablet is going to die in a few hours then I’d say save your money!

- Great writing experience! This is the main plus point.- Screen not white enough to use without backlighting.- Battery life should be improved.- Pen keeps falling off all the time, magnetic attachment too weak.- Pdf reader lacking a continuous scroll mode.- Note-taking software has some bugs, though not too bad.- USB-C connection covered by Boox' own sleeve, inconvenient.- On-screen keyboard has very inconvenient handling of symbols, in particular brackets can only be typed in pairs
