Comment on The Full Story of BOOX: How a Chinese Startup Revolutionized the Global E-Reader Market
cm0002@lemdro.id 19 hours agoSimilarly to @dg2445@sh.itjust.works I use their digital notebook. A Boox Note Air (1st gen) and it’s been really solid. They use android heavily so I’m not bound to their app store which I like.
Case selection, for my model at least, sucks

The fact that it uses Android is what draws me to it, bc I know I can side load whatever I want onto it. Thank you!

Yes. Boox is nice, if you want it for adding Android apps.
I side load on mine a great deal.
Fast things like games and movies don’t play nice with the slow eInk screen.
But board games, puzzle games, digital comics, and simple websites all work great.
I was surprised that background processes do fine, with some patience. I have something running to back up my notes to my NAS.
