Perfect
So glad I got this. It works really well, the writing feeling is good and it's a nice looking device with a good size. It was heavier than I figured, but not bad. I would suggest getting the cover with it. I noticed people complain about the colors and brightness. Not a problem in my experience so far. I guess my expectations weren't as high. I know the eink display and the colors won't be like a regular display. I don't find it dim, I have the brightness of the front light down even. Maybe if I was trying to use it in the dark or something? Anyway, the display and writing experience is good. It's not perfectly like writing on paper but there's a texture. I got a matte screen protector since I saw people recommending that, but other than for protection, I don't think it's necessary. It made the texture even more coarse, and that's ok. I did get an aftermarket pen but the one that comes with it is fine. I got felt nibs too, but the ones that come with it are fine. Is there ghosting? Yes. I understand that's hard to avoid with eink displays. You can clear it and it automatically will do so with a screen refresh (and you can configure how often). It's faint enough to not bother me and I know it's not permanent and I can refresh it if it does bother me. I absolutely can see how it would annoy someone though...but I'm focused on utility and not a perfect display. I had hoped to sketch some art with this device. I haven't seriously tried yet, but it's not a graphics tablet. The colors aren't accurate/rich, the brushes aren't super sophisticated. I haven't tried downloading an app from the app store with more brushes, but I will. My concern is performance, but I can't speak to that right now. Having Android on it it's another selling point. I can use all the apps I need, email, kindle app, etc. Google Gemini app works on it too. It feels a little underpowered but their writing app is fine. I don't really see any lag when writing. Most utility apps are fine, but there's compromises of a screen reader. Do not expect web sites to be real friendly here. Some won't even be usable. At least not with their built in web browser. I did watch a youtube video for fun. It worked but the colors aren't right. Refresh rate wasn't as bad as I thought...but no, you're not watching videos on this device. Why would you? It does its job perfectly - taking notes and reading books/content. Could it be improved? Sure. Wave a magic wand and give it zero ghosting. Make the hardware a little faster and give it more vivid colors. I wouldn't want a regular LCD screen. Eink is the right call for a device like this. ... show more

This is a great tablet. A good way to describe this is if an iPad and a kindle had a baby, it would be this device. At first I wasn't enjoying it but once the customization started and toying around with the settings to make the words more clear, I started liking it more. I absolutely love how thin and light it is. Very cute. Not a device for everyone, it's not perfect but it is great for work and pleasure. It's easy on the eyes and you can do a lot on it. Battery life isn't bad but could be better. ... show more

Great tablet, just not for me
I'll preface this by saying that I ultimately returned this item, but it was a tough call. I purchased it in the hopes of finding an e-ink device that could replace my iPad for work. I read a lot, so I was especially interested in the e-ink for reducing the strain on my eyes. But I was also interested in the Android OS because it meant I could download other apps that I use for work, like Canvas. Overall I think this is a really great tablet, but I just couldn't justify the added expense when the iPad does all of the same things (minus the e-ink of course) but usually with a cleaner and smoother interface. The display is really strong, but does have some drawbacks. I was generally impressed with the color and image rendering (more on that below). Particularly with newer PDFs I found the text display to be surprisingly crisp. Images were kind of hit or miss. Comics displayed pretty clearly, but some other images were grainier. In some cases I found that problems with color rendering could be resolved by adjusting the display and refresh settings. The baseline display is dark, but it sounds like this is just a known issue with the Kaleido displays. If you're in broader daylight or a brightly lit room this might be manageable, but I found myself relying on the front light almost all the time. The settings were flexible, so it was easy to find a sweet spot with the lighting so that it felt more natural, like reading a paper page or like looking at a remarkable2 screen. I didn't have many problems with the screen refreshing. Sure, it would ghost sometimes, but the refresh option was readily accessible and worked well. Overall it wasn't too much of a problem. Similar to other issues, the refresh settings were highly customizable, so you cand speed up the frequency of the refresh if you need to. The screen size was pretty good, but it would be nice to have a little more space for reading. I read a lot of articles where the default format is two columns, so this can lead to the pages looking a little cramped on the page. Yes, you can zoom in, but I kind of like the idea of the technology minimizing the amount of fussing I have to do, not creating more work to navigate around. This is a really structural issue, though. I didn't really care for some of the software design choices, and this was a major limiting factor. The general interface is fine, but the note and reader apps have kind of a clunky file management system that I didn't really like. This is one area that seemed oddly non-customizable compared to the rest of the system. The integration of third-party apps like Dropbox and Canvas was initially a big plus, but I didn't like the way these apps actually functioned in practice. Canvas, in particular, suffered from more lags and ghosting than other apps. The writing was also lagging more here than in the native note taking app. Some of this was resolved by adjusting the refresh settings, but it was still notably inferior to the native apps. The ability to focus on particular sub-windows was also absent compared to the iPad, and made writing/commenting on submissions more difficult. The voice dictation was also considerably inferior compared to the iPad. Much of this isn't really the fault of the Boox device, but I suspect is more on the software developers. The user experience on the iPad is just so much smoother and cleaner by comparison, and since I spend a non-trivial amount of time reading and commenting/grading, that was a big factor for me. One nice thing about the Android OS, though, is that almost any time I ran into a problem with some feature or function I eventually found that it could be resolved by adjusting system settings. The ability to add weight to PDF font or to in-app font (like Canvas) was a big plus, and something the iPad actually lacks. My takeaway is that this is a really nice device, and works quite well, but it just didn't suit my particular needs. Again, some of this is on app developers and not on the Boox tablet itself. The dark display and screen size were structural features that I didn't love, but they weren't deal breakers in and of themselves. The color display is pretty impressive, and if you're having trouble with the crispness of images I'd recommend tweaking the settings a bit and I expect you'll have an improved experience (for most cases). ... show more

Nice eink reader
Works great for reading and there are many options to customize the reading experience such as: sliders modify brightness, sliders for backlighting, along with high contrast and screen refresh settings. It’s very good for someone like me who suffers from light triggered migraines. I bought this specifically to avoid migraines with multi-hour reading sessions, since I’m unable to use a regular computer monitor without triggering a migraine after a recent surgery. It seems to work well in that regard. It’s a bit big, so this thing is not easily held in one hand. You certainly can do it, but it’s not comfortable to do so without leaning the device against something. The setup was a bit of a problem for myself, but shouldn’t be a problem for most people. I had difficulty since the front light brightness setting was too bright given my light migraine problem, but after working through that, I was able to change the settings to nearly remove the front light and heavily reduce blue light. Again, an average person won’t be bothered by this. This was only for the first time setup, so it’s not that big of a negative. It uses a USB C port for charging and there’s a wonderful bright color outlining the port. No issues charging it outside of the keyboard case. My only wish after reading through some books over the past few hours is that they made the charging icon more obvious in high contrast mode and low front lighting. There are settings to reduce ghosting and honestly, it hasn’t bothered me with my current settings. It could be a bigger problem with different settings. This is my first eink reader since an original kindle, so I can’t compare it to other models currently on the market, but this is great to read from. The tech has come a long way. The colors on this eink reader aren’t going to match up perfectly to a regular phone or monitor, but that is expected—the technology isn’t there yet. I bought this knowing that before purchasing. Personally, the color screen has been enjoyable—certainly better than a greyscale reader. Have yet to try the stylus that came with it, as I only intended to use this for reading with the kindle and O’Reilly books apps. No issues using the Google play store on it. I would definitely recommend this to someone if they had had the money to spend and were looking for an eink reader. ... show more

I can actually "write" my Great American Novel now ;-)
I looked into every viable option for a writing tablet, and I finally landed on this one. This search has taken literal years. I've been working on my "Great American Novel" and had grown weary of using a laptop and keyboard for my writing. but the options to more to electronic writing were either severely limited in their capabilities, or they require a subscription, (some times both) but all the options seemed unreasonably expensive. I'd pretty quickly realized that I wanted an e-ink screen and a large one at that, the BOOX Note Air 5 C, has one of the larger screens available but not the largest, so a little bit of a compromise as I was hoping to get a screen that was a true 8.5 x 11, as it is the BOOX is more than large enough. I realize now that a larger screen device would be kind of cumbersome to use. The BOOX also has a feature I didn't want, it's that little alley of unusable real estate along the left side of the screen, but as it turns out, that area is critical for ease of use because it makes holding the table much easier because there is a natural place for your thumb to rest while you're writing, without it there would have to be a software solution that rejected your thumb placement what could cause strange anomalies. One of the main reasons I selected this tablet was it's lack of a need for a subscription and it's ability to function as an android 15 tablet. It's not an ideal android tablet, but it isn't limited strictly to a writing device and being that it's android it can easily connect to my network storage devices. Some of the available tables don't include a stylus in their base price - which is ridiculous for a writing device - The BOOX includes the writing "pen" and that "pen" includes 4 writing tips (one installed and 3 under the rear cap) so I was able to start writing as soon as I took it out of the box and charged it up. The stylus/pen includes a strong magnet to hold it to the side of the table when it's not being used, there are two magnetic positions, one which is slightly lower on the edge of the device holds the stylus more loosely and doesn't force the stylus to press the volume rocker switch, this position seems to be designed for holding the stylus when you are actually using the tablet. Sliding the stylus up slightly along the edge of the device there is a much stronger magnet holding it in position, In this position the stylus can press the volume down button firmly enough to active it, so it's clearly a storage position. One think to note the stylus should be attached with the writing end pointing toward the volume buttons. This keeps cap end of the stylus from activating the volume buttons accidentally while you're using the tablet. The E-Ink screen is both a blessing and a little bit of a curse, if you're in an environment with enough light, the screen reflects enough light to make writing feel natural. and you don't need the screen light at all. In a completely dark environment you must use the screen light because just like a book or a paper writing pad there is no way to see it in the dark. it's in those "in between lighting condition" environments where there is enough light to write on a paper writing pad, but that light is not enough to use the BOOX without the screen light that can be frustrating. Since the BOOX is a color E-Ink device it reflects less light than a black and white screen would. So you're forced to use the screen light in situations where intuitively you'd think you wouldn't have too, this is actually important because the screen light drains the battery, and battery life is the weakest link for the BOOX, I don't know if it's the fact that the device is running full Android 15 or if it's the digitizer that makes the writing possible, but when used for writing the BOOX seems to burn through the battery fast enough that you can literally watch the battery percentage drop while you're using the device. The "Fuel Economy" is not so bad that you can't get your work done, especially if you're using it like I do, for you own writing tasks, but I do wonder if it would be a good choice for note taking in a college setting where a person might need a solid 7 or 8 hours of battery life to get through a full day, based upon my device it wouldn't make it through even one whole day in that scenario. This leads to charging time, that can be longer than you'd think, the initial charge took several hours (to be fair, the instruction manual said it would take up to 4 hours, so they did a good job managing expectations). If you burn the battery all the way down to 10 or 5% with a long writing session it could be several hours before you're back to 100%. I was pleasantly surprised by how luxurious the BOOX felt when I opened the package, it has a quality look and a density to it that makes it feel solid and well made, the exterior is metal and it's overall elegantly slim it feels good in your hand and it's sturdy and easy to hold for long periods of time. One of the big things for a writing device is the ability to convert that writing to text, here again, the BOOX is one of the few devices that I could determine could do this without needing a internet connection. That text conversion can be used either to convert your document to a text document (which replaces your hand written document with a text document) or it can be used to present a text version of your written document that can be pasted into a text based document (this method does not destroy or replace you written document). As one would expect you can pick different pens and brushes, and different line thickness's and colors. The BOOX has lots of setting that I don't necessarily understand and haven't yet mastered, and one does best to read the detailed user's manual that is included on the tablet, this is especially true if you'll be using it for drawing. One thing to note here is that it does this best if you use the built in writing / drawing app, all of their capability claims are based upon the understanding that you will use the built in apps, this is not a problem in any way, but it's something to keep in mind. For instance, you can download other writing apps, but they do not provide a convincing pencil on paper experience, there is a MASSIVE lag with every writing app I tried, it's so bad that it's distracting and kind of ruins the writing experience. The built in writing app is not like that at all there is no noticeable lag between the pen and "ink", writing feels convincing because the screen has a paper like texture that adds just the right amount of resistance, it even works with the stylus to produce a realistic pencil on paper writing noise. My Tablet was purchased with the included tablet cover, that cover is very nice and looks smart and refined, the cover converts to a stand (both portrait and landscape) and will put the BOOX to sleep mode when the cover is closed. The cover also includes a removable magnetic closure, I didn't initially understand why the closure is fully removable, but it has to do with how the digitizer and stylus work, you do not want the closure to be anywhere near the screen when you are using the stylus, the strong magnetic field created by the closure interferes with the stylus in a way that causes your writing and drawing in the area where the clip is attached to lag and skew oddly, this is not a problem once you understand the reasons and heed the warnings (I got several magnetic field warnings and couldn't understand why I was getting them, then one day during a long writing session I figured it out!). As an Android tablet you can install just about any app from the play store but how well that app plays with the E-Ink screen will vary, Writing apps, Reading apps, and Drawing apps will work fine (with the screen, not necessarily great with the stylus) but streaming apps and games with lots of movement are not a great fit. E-ink is not a great choice for motion (movies, games, etc) this is not a BOOX problem, it's an E-Ink reality. You can watch a video or movie in a pinch but the experience is not satisfying at all (with he exception of cartoons like old looney tunes, which work ok and are enjoyable on the color E-Ink screen) Dark scenes in movies and games are just a black hole with no detail and some games where the scene doesn't look all that dark on a LCD screen will show very dark on the E-Ink screen. This is a little bit of a shame for games especially because the touch and tilt functionality for games like Alphalt 8 or Riptide GP Renegade is actually very good. Another fail would be using the BOOX for maps. My tablet seems to support location but it doesn't follow you and only seems to work for a second or two then stops feeding location data to the apps, I was hoping it would be a unique way to use maps but it didn't work at all. Music apps and bluetooth work well and the BOOX supports adding additional storage via sd cards. there are built in stereo speakers they do a reasonable job but the best experience is to pair the device with a good bluetooth speaker or two, it's a great little platform for music. I think it's best to remember the main purpose of the BOOX, it's an ePaper notebook first and foremost, it's is also a pretty good eReader (visually speaking, the built in book apps aren't optimized for the device (or at least don't seem to be) ) and the kindle app works well enough but it doesn't seem to know it's being used with and E-Ink device so there are some E-Ink related screen issues (around ghosting and refresh) that are distracting to me, but I could see them being deal breakers for others. The newspaper like color of the E-Ink screen is kind of fun and charming with the right kind of content, (comic eBooks and color drawings). I'm glad I found the BOOX, it does exactly what I wanted it to do, it's made it possible for me to actually "write" my book instead of typing it, and it's true that you think differently when you're writing instead of typing. I've actually taken the BOOX to a park and sat in the sun and written pages and pages, the way the screen reflects ambient light works brilliantly for writing outdoors. It's the most reasonably priced device for eWriting that I could find, it has a good size, good writing experience and a subscriptionless usage model that does not rely on the "cloud" for any of it's important basic functions. It feels nice in the hand, and isn't such a niche device that it will be forgotten in a drawer somewhere. I'd buy it again, and I'm enjoying using it. ... show more

No Palm Rejection, Poor Color Saturation, Dark Screen when Unlit
I tried to like this device. I have a small 4" eReader (XTEINK 4 w/CrossPoint Reader) that I love. But I wanted a more premium device that could do note taking, as well. Unfortunately, this is not a mature product. Let me start with the good things. I really liked how the included pen felt in the hand. It felt good writing, as well. It was akin to writing on a piece of slate with a pencil. I assume this feel would smooth out a bit as the tip broke in. But overall, there was good tactile feedback between the texture of the screen and the pen tip. The screen was responsive and the settings on the device allowed you to decide what compromise you wanted to make between screen refresh rate and ghosting (a common problem with eInk displays). I appreciated that flexibility. I also really liked the ability to drop ebooks, audiobooks and other documents on the device using its built-in BooxDrop application. I didn't want to tie myself to a cloud service to get files onto the device. BooxDrop gives you a nice web-based file manager that you can connect to from a desktop, then manage the files on the device. File format support is also great. I have a lot of DRM-free EPUBs and PDFs. I also occasionally read a comic book. So, CBR/CBZ support was a nice plus (although not a deal-breaker). All formats can be marked up, as well. But there are three things that forced me to return the device: Firstly, the palm rejection is really bad. Laughably so. When I was taking notes, it would jump all over the place, register taps that didn't happen, etc. The "workaround" is to turn off all touch functionality when note taking. As I understand it, this is a problem across all BOOX note taking devices. That's unacceptable. Second is battery life. Because the background of the screen is a medium gray, it's hard to read black text if you aren't in a very bright room if you don't use the backlight. If you use the backlight, you're compromising battery life. I will admit that I managed to tweak it enough to show 16 hours of battery life after a full charge. But that was with the backlight turned up just enough to make reading tolerable. But since my goal with an eReader is to avoid eye strain, this problem ran counter to that goal. The third issue is the color saturation. I didn't expect vibrant colors like you would have with an OLED screen, obviously. But this tablet seems to have particularly poor color saturation for this class of device. So, I'm returning the device. It's unlikely I'll purchase another BOOX device because of the palm rejection problem. 2/5. Would not recommend. ... show more

Good buy good bank for your buck.
Overall I love my Boox note Air5C. As a new user the learning curve is huge, and was a bit frustrating. I re-watched YouTube to help and I love it. The pen stylist writes well but the top does not stay on and it does not adhere well and the bottom extra tips are easy to fall out. Colors look good quick and snappy on speed battery life is very quick depending on how you use it. I seem to drain fast after a few hours of use. It writes well feels like paper, I was not expecting it to have as much wait as it does don’t let the thin size fool you it is heavy making the standing case beneficial. I am still glad I purchased it. Though I am concerned about loosing the pen. Either way still a great device. So much to offer. Benefits of a tablet with limited interruptions. ... show more
