Great price for a relatively new ebook reader.
Second gen running Android 13, making it possible to side load apps such as kindle and kobo. More details at this review
Be aware quite a few folk find e-ink colour screens a bit dark and grey.
CamelCamelCamel.
The official Boox site has a free case and some accessories.
*correction, wacom emr is the same thing, was meant to be "no idea how this device compares with the Wacom later"
Seems that this device uses usi 2.0 according to the Reddits so your mileage will vary if trying to get a 3rd party stylus https://www.reddit.com/r/Onyx_Boox/s/rGs2d6luOT
"To use Libby, simply install it from the Google Play Store, sign in with your library card, and start borrowing digital content." ChatGPT
Is that correct? I'm a bit nervous because the libraries I want to borrow from only mention Kobo, and Libby is my primary purpose.
Its correct, its the stock android version of Libby. I use it on a boox note air 3c.
but it does run exactly like the android version of libby, rather then the native book interface of the kobo….the animations do get annoying
Haven't used Libby, but do you have another Android phone or tablet? You can try download Libby on that and see if it works the way you expect and Boox should work the same way.
I put the app on a phone and borrowed a magazine. I can go to all the stories in the magazine by swiping left or right but not directly. The story links in the table of contents don't do anything. They do on a desktop. Is that how it's supposed to work on a phone? Is that how it works on a Boox?
Might depend on the magazine if its formatted and indexed properly, can't comment on that particular magazine you've used on the desktop vs mobile however.
Just tested it with the newyorker on the libby app within boox and can access the table of contents, click through to the article concerned using the toc similar workflow mentioned
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMErl9oEXvU is pretty much similar to the user experience of the libby app on a boox. just it would be smaller with a go 7.
@l4nn13: I actually spent over an hour trying to calibrate the Libby app, which has a page-turn animation that literally hurt to look at with the default settings.

That's from a review of the monochrome version.
@shaybisc: Although ChatGPT doesn't think it will be difficult, using its step-by-step instructions.
429 now
$351.20 for me. Are you signed in, with a Prime account?
seeing 429 too, but I do not have Prime.
All other Prime Day deals show up without a subscription though, so not sure if that's a factor.
I signed up for Prime and the price changed from $429 to $351

Great find! Considering its 280 usd (sans shipping) from boox hk.
Also one of the very few remaining ereaders left that can support a microsd card too.
Although it does run android, do temper your expectations as the refresh rate is as you would expect with a eink reader and the 4096 colors is left to be desired for some apps (Reddit comes to mind) and b&w text does look duller comparative to its b&w cousin or a kindle paperwhite
And for those intend to use it for note taking with OneNote, the MS OneNote app with android on this is horrid comparative to the native note taking app boox provides, no idea how EMR compares with the Wacom layer that's on the Boox Note series, but I would imagine would be similar.
Will all depend on your use case.
