Fantastic device, only OK native ereader app
5 out of 5 stars
Fantastic device, only OK native ereader app
Had the device for a week, been reading a lot. It's an all around fantastic device. Good user controls, easy setup and navigation, crisp screen image, responsive and reliable screen (Note: I don't use the stylus). I've installed a few sideloaded apps, and a couple Lite apps from Google Play, each worked well. I have very little to complain about...Pros (mostly obvious):- Battery life is awesome while just reading eBooks (maybe lose 5% a day), not sure about with other use.- High res screen is definitely nicer than my gen3 Kindle Keyboard, which was a-okay too.- Running Android opens up a word of possibilities for modifying and troubleshooting the device, vs more closed source proprietary eReader OSes (Note: I've had no OS issues myself).- Ability to read any pretty much any format or branding of eBook is a massive benefit (some only via 3rd party app, but still can be read; library book, kindle books, google play, kobo, you name it, a BOOX device can probably can handle it)!Con (so far):- Built in book reader (Neo Reader?) is not 100% functional: I've had it crash a couple times, reading a very basic ePub; It doesn't appear to display Horizontal Rules (a basic HTML Tag, often used for scene breaks); It's added or removed pagebreaks a couple of times, where it shouldn't have; And It also occasionally and randomly left-aligns chapter headers (centered h3 tags) and center aligns a paragraph here or there (often with extra padding above and below, like it's a chapter heading), even though the eBooks native CSS and the readers formatting are set to 'justify with indent', no paragraph spacing, and padding for centered chapter headings. The formatting glitches are a really strange error, the eBook HTML and CSS code is all correct, and closing and reopening the eBook in the BOOX native reading app fixes the errors, every time (see attached photos for an examples)!People have suggested installing and using Moon+ Reader or FBReader and setting them as default readers for whatever file formats are appropriate, and I'll probably switch to Moon+ Reader eventually myself. I own the Pro version of the app, and have used it on my phones and tablets for many years. Doing so should remedy the weird formatting glitches, as well as provide other resources and options. But for now I'm still gonna test out the built in a reader for a bit longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect but tops others
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
I love this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not perfect, but it still gets 5 stars from me because I’ve tried so many devices and this is by far my favorite. I wanted a device that I could use to take notes primarily. Being able to get my kindle books, WSJ and local paper are bonuses that I enjoy.

I tried reMarkable. It has a cult following and is supposedly the best note taker out there. I didn’t agree. It’s too big. I take notes in executive meeting, the Nova Pro is the size of the Moleskine notebooks I used, much more comfortable for me. The pen is white... mine was so gross so fast. I wash my hands constantly, but apparently not enough. Eww. It also has no other functionality. This is by design, trying to keep people focused, but that isn't really a concern of mine. I'm not that easily distracted.

I tried a Likebook Muses. This seemed to have it all, too, but the 1st one never turned on and the 2nd froze so often I had to bring a notebook as a backup. It was early so they might improve but I’m not patient enough to wait around

Some of the things I love about the Boox Nova Pro:
- the pen has an eraser function when you flip it. It’s like a real pencil
- the feel is great to me. The reMarkable definitely had that scratchy pencil feel which was really cool, but I’ve found writing on my Nova Pro to be very comfortable and natural.
- the glare is minimal. I couldn't see using an iPad for that reason. I love my kindle honestly if Amazon came out with a kindle I could take notes on, I would buy it immediately
- shapes and lines are nice to use every now and then in notes and look way better than if I drew them myself. the reMarkable didn't have this ability, which I didn't think I needed, but love now that I have it
- it is extremely easy to add new templates. I like more narrow lines than they had built in, so I made a quick template in ppt and uploaded it as a pdf. I found a final season Game of Thrones death pool, so I uploaded it and documented my guesses
- when I have an agenda or document I want to take notes on, I’ve found that I prefer to upload it into my template folder and use it in a notebook. This helps me keep everything in the notes app, which I use the most

Some of the not so great things:
- Apps lag, but it’s not their fault. Apps aren’t made for eInk yet. It takes a lot of tweaking to get the kindle working but it works. Not ideal, but since my priority was notes, I don't mind that much and still use them
- the case is separate. Makes this a more expensive option but it’s worth getting. I would definitely lose the pen if I didn't have the case
- I can’t personalize the home screen. The home screen is the library, but I’d much rather it show my most recently used notes and apps. I don't have a lot of documents in my library, but I would imagine someone annotating a lot of PDFs may.
- the writing to text converts my handwriting ok, but in such a mess that I don’t bother. It doesn’t recognize line spacing so everything is jumbled together

I definitely haven’t tried everything it can do, but I enjoy it. If you're considering a note taking device, I really think this one is the best value

4.0 out of 5 stars A great eReader, and a note taking device with great PDF support.
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2019

If you are looking for an eReader that has a good PDF support, look no further. Boox native reader is the best PDF support in class. It is also very light, pretty easy to hold. Note taking is excellence, very responsive.

Since it is an android device (6.0), it supports all kind of eReader, including Kindle, Libby (aka OverDrive), pdf, comic, epub, etc. All you need is enable Google Play store and install the app that you needed. The default eReader comes with the device is one of the best. Flexible and easy to use and responsive. However, the performance of third-party readers is sluggish. Turn page is not responsive. Sometimes I have to try multiple time to get a page to turn. It could be the optimization issue of the third-party software with the device touch screen. The page get reflash often in normal mode, and a lot better in A2 mode. It is an acceptable residue. In the web browser, you can not adjust contrast, the content is somewhat difficult to read.

Overall, I am not impressed with the performance of the device. Since my main source of books are Kindle and Libby, I do need to use third-party apps. The experience is not good. I suggest you go with a good old 8" android pad, unless you want the eInk then, this is the one for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to like this...

I've been searching for an eInk device that I can use to comfortably read eBooks and PDFs and that would allow me to use a stylus to mark up my readings (highlighting, notes in margins, etc). This device is the best I've found but still does not quite meet my needs. I ordered it after trying reMarkable and finding the PDF reading capabilities severely lacking.

Pros: Love the size, I can fairly comfortably read a full-page PDF on this device, although the zooming features work adequately well that it's relatively painless to zoom if needed. Perfect for reading Ebooks in landscape mode. You can doodle all over PDFs to your heart's content, then save your results as a new PDF for easy export and review on other devices. Love the front-light with separate warm and cool lighting options.

Cons: Not Adobe DRM enabled, therefore cannot read borrowed library books on this device with the native reader app. You can install Kindle or other apps for this purpose, however I found the Kindle app to be annoyingly buggy on this device (as in, it's hard to get the page to turn reliably--super frustrating). Cannot highlight using the stylus on the PDF reader--you can only draw lines of varying thickness. You CAN highlight PDFs using your finger but this is imprecise and clunky. You cannot write in book margins with the native reader app (not sure any device but reMarkable allows this), and although there is a Sidenote feature you can sort of use for this purpose, I found that this is basically just a blank note page opened next to but not in any way associated with the reading field, and that whatever you write in side note does not get associated in any particular way with the text you were reading at the time of writing that note. This is not what I was expecting.

The writing on this device is OK-ish; better than on my Surface Pro but not anywhere near as good as on reMarkable in terms of accuracy, responsiveness, and feel.

Overall, doesn't meet my needs well enough to justify pricetag. Have finally decided to go with the most basic version of iPad gen 6 + apple pen, as when purchased on sale this is a similar price point and will do all the things I need it to do for reading and annotating in a much more flexible way. Now if only it had an eInk screen for more comfortable reading, I'd be all set. I'm afraid the perfect device for my purposes has yet to be invented.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastico (se fa per voi)
Reviewed in Italy on December 20, 2019
Verified Purchase
L'e-reader è sicuramente di buona qualità, molto leggero e compatto, uno dei pochissimi con il pennino.
In tre mesi di utilizzo non ho mai avuto problemi di alcun tipo, lo uso all'università più o meno tutto il giorno e con una carica completa riesce a fare 4-5 giorni effettivi di utilizzo senza problemi; durante l'uso in Wi-Fi la batteria si scarica molto più velocemente quindi consiglio di usarlo solo quando serve. La possibilità di poter regolare la retroilluminazione dei led caldi e freddi in modo indipendente è una caratteristica pressoché unica e molto piacevole perché permette di adattarsi al meglio alle condizioni di luce ambientali, personalmente l'ho usata poco ma quelle poche volte mi ha decisamente stupito.

Con 8" di schermo funziona bene se si vuole prendere solo qualche appunto e/o sottolineare/annotare sui pdf, mentre se volete un sostituto per il quaderno si dovrebbe scegliere con almeno 10" di schermo. Il dispositivo permette comunque di leggere tranquillamente senza problemi anche i pdf in formato A4, senza affaticare la vista.

Il 90% dei difetti del prodotto sono quelli comuni a tutti gli e-reader: bassa frequenza d'aggiornamento dello schermo e ci si può pressapoco solo leggere e scrivere. Anche se il sistema operativo Android permette di installare teoricamente ogni app compatibile con il sistema operativo, nella pratica nessuna è ottimizzata per questo tipo di schermo per cui diventano praticamente inutilizzabili; io ho installato soltanto Google Chrome e Drive che uso in modo occasionale per la condivisione dei file; le app di note di terze parti come OneNote, Google Keep e simili funzionano veramente male sul dispositivo.

Un problema che ho riscontrato, ma dal lato software, quindi probabilmente risolvibile con aggiornamenti futuri, è la scarsissima qualità delle note e degli appunti nei pdf quando vengono esportati, veramente molto pixelosi; mentre se si apre il file dal dispositivo il problema non si presenta.

Questo e-reader comunque resta il più economico con il pennino, appositamente pensato per chi ha bisogno di prendere appunti su pdf, io lo uso sulle slides dei corsi universitari e mi ha già salvato centinaia e centinaia di fotocopie. Il pennino poi funziona senza batteria ed è di marca Wacom, quindi una garanzia. Occorre comprare i ricambi della punta del pennino perché questa si consuma con l'uso, ma si tratta di una spesa irrisoria: con 15€ si acquistano 5 punte, e io sto tranquillissimamente ancora usando quella originale dopo 3 mesi di uso intensivo. È veramente molto leggero e può essere messo nello zaino/borsa senza appesantirla troppo, che non è male se ci si porta dietro anche quaderni o altro.

TL, DR: Fantastico e inimitabile se serve a sostituire slides, documenti da stampare e da scriverci sopra, pessimo per più o meno tutto il resto. Quindi occhio a cosa vi serve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Plus qu'une liseuse
Reviewed in France on August 28, 2019
Verified Purchase
J'ai utilisé en 10 ans une dizaine de liseuses de marques différentes, dont une sur android : la Nova Boox pro va plus loin grâce à :
- un processeur rapide - tourner les pages d'un PDF ou d'une bande dessinée n'est plus une corvée
- une fonction prise de note tout à fait utilisable et synchronisable avec onenote
- de manière générale des applications système très bien pensées et personnalisables. C'est un excellent outil de travail.
De plus, la liseuse est mise à jour régulièrement, et la dernière mise à jour apporte un grand nombre d'améliorations.
A savoir :
- malgré le prix, il ne fait toujours pas s'attendre à avoir un Ipad. C'est avant tout un outil de lecture et de prise de note.
- Les applications système (le nova reader, la prise de note) fonctionneront toujours mieux que les applications sideloadées, c'est normal. Cependant j'utilise quelques applications (lingvo live, koreader) et elles sont tout à fait utilisables.
C'est de loin la meilleure liseuse que j'aie eue entre les mains (je sors d'un inkpad 3), et je la recommande pour ceux qui utilisent les dictionnaires, la prise de note, des formats variés, et aiment personnaliser leur appareil. Si en revanche vous souhaitez simplement lire des romans en epub sans les annoter, toute liseuse 7,8 pouces fera l'affaire.
Reste à savoir si elle est solide : le gros défaut des liseuses est la fragilité de leur écran. La surcouche en verre bord à bord liée au stylet wacom semble à première vue plus solide que des écrans eink ultra fins auxquels j'étais habituée : à voir dans le temps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toller Reader
Reviewed in Germany on June 7, 2019

Ich habe nach einer Alternative zu den beiden Readern (von der Telekom oder hier) auf dem deutschen Markt gesucht. Ich bin begeistert von meiner Wahl. Das Format ist Klasse, das Material fühlt sich gut an. Ich kann mir mit dem Stift Notizen anlegen. Ich habe die Tolino App installiert und damit Zugriff auf die Cloud mit meinen Büchern. Auch ein Sudoku Handwriting aus dem Play Store konnte installiert werden. ... und zeichnen wie mit einem Bleitift geht auch.
Der Anfang war etwas stressig, da alles auf japanisch eingerichtet war. Mit etwas Geduld kriegt man das aber hin.
Der Preis ist auf jeden Fall gerechtfertigt.

Update:
Das erste Gerät mußte nach einem kompletten Systemabsturz ausgetauscht werden. Die Software scheint noch ein paar lose Enden zu haben. Das Herunteladen der Bücher klappt einwandfrei, nur sie in der Bibliothek erscheinen zu lassen ist doch noch sehr mühevoll.

Zunächst stellt man die deutsche Sprache ein, dann muß das Gerät registriert werden. Die Punkte dazu sind markiert, Wlan muß natürlich freigeschaltet sein.
Mit herunterladen der Playstore App meldet man sich mit der Google-Mail-Adresse an. Hat das geklappt, merkert auch PlayProtect nicht mehr. Nun kann die entsprechende ReaderApp mit dem Shop heruntergeladen werden, damit hat man zugriff auf die bereits gekauften Bücher, die nun heruntergeladen werden können.

In meinem Fall wurden sie nicht wie anzunehmen - weil da die chinesischen Bücher sind - in dem Ordner Bücher gespeichert, sondern sie verstecken sich folgendermaßen:

Speicher: Storage - Android - Data - com.mytolino.app - files - oneapp - epub

Dort erscheinen sie mit einem Dateinamen, nicht mit dem Buchtitel. Auch das noch! Erst wenn man sie hier bearbeitet hat (ein bischen mit den Schriftgrößen spielen), dann erscheinen sie mit dem Titel in der Bibliothek. Wenn man länger auf das Büch drückt, kann man verschiedene Reader -sofern man sie installiert hat- mit "Öffnen mit" wählen. Mit "Scherschnitt" (kopieren) kann man das Buch leider nirgends einfügen. Jedenfalls habe ich das noch nicht heraus gefunden.

Wenn man das alles geschafft hat, macht es richtig Spaß mit dem Gerät zu arbeiten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Praticamente perfetto
Reviewed in Italy on February 6, 2020
Verified Purchase
Ho acquistato questo prodotto non solo per leggere ebook e pdf ma soprattutto per leggere fumetti online. Tra i tanti e-reader simili, era l'unico in grado di soddisfare le mie esigenze.
Certo non aspettatevi che sia al pari di un tablet in quanto a performance, ma è sicuramente il giusto compromesso tra tablet e un più basico e-reader.

Pro:
1) Permette di navigare su web agilmente, con la possibilità di aggiustare il refresh della pagina, causa di quel fastidioso "lampeggiare" delle immagini che rende la lettura un inferno.
2) E' anche un'ottima tavoletta grafica, che risponde a diversi livelli di pressione della mano. Disegnare e prendere appunti è davvero un piacere, sembra quasi di usare carta e penna.
3) Le dimensioni sono perfette per essere portato ovunque e per non affaticare la mano durante la lettura. Ero indecisa con la versione più grande per poter leggere meglio i pdf, ma trovo che questa misura faccia più al caso mio, e i testi si leggono benissimo.
5) Si possono installare app come in un qualsiasi device Android
6) E' possibile regolare luminosità e temperatura colore dello schermo a piacere. Io trovo che sia comunque meglio tenere una retroilluminazione molto bassa e usare una luce come se si stesse leggendo un normale libro, perché affidandomi solo alla retroilluminazione dopo poco ho male agli occhi come leggendo su un tablet o su smartphone. Alla luce del sole invece si legge che è un piacere, come su carta.

Contro:
1) La batteria, purtroppo è ridicola, se lo si usa per navigare con wifi in una giornata mi capita di caricarlo anche 2-3 volte. Tuttavia per i miei scopi va bene, basta munirsi di un cavetto per la ricarica lungo così da poter leggere comodamente anche mentre è attaccato. Quando il wifi è spento invece dura molto più a lungo, non ho ancora testato quanto però, perché il 90% delle volte lo uso collegato alla rete.
2) Ogni tanto, specialmente se perde il segnale wifi, si impalla. Non risponde più a niente, neanche alla chiusura del case che dovrebbe mandare lo schermo in standby. Occorre tenere premuto a lungo il tasto di accensione per spegnerlo e farlo ripartire. No è un problema gravissimo, ma mi chiedo se che questi ripetuti forzati spegnimenti possano causare problemi al sistema, alla lunga.
3) Non esistono case decenti per questo e-reader, salvo l'unico modello originale. Che però trovo un pò scomodo perché non si apre del tutto rimanendo piatto sul retro del lettore, e non ha la possibilità di piegare la copertina per creare un supporto durante la lettura.

Detto questo, trovo che i contro siano secondari w trascurabili rispetto ai pro, e da quando ho acquistato questo lettore ebook lo uso tutti i giorni con molto piacere. Miglior acquisto dell'anno!

4.0 out of 5 stars Solides Gerät, erfordert etwas Android-Erfahrung
Reviewed in Germany on August 5, 2019

Wer schon mal ein Android-Handy oder Tablet hatte, wird mit diesem E-Reader schnell zurecht kommen, denn genau das ist es eigentlich, auch wenn die Oberfläche vom Hersteller stammt. Und das macht auch die Stärke aus, das Gerät mit Apps erweitern und verbessern zu können, um die vorhandenen Lücken und Merkwürdigkeiten zu beheben.
Davon gibt es trotz recht gut funktionierender Grundinstallation noch einige, wie zum Beispiel Reste von chinesischen Schriftzeichen auf eigentlich übersetzten Oberflächen, keine einfache Möglichkeit zur Bildschirmdrehung, bessere Datei- und Bibliotheksmanager und einiges mehr. Aber das ist oft eine Sache von persönlichen Vorlieben, und wie gesagt, wer Android kennt, kennt auch die Apps die er braucht. Eine clevere Zusatzfunktion: Apps, die nicht für e-Ink Bildschirme entwickelt wurden und entsprechend verwaschen aussehen, können mit einer internen Funktion angepasst und optimiert werden, um Kontraste zu erhöhen und Bildschirmflackern zu vermeiden.

Ohne Vorkenntnisse und für sich alleine ist der Nova Pro immer noch ein sehr respektabler E-Reader mit verzögerungsfreier Handschriftfunktion, Handschrifterkennung, sehr schneller Verarbeitung (ich habe über 3.000 Titel auf dem Gerät) und guter, frei zwischen warm und kalt mischbarer Bildschirmbeleuchtung. Da das Grundsystem dasselbe wie das des größeren Bruders Note Pro ist, funktionieren auch Dinge wie Soundausgabe, Text-in-Sprache, Sprache-in-Text etc. - allerdings eben über Bluetooth.

Das Gerät selbst ist gut verarbeitet und leicht, der Bildschirm ist sehr gut: Spiegelt nicht, trotz Glas gute Touch- und Schreibeigenschaften. Der Akku hält im reinen "Lesebetrieb" gut 5 Tage durch (was für einen nur-E-Reader wenig ist, für ein Android Tablet unerreichbar), allerdings ist das WLAN extrem engergiehungrig, mit 7 Stunden Dauerbetrieb, Surfen, Installationen und Synchronisation ging der Akku von 100% auf 25% herunter. Zu Empfehlen ist auf jeden Fall eine Hülle, da das Gehäuse recht glatt ist und aus der Hand rutschen kann, außerdem verliert man nicht ständig den Stift. Ich benutze eine Universal-Hülle für 8-Zoll Tablets, da ich die Boox-Hülle für unpraktisch (Stift hängt "außen") und unverschämt teuer halte.

Onyx Boox entwickelt die Software noch aktiv weiter und unterstützt mit Upgrades und Patches; hier hoffe ich auf eine Aussage zum Upgrade von Android 6.0 auf 8.0, wie es die Konkurrenz für ihre Produkte gerade ankündigt. Aber auch ohne 8.0 ist das Gerät schon sehr umfassend nutzbar, und mit etwas Anpassungsarbeit noch besser.
