Patreon-exclusive video: Onyx Boox Note Air 3C Unboxing
🕑 Added 2024-04-13 19:17:38 +0000 UTCTwo months ago, I bought a reMarkable 2 on a whim (unboxing video here) and while the onboarding experience wasn't the best, it DID whet my appetite for e-ink tablets in general. After that video and just talking about e-ink tablets a bit more, I unfortunately heard of another e-ink tablet that made me immediately regret buying the reMarkable... and of course I ended up buying that one too.
That tablet is the Onyx Boox Note Air 3C. It caught my attention for two reasons:
1. It's a colour e-ink tablet, which is something I've not tried before.
2. It runs on a version of Android, which means there are a lot of apps you can install on it.
In this video, I unbox the Note Air 3C and give you my first impressions. I wanted to give you the full experience of the onboarding experience, which wasn't the best. However, I do want to say that in the month since I recorded this video, it's quickly replaced both my Kindle Scribe and my reMarkable 2 as my primary (only) e-ink tablet. I'm still using it heavily. The fact that I can install apps like Reader, Obsidian, Dropbox, Kobo, and Kindle make it the best reader for me, even while it provides a solid writing experience.
Maybe a more nuanced review to come on this when I feel I've used it enough!
Happy weekend!

Can you suggest a method for synchronizing or merging handwritten notes from a Boox device with Obsidian?

I get that. It's definitely not the most intuitive, and I (as you can see) struggled to get it to do what I wanted. I do think it's worth a look, though. Under the clunky UI IS something that's valuable. I'll let you know if I still feel that way after a few months!

I was wondering abou this but your video makes it clear its not a device i would want to buy either.
