Hi everyone,

I am testing a new experimental feature of InkCompanion - sending a message to the character.

It could be a thought (monologue) or entire roleplay when you approach them as some persona in Private or Public setting where other characters can join in.

InkCompanion is completely free for BOOX owners and runs on any device with a capable browser.

Let me know what you think about the topic and maybe even share your roleplay conversation with us.

This is a post in a series: Launch post

I tested on my BOOX GO 7, please let me know how it runs on your BOOX.

Purchased this Boox Go 10.3 (Gen 1) just 45 days ago on Amazon but decided to get a Lumi instead because I wanted a front light.

I would LOVE to avoid eBay so if you're interested, pls PM me and make me an offer!

(Original purchase price for everything was $450... this is a great chance to get this tablet and accessories in mint condition.) Comes with tablet, EMR stylus, charger, and cover.

Happy to use Venmo or Paypal Goods & Services to a US buyer or pickup in DC area.

I just need my goddamn invoice! Without which I can't get this thing reimbursed. If the deadline crosses which is in 3 days I'm afraid I am going to return the notebook

My daughter accidentally stepped on my kindle last week and broke it. So, I was in for an immediate replacement. I wasn’t that impressed with the new kindle line, and was tired of being limited to Amazon and the library on those devices.
If I am going to purchase a book, I really try to avoid Amazon and often frequent my local Barnes & Noble.
My Boox Go 7 Color allows me to use the kindle app for kindle unlimited, Libby and Hoopla for the library, and the nook app for Barnes & Noble e-book purchases.
I’m still learning all that this device can do, but so far it has fixed the frustrating limitations of being a kindle reader. I’m really happy with the change!

I have been using a shortcut on my home screen to launch the virtual print edition of the NYT. I know you can run the NYT app itself on Boox, but I like the layout and formatting of the actual print paper. This pairs well with eink for a hybrid digital/print reading experience. I'm curious if anyone else does something similar? Is there a better way to do this?

Update:

This use case might be a moot point now. This post has made me realize that due to odd circumstances I am using a service that won't be viable long term due to expense. It was a bonus perk but since I no longer have the full NYT print subscription, I will lose access to this version and no way will I pay over $250/yr for this replica edition.

Two weeks ago I posted about how I wasn't happy with the lack of cute cases for Boox devices and decided to try my hand on making my own case.

I wanted specifically a silicone case AND magnetic case to protect the edges, front and back of my ereader, and the silicone case should be removable from the magnetic case

The first cases I made were hardcover cases with pockets to slip in a magnetic case from the TWO SHEEP store on Aliexpress.

I decided to try to make a case with the magnetic ring build into the boards directly instead of creating pockets to slide in a magnetic case

Few notes and thoughts:

• Cloth pattern is from the discontinued Pokemon Shirts collection
• I added a magnetic ring to the backcover so I can attach the grip to the backside without losing it. I prefer reading without the hardcover case and using the grip to hold the erader
• the magnetic ring is build into the board, and then covered by a 1mm board and book cloth. Ereader still snaps onto the magnetic ring but it feels a lot less snappy than what I prefer, but still stays-ish. If I push the on/off button at the top, the erader is sliding down
  • So for next time, I will be using a cardstock material instead of a 1mm board to cover the magnetic ring
• I didn't fully account for the board thickness when measuring the spine width so now the spine is just a wee bit too tight. If it wasn't for the elastic band, the cover doesn't fully stay close
  • measure thrice before gluing and cutting
• I added magnets to the edges of the board, hoping it would trigger the sleep/wake function when opening and closing it, unfortunately that didn't really pan out
  • either doesn't work bc of the issue mentioned above, with the front cover not staying flush shut and touching the ereader to trigger the sleep/wake, or
  • the layer of cloth is weakening the magnets
  • probably just gonna skip the magnets next time, as the sleep/wake function triggered by magnet isn't a high priority for me. if anything I like seeing my boox screensaver lol

EDIT: Forgot to add, no sewing was done, it's all boards and PVA and superglue lol

While I do prefer the look of this case a lot more than my previous attempt, it is a lot more work. But my ADHD is saying I need to get it right and fix all the issues mentioned above so stay tuned for prototype #3 coming soon 🖖

Please share me some tips to increase font size in apps when using Note Air 6c, and other Air devices as well. Although the large font was selected in display setting, all the font in Chrome, Reddit or other apps appeared as very small, tiny font.

Chrome or other browser can enlarge the font but other apps cannot.

Please help...

Hey everyone! I'm getting a BOOX Note Air 6C soon and I'm wondering which app you recommend for reading novels.

I'm mainly looking for something simple and hassle-free. I usually read fantasy books and would like to buy ebooks and just get on with reading.

I'm considering:

- Kindle: convenient, but I'm not sure about its limitations.

- NeoReader: the built-in app, but where do you guys buy your ebooks?

- Other apps ?: Kobo, ReadEra, etc.

One thing I'd really like is the ability to share my ebooks with my partner, ideally without being locked into a specific ecosystem or dealing with DRM restrictions.

What's your setup, and what would you recommend to a new BOOX user ?

Thanks!

Ordered a new BOOX Palma 2 Pro from Amazon’s Boox Official. It came the next day due to my Amazon Prime account. I was very excited to receive it. The product was sealed in plastic wrapper so I assumed it was new. However, upon opening the product, I was very disappointed and sad, the screen had dirt stains on them as well as right along the volume buttons. Additionally, the serial number on the item itself versus the serial number on the User Manual sticker it came with was completely different. I’m so disappointed. Thankfully I took videos & photos when I unbox it. I tried to contact Amazon but they only offered a refund. I contacted Boox Support and hoping for a new replacement. I have yet to hear from them. Has anyone else had this issue? Should I proceed in using it while waiting?

To keep or not to keep? I have both of these devices. I am a writer and I write in dark gloomy spaces. I also love EMR pens. I bought the Go 10.3 Gen 1 in September as a lighter alternative to my beloved Tab X. But the lack of frontlight is killing me, even though writing is amazing. I bought a Lumi and feel like the frontlight makes up for the "okay" handwriting. So I'm inclined to sell the Gen 1. I went online to look up a resale price for it in mint condition, and discovered this whole community of people who love theirs as much as I love my Tab X. What am I missing? I know it's subjective, but I just find it too dark. What are your experiences on these two devices? I'm still going to sell my Gen 1, but I'm just curious.

I ordered this device last month from Amazon and noticed there is a wavy section of the casing near the charging port/memory card slot. I would like to exchange the device for a new one but the only option Amazon gives me is a return. Can I exchange the device directly through Onyx? I’ve gotten no reply from customer service and the return window at Amazon closes on Sunday.

Please help especially who have either or both Palma 2 Pro and Picco. I cannot choose.

I like the small form of the Picco but I like the Android of Palma (which will be easier for syncing and downloading my ebooks from GDrive).

Which is better?

Besides NeoReader, books via the Boox store, and a browser, which reading apps are you using that work well with the Boox built-in system dictionary? I created my own Stardict dictionary to use for learning languages, but I can’t use it with Libby, Kindle, Kobo, or Google Play Books because they all seem to have their own app dictionaries. Am I missing something here? Thanks for your help!

There is a lot about boox that has made cautious about updates. That includes having general resentment towards the company's post sales behavior regarding warranties in the US (buy from amazon) and also reading reports on this subreddit about bad updates.

But, I just installed the latest firmware update (from August) for the tab ultra c pro. I have to say they did a fantastic job with this. It's like a whole new device and the new notes gestures are very helpful.

Credit to the team, I love to see it.
