Just received today my Kindle oasis , so practical to read on it , especially with the physical buttons to turn pages , small format etc
man, even the new generation of color screen still not as crisp as the b&w one. the good thing is it's improving every year. maybe in a few years it will get there
I had the original nova air and used it for kindle and manga. I ended up selling it. I now have the kindle paper white signature and an iPad mini. The boox was a jack of all trades master of none kind of situation. I much prefer reading on the kindle and reading manga and doing other tablet stuff on my iPad.
Same!
Wow this comment sealed the deal for me. Only bummer is not being able to see the cover art for my favorite books on a kindle :(
Ewww, a kindle.
Good video. But the comparison is misleading some times, with very different font sizes and different manga files apparently (they are in different languages).
Nova Air C looks soooo awesome! 🤩
How much?
Thenks for competition. Now I know I don't need Boox and I wil use Kindle. Basically it reading on eRader. It will be nice to hear biggest screen and colour, but the most important in comfort of reading.
I will wait what future will bring.
Love your videos!
Can you compare the screens of Boox Air 7.8 and Boox Air C? I would love to see how that would look like next to each other.
If the most basic function (here I mean contrast and clarity of text) is not good, all other features are meaningless.
You are 100% correct. The purpose is to read.
Yeah, if the purpose is only reading, don't go for a color e-ink screen, but if you have other purposes as well it is interesting to see how well it handles the reading aspect as well
Other critical features are weight, physical buttons, warm light, minimal interface, file compatibility, screen size, and ergonomics.
I can’t wait for a day when these screens will look exactly like print on paper
Not a bright clear white is a plus for me as a darkmode user! :D
Is the (coloured) Nova Air C good for a university student for note taking, planing a schedule, studying and staying organised?
I would also like to know!
The new samsung tab s8 or Microsoft surface would be better for note taking. These e ink displays are best for reading. They are too slow using a pen.
Nice review, thanks Peter 👍
It's almost perfect as-is. People complaining about the colors looking "washed out" can just go get an iPad or Fire and stop whining, or stick with black and white if they need their white to be some perfect looking eggshell hue of a specific spectrum. Stop comparing it to something that A) It isn't and B) Something completely different that already exists and is easily purchased if you don't need a color screen.
The only reason I haven't bought one is the idiocy that decided these screens should be less than the size of a piece of standard A4 paper. Once someone actually uses E-Ink's new 13.3" screen in their product, I will pay any amount of money and store every magazine, pdf, cbr, and anything else on there (and I won't whine and complain about color quality when the alternatives are black and fcking white... seriously what are these people even comparing it to? An LCD screen? Until someone iterates an E Ink display that does better, there's nothing to complain about). Black and white Ereaders are a dime a dozen and not hard to find, THIS is what we need in a proper usable size at least 12" or more.
Great comparison, thanks!
Is this the best device
Onyx Boox Nova Air C Is this the best reader device?
I want this device in India. What will be the process ?
Maybe for this purpose it would have been more on par with black and white and without wacom layer - onyx leaf ? Interesting, though
Maybe you could do a special comparing frontlight e ink vs backlight led concerning eye strain - as you would use it nearly always if not in plain sunlight ?
As an avid manga, comics, webtoon and illustrated books/novel reader, I honestly hope the colored tech catches up soon.
Rn, it's so expensive and not as good.
I'll stick to my kindle and phone for now but hope for a better future 🖤
The comparison I really want to see is black background, white text. How's that look on the Nova Air C?
the only minimal problem with onyx boox is its battery life. other than that these devices are pure technological miracle. kindle and kobo cannot catch up to onyx.
How is the battery?
@@ajbp95 2000 mA
To see an E-ink screen with collor is kinda weird for me to be honest
I don'k the collored screen need to try to be black and white if it working with so many collors, just disable in the system side some applications like kindle books from with collors and limit them to black and white when just the cover will be in collor
Just what I wanted to see. Thanks!
Don't waste money buying Boox, I regret buying it
This is a very incorrect comment.
Outside of the big three, Onyx is the number one brand in e-paper today
@@goodereader you can't say other people opinion is correct or not. It's my experience, I bought it with my money used it 2 years. Top ereader today is YOUR OPINION, not for everyone.
We've been in the business for 13 years and it is not our opinion. It is an objective fact that Onyx is number one outside of the big three (Kobo, b&n, amazon)
@@goodereader And you don't have the right to insist other people's opinion isn't correct. What is so call "not our opinion" is still your opinion, not including everyone. you got it?
Onyx is the highest specs and best selling devices with the latest software and the most varied line of devices
I am currently struggling here.
These eReaders are all badly equipped. Yes, Onyx is trying really hard with calling them "powerful" (like the shill reviews do), but an SD662 ain't powerful. That is a very slow SOC. 3GB RAM, 32GB (eMMC) storage and a small 2000mah battery WITHOUT a microSD slot make it an even worse deal.
Compare this to a recently released Android tablet (Xiaomi Pad 5). It has an SD860, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, 8600ish mah battery AND a microSD card slot. It also has quad speakers, which sound decent enough. MSRP 399€, now available for 330ish euros (400€ for the 256GB version). I have a really hard time justifying the Onyx Boox C right now, but I really want it... however I want this for Manga and 32GB of storage is trash for Manga. Ideally I would love to put my whole library on this...
Why the fuck do they not include an SD slot? Why only 32GB of storage? This is really pissing me off right now as I really want an 8" eReader.
why not compare the air 2 versus kindle for screen sharpness and kindle features ? That's a better comparison, no ?
No, cuz the Air 2 is over a year old and it's not topical right now. No one's talking about it, and it's 4 in bigger than the Kindle
Text look actually great on Kindle.
Onyx is the best for me because I can't understand English well. It makes me can't read kindle books. So I read many books from local digital bookstores in my country.
Considering that Kindle device can't instal other apps, I prefer other device than kindle.
It's such a cruel balancing act. On one hand, we want e-ink screens to be able to read without getting our eyes strained, that means we can read more and for longer. On the other hand, the more features, the worse the reading experience gets. I do find myself getting tired of reading on my Note Air because of the inferior contrast, even with the backlight on. The Kindle looks like it's engraving those fonts right into my brain. I think we are getting to the point where more is becoming less (but for more $).
I don't understand what the "Kindle looks like it's engraving those fonts right into my brain" means. Is that a good or a bad thing? I am planning to buy a Kindle this week and I am concerned if it will just strain my eyes. Hoping for your reply.
According to you which device puts least strain on eyes and is available today?
Color e-ink screens aren't that good compared to other ereaders. But the contrast on e-tablets are just as good as kiddle, but e-ink tablets are a lot better in other aspects, like being able to read a lot of text formats and having google
@@CrazyAsianDude It's a good thing. It's like paper, but even better, because you can read at night too.
But kindle is only worth it if you're not planning on reading comics and other books in formats that can't reflow text properly, like PDFs.
If you want it strictly for reading, then it's the best. If you want other things, like note taking, images, etc, then it'd be better to get a bigger device.
I agree with most of the comments here. I use my Note Air to work and study.i have to read lots of pdfs and reference technical books. The advantage of having a split screen, global search capabilities (through third party apps) and replacing my paper notebooks is good enough of a reason to invest in it. For reading long books Kindle is the best by far.
So color e-ink screen technology is not on par with the paper-like look of black and white e-ink screens at least for now.
So what the point of getting it instead of an OLED or LCD tablet, other than the longer battery life ?
Thanks for the video.
If you don't care about getting you eyes strained, then OLED for sure is your choice...
I personally spend a lot more on Eink than LCD screens. I've spent $400+ to get a Nova 3 Color to read anything that requires colour, comics/graphic novels, textbooks, etc. and taking notes in colour; and then I recently purchased a Boox Leaf to read just straight novels on various apps. I save a lot of money using Libby, Perlego (university textbook app), Scribd, etc.
The reason I make Eink screens a priority over LCD, is that I primarily spend my time reading on tablets, whether reading novels, or news articles, forums/posts, etc. I spend most my time reading and prefer doing so on an Eink screen. The only thing I would personally want an LCD tablet for would be to watch videos occasionally (which I'm more likely to do on my phone, smart tv, or comupter before a tablet). So while I will spend $100s on Eink screens, I'll spend $50 bucks on something like an LCD Amazon fire tablet for this purpose.
@@stevenprosser8813 Which one do you end up using most? How fluid is the nova 3 color? Would it be okay to only have the nova color?
now i get the new air c and wont touch even 1 sec with my old oasis 3…lol…only thing i m not happy with air c is the battery…have to recharge it almost every two days!! What are boox thinking about ???
You didnt even show the boox's strength which is being able to read comics or magazines. I just feel like your review was biased feom the start.
Good work!
I assume no backlight is on either one at 1:28 because the kindle looks whiter/more reflective therefore easier to read, the nova air looks completely dim, would never buy
i was all for the boox until the close up and it's basically pixels... it's also a very washed out colour but that's fine. I don't need intense colour.
Paper white 3 is probably most bang for buck.
I have two questions for the people in here who are professionals around e-readers. I am not.
- Could you use this Onyx Color Air C for reading comics ?
- Is there a better color e-reader ? That is faster, better colors , large memory and sd-card ?
If someone could point me in the good direction or give me any tips this would be much appreciated.👍
can you have white text on a black background on the Nova Air C? Would love to see this if it's possible.
It's an android reader so you can read your books on any android app. Several support white on black text. Not sure if Onyx's own reader does.
Well, double the price and not as good to read? I see that others mentioned this but would be great to see it under sunlight to see if is bearable. Since is a eink screen I imagine it will perform ok but is good to confirm.
I ordered the Boox Nova Air C but wished that I saw this video before. It sound that we need another year or two to refine the B&W experience
I have the Nova3 color, I used to own a Kindle Paperwhite and I can honestly say that I have no issues reading under sunlight. I mostly use my Nova3 to read and I find it more comfortable that I did my Kindle.
wish onyx release there smartphone that we been waiting for 2 years ego
ive notice the kindle looks darker but the boox looks more like manga paper tot me
Sad that the kindle app is not that good for other e-ink devices. But still prefer the boox devices.
Better to transfer your books off-kindle anyway. You don't really own a book if it's tied to an app. It's a must for me to have them downloaded as epubs so I can read them on any device using any app I like.
You can in the settings while actually reading a book you can turn animations off
0:35 4g is widely used literally everywhere, I hope you are talking about 5g otherwise it's a complete dealbreaker and I would never get this device
any way what does reading have to do with colours ???!!!! makes no sense!!!
I like Android e-ink tablets even in b&w.
kindle win, mainly because comics almost black and white
in this case kindle is still better for reading textbooks
I don't get why they build in such punny storage. Storage cost almost nothig at least up to 256 gb for micro sd.
I suggested on Twitter they at least offer a Deluxe model with 128GBs. Not as good as a card slot but better than a puny 32GB!
The same, in the end I bought the bigme carve for myself because 7.8" ain't enough for me.
@@Gamma_Draconis Is it good? The colors look more washed out than Nova Air C's.
@@priscila4520 I can't say because I don't have the air c. I don't have any problem with and it is a step in the right direction but not a leap. The color filter is still the same and the aviable colors are the same, the saturatio is the only difference. My main criterion were at least 10.3" screen, minimum 128 gigabyte storage and Android at least in englisch. With the bigme carve I get what I wished for. Software is stable, heck I can eaven youse autodesk sketchbook without any leg. You may not use the play store but it is only a small drawback. In the video he hast't shown that you can play with the color and b&w saturation. Non the less the old b&w look always sharper, I will not say that the color devices are bad, hope you get what I mean.
@@Gamma_Draconis Nice, thanks for your reply!
I'd love to buy the Bigme device, but that price lol
😍😍😍😍
You are high. Why in the WORLD would someone buy a washed out e-ink screen Android tablet running on a low powered 3 year old Snapdragon processor when for the same amount of money get a base model iPad or iPad mini?
battery. There is something to knowing a device is probabably alive
because it got an e-ink display? Think about reading in sunlight or in the evening before going to bed.
It has all the function of kindle but with better functions. Some reader prefer read epub that comes in colour to improve their reading experiences.
My opinion? Overpriced compromise. Still old Kaleido 2/Plus, still bad battery life, bad whites, bad visibility without the glow light... not spending money on this thing...
And…. 9:00 Linux on bard. When i Aśka person: how long your kindle works smoothly” I hear: 5 - 8 years. Ask people who has android on boards
no no no no - the android kindle app is not optimized for eink - this is not a kindle - why would you pretend is is - if you want a kindle - buy a kindle.. It is a e-book reader, runing android - use the dedicated ebook reader, you can not compare it like that.
Sorry Android is a dealbreaker. Have to wait for a Kobo of some sort.
