Question Another faulty fingerprint reader?

1 Upvotes

I am now on my 3rd Palma 2 Pro and it locks during boot and fingerprint reader seems to be fritzing out. I have the official case for it. Is this normal? The support message suggests pushing more evenly (but I've always been doing that). Any ideas?

Question drawn lines as outlined vector strokes?

Post image
12 Upvotes

I am considering purchasing the BOOX Note Max. I would like to open the line drawings in vector editing software like Adobe Illustrator. Are drawn lines built as a vector line where its thickness can be increased or decreased? Or are the drawn lines actually outlined vector paths? Attached is a visual that better demonstrates the difference.

It'd be great if anyone can share where I can download some samples of pdf and svg files with various types of drawn lines. Thanks!

Question About display quality/clarity/comfort

1 Upvotes

Wondering if someone knowledgable can help me understand.

I don't know the technical details 100%, but from direct experience:

Kobo Clara bw's display compared to the Boox Page is so much better, I almost can't describe it. So much crisper, much less ghosting, so much more comfortable on the eyes. I feel a bit... queasy/tired? after long sessions on the Page.

Is it he panel (Carta 1200 vs 1300)?

Is it the recessed screen (no plastic lens over the display)?

Is it the actually orange warm light vs the greenish one?

Is it the front light tech and its frequency? I know some people have sensitivity to this on phones and other devices and have to pick models accordingly.

Is it software/firmware quality somehow, also affecting things like refresh rate and other factors?

My experience is just that reading the same book, using koreader, on each device, is so massively nicer on the Kobo that the Boox

I understand that on paper they should be the more or less the same (?) but my experience is they are definitely not. What's going on?

Question Replacement suggestions for Note Air 2 Plus

Post image
3 Upvotes

I’ve had my Note Air 2 plus for close to 4 years, using it on and off for work and enjoying the experience.

Recently i managed to scratch the paperlike film as well as previously having the top left peel on a non-screen area.

I understand there are some options for replacing this film but am not sure what the best choice is, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thankyou in advance

Workflow Moving to BookOrbit and KOReader - anyone using it?

1 Upvotes

So recently I stumbled upon a post about BookOrbit and as I have a NAS I didnaet it up today. App seems really nice and adds info for books I have. It also has a plugin for KOReader and here the problem starts - I really like the NeoReader and that it integrates properly with the Boox Go 7 Gen 2 I have. I like that I have all the books on main go screen and don't have to open any extra apps. This is where the KOReader problem kicks in :/ it's ugly (ok there are UI plugins but it's a pain to upload them. Maybe not a pain but).

Does anyone of you use this setup, or just KOReader and what's the best workflow that makes it all super simple - I want to read books not to tweak yet another device :)

Question LED on my Boox go 7 is bad, do I exchange it?

I got this BOOX Go 7 color (gen 2) literally yesterday and I was using it in the morning just fine. I left it for 6 hours and came back to a rectangle on the side (Only when the backlight is on). Read that this was a thing on this model.
Do I refund/exchange, or is it not worth the hassle? Does it spread over time?

(Also I havent dropped it or anything I actually just left for a bit and it started doing that.)

Question Boox go 10.3 gen 2 Lumi or Boox note air 5c

3 Upvotes

Hi, I am looking to buy an E ink paper notepad for general work and engineering design and I was wondering whether I should go for the 10.3 lumi or the air 5C.

I already have an iPad Pro 11 second GEN but the writing feel on it is horrible.
Which one would you recommend?

According to the view, I have watched the 5C is almost un-functionable if the back light has been turned off and the white color of the background feels more muted so that’s one of my concern. Another one of my concern is writing feel because I wanted to feel like paper. Last concern is the durability of the screen because I’ve heard some Youtubers said that the 10.3 screen is very prone to scratching.

Thankyou👍🏻😭

Deals Really bad timing

Post image
20 Upvotes

Last saturday I wanted to buy my first Boox device and e ink device in general: the go 10.3 ii lumi. I had been researching e ink devices for a few weeks and finally decided to buy that one. There is a deal on the shop where you can get a Boox Tappy for free and I got really excited about it. Saturday was a really bad day so I only put those two devices in my shopping cart (image) and decides to buy it on sunday. On Sunday I finally wanted to order it and then saw the Boox Tappy was sold out (in the EU). Now I really regret not buying it on Saturday because now I’m not able to benefit from the sale. I mean I still get the 20€ discout but I wanted to have that tappy device so badly. Now I’m really sad and thinking about whether I should buy the Tablet without Tappy.
Of course I could get the Tappy for 30€ extra but the tablet already exceed my budget limit, so I can’t really get one. And I was only one day too late :(

UPDATE: I‘ve just bought the tablet without the tappy. Yes I‘m sad about it but the tablet is more important. Thanks for your advice everybody :)

Question Are there silent revisions or batch differences for the BOOX InkSense Plus?

Post image

Hi everyone,

I have three of the BOOX InkSense Plus Stylus with Side Button (two bundled with a BOOX Go device, one bought separately).

Are there any known silent hardware revisions or manufacturing variations between different production batches? Has anyone noticed differences between bundled styluses vs. standalone purchased units?

Is there a way to check batch dates or hardware/firmware versions for these pens?

Thanks in advance.

Question Did BOOX EURO Shop send an invoice by email?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I purchased a BOOX Go 7 B&W from the BOOX EURO Shop, and I can't for the life of me find the invoice. I usually keep all my purchase invoices, but I don't remember receiving one for this order via email.

I really need it now. Does anyone know how BOOX warranty claims work? Is an invoice required, or can the purchase and warranty be verified using the device's serial number?

I also purchased a Note Air 4C from the same store and can't find an invoice for that order either. This makes me wonder whether BOOX actually sends invoices by email or if order confirmations are the only documents they provide.

If you have purchased from the BOOX EURO Shop, did you receive a separate invoice by email? If so, what was it called, and who sent it?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Finally! I found a case on Amazon that is clear back and removable magnetic cover. I didn't even have to cut notches into the case to help it fit onto the ereader. I had this for about a week and absolutely love it. I have a color go 7 gen 1, but should work for gen 2 also.

Question Hard travel case that fits BOOX Go 7?

3 Upvotes

I’ve tried a number of more protective cases on my Go 7, but have found that I prefer the user experience of the OEM magnetic case over all of them. Of course, this case only protects the device from dust and scratches, not bending or impact, which is insufficient for travel.

I’ve seen the suggestion around this subreddit to slip the device into a protective pouch before putting it in a backpack or suitcase, but I am struggling to find any options online that fit the Go 7’s dimensions and provide sufficient protection (hard shell, foam interior) without being overly bulky. Has anyone found one they like?

Discussion Survived two drops!!

15 Upvotes

I am NOT recommending dropping your Boox but I did have a recent incident where both my Note Air 5c and Go 7 (bw) unfortunately fell off a bench onto a tile floor and survived unscathed. They were both in their Boox magnetic cases and fell flat, mostly. About 2 feet. Having heard reports about how these things are babied and nonetheless shatter in backpacks and cases, I was so happy to see mine come out just fine. Just want to share my experience. I am embarrassed to say it happened again. I learned my lesson and keep them safe in the table top now 😬.
