BOOX Tablet Note Air 4C 6G 64G E Ink Tablet Color ePaper Notebook

I love this device. It's replaced my iPad and my Kindle device. I take notes for work on it using OneNote. There is a learning curve if you're not an android user, but it's worth it IMO.

I bought this as a replacement for the Viwoods AiPaper which I felt had too many issues as an e-Ink tablet. This device seems far better for my needs, but first the negatives …The stylus that comes with this tablet does not have an eraser and the tablet is a bit on the heavy side compared to some of its competition although that may be the result of the front light which was not on the much lighter Boox Go 10.3. Since I do a lot of my reading lying down and holding an ebook device in one hand the weight is a real issue for me. On the other hand the device is perfect for 2 handed reading. Startup time from powered off takes almost 30 seconds, although that seems to be true for other e-Ink tablets I have tried. That is about it as far as I can tell. The list of positives is much longer.My device came with Android 13, which is highly configurable on this device, and has the Google Play Store pre-installed. It also comes with a variety of tools including a clock, a calendar, a recorder, an AI Assistant (which I have not tested), a very nice highly configurable ebook reader and other basic tools, but installing apps like file manager or 3rd party ebook readers is simplicity itself with the Play Store. The display is color, although muted, has a resolution of 2480 x 1860 and the text is clear and easy to read. The built-in Boox NeoReader, which support annotation, allows so much customization that I have not been able to go through all of the settings yet although, for some reason, there is not an icon on the tablet to call the editor and I have to use the File Manager “open with” functionality to use it. The device supports a physical keyboard and mouse, and a micro-sd card up to 2TB, although it is hard to see why so much storage is needed in an ebook reader.One more thing. As I mentioned earlier the included stylus does not have an eraser but the tablet writing menu has an eraser function so you can erase annotations without an eraser on the stylus. All you have to do is select the erase function and touch the annotation you wish erased.All in all this is a very nice e-Ink tablet and aside from the weight is just abut perfect.

This was not a good experience and I returned the tablet. It was very awkward to use. Nothing is intuitive in the presentation of screens and options. This is what had been described to me as a steep learning curve, but I thought I was surely up to it. I am not. I was never sure what screen was going to appear, and was constantly going back to Home to try to get back on course. But, worse, the response time to gestures was so slow I was touching and retouching the screen, using pen or fingers, over and over. The video quality was awful, with flickering and broken images. The audio level is very low unless earphones are used. The screen ghosts the images from previous screens, sometimes more than one, layered behind the open display, even when I had set the options to refresh after each touch. Color images are what I would describe as chalky. I've seen color on other paper-type tablets so expected some compromises. This rendering was not acceptable, however.The Bluetooth pairing did work well, and was the basis of my opting for this tablet over others, because I could use my Bluetooth keyboard rather than purchasing a costly dedicated one as required for the ReMarkable tablet. The device feels solid in the hand, and is handsome in appearance. That's pretty faint praise, but I was looking for something good to say. I quickly grew to loathe the wake-up screen.I am thankful I ordered it from Amazon where returns are easy. This one is not for me.

Wonderful product to increase productivity. As some one who has to read and comment of multiple PDF files a day the environmental toll of printing and the eye strain from having to stare at a screen were both killing me. Then here comes this product. It does everything I need it and more. It's access to the Play Store means that I can get my emails on it and many other things. It is a toll for increased productivity and I am glad I got it!

This is the perfect e-ink tablet for me in 2025. It's color, reasonably fast, and supports all Android apps available through the Google Play Store: Amazon Kindle, Libby, Google Chrome, Thunderbird, and ChatGPT. It even includes a decent "kids mode" that is easier to use (simpler) than Google Family Link so you can hand it to your kids to read color comics.To be clear, the colors are muted. But you probably already know this. Hopefully e-ink continues to improve.
