The Xteink X4 makes a sharp promise: carry a real E Ink reader in the space where your phone usually goes. At $69 from Xteink, its 4.3-inch screen and 77-gram body solve the size problem that makes a full-size reader annoying to pack. The catch is equally clear: the X4 strips away the library access, […]
Xteink X4 Versus a Full Size E-Reader: Is Pocketability Worth the Compromises? Read More
I’d reserve a spot on this one, not a wallet. InkLeaf’s whole pitch fits into one motion: fold two E-Ink panels flat and get a book on one side, a notebook on the other, updating in real time. Founder Kameron Yu built the InkLeaf Foldable E Ink Tablet around that swap, and the early photos

The original BOOX Go 10.3 earned its following by doing something rare in the e-ink tablet space. It delivered a 10.3-inch display at 300 PPI while staying just 4.6mm thin, and it managed to look fantastic doing it. Without a front light layer sitting between the screen and your eyes, contrast was sharp and the

ARTICLE – Every year, tablets get faster chips, sharper cameras, and another wave of apps nobody asked for. The whole category has been sprinting toward “do everything” for over a decade, packing screens with notifications and content feeds that fight for your attention. Then there’s reMarkable, a company that looked at that race and walked
The Most Expensive E-Ink Tablet You Can Buy Does Almost Nothing Read More
Most productivity tools promise to help you focus while simultaneously offering seventeen ways to not focus. The browser tab you’re supposed to write in sits next to the tab where you’re checking analytics, reading news, and pretending research counts as progress. The Zerowriter Ink doesn’t negotiate with this impulse because it physically can’t connect to

REVIEW – I work in IT as a data modeler and data analyst on a data warehousing team. Even though I have been using computers for over 70% of my life, I still find myself taking random notes in meetings and on my desk as I work, to remind myself of things I need to

REVIEW – Now that smart tablets have progressed over the years, they are becoming specialized in their core function. E-Ink technology has become popular because it offers a distraction-free environment for writing, note taking, and reading.

REVIEW – I’m a big fan of the reMarkable 2. I reviewed it 2 years ago and still love it to this day. It still works great and is still my favorite of all the other e-ink note-taking tablets I’ve tried. So, of course, when they released the reMarkable Paper Pro I wanted to get

REVIEW – I’ve been very curious about Boox notebooks ever since I found out that these lightweight, versatile notebooks existed. I know plenty of folks like them because they run Android (and thus apps), sip power, and the fact that they are more distraction-free than a regular tablet. I found that to be true when

REVIEW – I’ve used a baker’s dozen or more tablets over the years (Android, ChromeOS, and iOS), everything from early touchscreens that were resistive (ugh) to the latest and greatest Apple iPad Pro. The cheaper Android tablets have almost all had issues for me ranging from minor to unusable, but the TCL TAB 10 NXTPAPER

REVIEW – Note taking apps and devices are highly personal. Whether it is EverNote and OneNote back in the day, or Notion or reMarkable today, almost anyone with the need to take notes has a personal preference they will share with you whether you want the opinion or not. Boox has been around the note

NEWS – As someone who owned a Windows Mobile phone before the first iPhone ever hit the market, you could say I’ve tended to surf the bleeding edge of mobile phone technology (for better or for worse). The last few years I’ve owned no less than four different folding phone models, but even though I
REVIEW – Like many people, my eyes ache after hours in front of screens. Some of it is due to not enough breaks while focusing at text, but I’ve also discovered in the last few years that certain screens are much worse than others for me (probably due to my aging millennial eyes). I also

REVIEW – I’ve been wanting to try an E Ink tablet for a little while so that I can take handwritten notes on a digital device. My hope was that the tablet would convert the handwriting into typewritten text to make it more readable, sync them to all my devices, and then allow me to

REVIEW – e-ink tablets have gained traction outside of e-readers as productivity devices, though they have often required compromise. Whether due to proprietary software or lackluster hardware, there aren’t many options for a robust slate that offers all the benefits of e-ink while maintaining wide app compatibility. The BOOX Note Air 2 Plus packs a

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’m a big proponent of e-ink. I prefer reading and writing on an e-ink tablet over an LCD any day, but when I heard of the Eyemoo NXT Epaper S1 Android tablet, I was intrigued. Eyemoo has created the “World’s first color Reflective-LCD with front light” and I wanted to check it
