In theory, a device with an E Ink display should have insane battery life. The dreamīefore we get into the specifics of the Onyx Boox Air, let’s talk about these use cases.
#ONYX BOOX NOTE AIR COLOR ANDROID#
Though, as we’ll see in a moment, not every Android app that runs is compatible with the E ink display. You can run regular Android apps, opening the door to a number of use cases that feature-specific e-readers like the reMarkable, Kindle, and Sony’s Digital Paper, just don’t offer. Unlike the reMarkable 2, the Note Air runs a modified version of Android 10, which is why it first caught my attention. This 10.3-inch display has found its way into the reMarkable 2 tablet that Ray Wong, our reviews editor, wrote about back in November, and it’s the display that powers the Onyx Boox Note Air that we’re talking about today. E Ink is a brand, and its 10.3-inch Carta displays are finally making their way into consumer electronics. Perhaps most importantly is the E Ink display technology itself. Right now we have to choose between paperback-sized e-readers like the Kindle or the Kobo and full-blown tablets like the iPad or the Galaxy Tab S7, but technical-book-sized E Ink readers either haven’t been available or have been so absurdly priced that they haven’t really reached the mainstream. What I lacked then, and what we still kind of lack now, is an E Ink platform for textbooks. If it weren’t for older editions and crudely scanned textbook PDFs, I literally would not have been able to study along with my fellow students. I could hardly buy food, let alone books. Like 17-dollars-in-my-bank-account broke.
