@@GaryLangEngr because there are some reading and writing apps in the play store. The main reason why I want the Boox air over the remarkable and the Kindle scribe is for Bible apps from the play store and split screen functionality. But the price 😢
I've had both. prefer the remarkable because of the aesthetics and simplicty. THe boox C has a darker screen btw - and it doesn't look nearly as paperlike. The normal one that isn't colored is better.
Nah the reason I love remarkable is because it doesn't have any apps and is just a paper tablet and nothing else. I already have a smartphone, computer, laptop and an Ipad so why would I buy another device that will just fuel my already bad social media addiction. I bought remarkable so I get rid of it and be able to stay focused on what I am doing
I have this device and it isn't distracting at all for me. I can clearly focus on tasks. It is because I turn off notifications and, I could say, e-ink screen isn't such hypnotic with contrasts and colours like OLEDs so it isn't such pleasure for animal in us to ditract ourself with something. I hardly use any social media. Only at time I really want and need it like now when I am writing this comment. I use it like tablet/PC but for most of note-taking I have reMarkable. It may be also thing of my inner setting with this device and more of a control of my internal triggers tha lead me to distractions. But I would be in sometime taking course to be Indistractable so I can level up.
That's a non issue. The ability to use apps won't make you use the apps because the OS design is about as minimalistic as any other notes/reading focused e-paper device. The refresh rate would keep you from wanting to consume content (other than books) for extended periods anyway.
Exactly. The Remarkable isn't for every one. But for the select that adopt it, it's a beast of a creativity and productivity tool. I love mine. I push through lots of time-bound key projects with the Remarkable. Pure distraction free thinking. 😊
buy regular ass paper and save over 1000 dollars, like you need to buy highway robbery prices for paper then a pen to use it and then a subscription to do what paper does for free save 1000 dollars over the course of years dude
Don't be fooled; I own several e-ink tablets, including the Boox Ultra Tab C. 150 DPI in color makes it very pixilated. The lack of contrast between the ink and the screen is very noticeable. While I appreciate the Boox for what it can do, if you are reading or writing in black and white, I highly suggest a non-color option with greater contrast and higher resolution. A reMarkable with 300+ dpi and whiter background would be ideal. Even the new reMarkable Paper Pro seems to compromise color for some contrast.
This thing actually looks awesome! On their site it says it’s $649. So, a tad pricy. But functionality-wise, this thing looks like a beast! Kindle on steroids.
nah you spent 600 dollars on a version of paper and then 100 dollars for a pen just to use it that is sad you could've just spent less than 5 bucks on paper, buy a folder, and a pen now completely eliminated the use of the thing if you can keep paper organized with a folder
What's the point in buying this? If you did some research you would find that the bigme inknote color lite costs like 2/3 of the price and still does everything this one does. I mean you don't need that better processor on an e-ink tablet anyway. You also get a fingerprint reader on the bigme, better color accuracy (not the dimming lines you can see on boox) and a pen with more functions.
I have one. But take care, do not put the remarkable together with your laptop in the bag. Putting it together with other devices will cause screen distortion. It creates a magnetic field at the screen that causes your lines to be inaccurate. It's downside why I am considering of returning it. But if you have a separate bag you can carry it in, then you should not experience this issue. Besides this it's truly a amazing device
Never heard of anyone having to pay a sub for a kindle or remarkable. I believe that the Kindle can get an Amazon premium book sub giving you access ro the amazon library for a monthly fee instead of having go buy every book. But that might be part of amazon premium today, last time I considered a kindle was like in 2012?
