BOOX Nova2 7.8 inch e Reader Black, Android 9.0, 3+32GB, Octa-core 2.0GHz processor, OTG, Frontlight,5GHz WiFi

Absolutely love this. I have been using e-readers for many years, starting with the Sony PRS series and moving on to Kindle. My main choice for moving to Kindle was because the note-taking and highlights synchromise with the Amazon account and can be accessed and copied from the Amazon website. The main disadvantage of Kindle is of course being locked to the Amazon system and not being able to use books from elsewhere (except very limited ability to sideload non-DRM books from which the notes and highlights won't sync).The BOOX is great because I can still access all my Kindle books with the Kindle app, and I can still share and access my notes and highlights from them in the same way as before, but it has also opened up the ability to use Google Play Books, buy books from there when preferable, and use Google's synchronising ability on notes and highlights which shares with Google Docs (and in my opinion is a better, more accessible, and more flexible system than Amazon's).Then of course I can also use other Android apps, reading apps, journal and newspaper subscription apps through Android too.Finally, the native Onyx BOOX app for reading is far better for reading PDFs than any other app I have ever used, enabling handwritten notes and highlights which can be saved to the PDF and exported. You can also turn the screen and have a parallel document and notepad, and writing with the stylus, (or adding diagrams, or doodling, or drawing) is easy, and sharing/exporting is as easy as pointing a smartphone at the QR code that appears on the BOOX screen.I wish I could afford one of the bigger screen versions (Note2 or Max3), but in the meantime, this device really addresses all the things I've grumbled at in other e-readers over the years and I couldn't be more pleased with it.Update after 4 months of use: Still just as happy as when I got it. I use it all the time and find it really helpful. The built-in note taking app is great, and I use Autosync from the Google Play Store so that my notes (and the text recognition of them - yes, it doesn't do badly even with my scrappy handwriting) are automatically synced to the cloud so I can access them on any device.I've read reviews complaining about no Google Play Store and criticising Onyx for this. Actually it is because Google refuse to license E-ink devices for Android. There is an easy (and official - it's not a "hack") way round this involving you registering the individual device yourself with Google, and the latest Onyx BOOX updates make this really easy to do just by following the instructions on the device.After this, Android apps just work. I haven't yet come across one that doesn't. (Obviously I wouldn't try using an e-ink device to watch video, but even that works, better than I would have thought. The device has different settings for screen updates which can be adjusted for each app, so that you can have frequent screen refreshes with loss of detail and contrast or less frequent ones to keep the page white and the ink black, as in when turning pages of an ebook. Mostly the presets are fine.)

If you want to install other reading app on a Ereader then it it a good opition, otherwise choose kindle would be a better/reasonable choice

I would say this e-reader is amazing and valuable. Compare to other brands, this device is worth to get one, it has all functions that I needed, however, the sensitivity of pen writing seemed not good enough, if I compare it with my iPad, it seems a bit hard to say it’s good for long time writing, but all good for reading and other services, especially it is allowed to download other book store apps, then I can get all books that I want from any kind of online book stores.

This is great priduct for taking notes when you read (no needs for paper).Your writing can be change in typing letters and be saved and print.Great for learning.

Mission 1: I am on a decade long pursuit to become paper-free (or at least as close to it as possible) and have my notes/sketches/doodles organized in a single place. The Boox Nova 2 was the latest attempt in my journey.I first saw the device at CES 2020 when after a demo I was sold on the capabilities and for it running on Android 9 and I thought that most apps that I was used to on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 N5100 (the obscure tablet released in 2013, not the phone) would work well but with a more paper-like feeling to writing and long battery autonomy.My original idea was to keep Evernote as my notes solution. But either the app is excruciating slow or the amount of ghosting makes it impossible to use! Also forget Evernote's handwriting on the Nova 2, this feature was already bad on regular Android, on Boox devices the amount of lag makes it impossible to use. The same is valid for OneNote and other handwriting apps, just too much lag for them to be useful.I then reverted to Boox's note app, since it synced with Evernote. The UI is OK and the response rate is a lot better, it is a good note-taking app. However there is a BIG caveat: it does not have PC/Mac versions, so no way to edit your notes on a computer, and Evernote sync is only oneway. It does save notes on Dropbox, but still, no way to edit notes elsewhere.Mission 1 failed! My notes are now split into 3 different apps (Evernote, S-note and Boox Notes)...---Mission 2: use the Boox Nova 2 as an e-ink readerAs an e-reader it is brilliant, I can read Kindle, PDF, ePUB, Financial Times, Medium and The Economist really well!Mission 2 success!----Pros:+ Battery Life+ Screen feel when writing+ Great to read (including the backlight!)+ Palm rejection on most apps I triedCons:- No bidirectional sync for notes with Windows or Mac- Lag on non-Boox-native apps (Evernote, Onenote, Noteshelf, etc.)- Slow- Google Play not enabled out of the box (this is a joke, seriously get your device approved by Google!)- Shady Boox App Store: "All of the proposed apps in App Store are collected from the internet, for study reference only"- ExpensiveMessage to Boox: The hardware is not bad but the software needs a lot of work.

The device repeatedly crashed and turned off. Now returning for a new one.The screen protector has no application tools ie: wipes and squeegee so is almost impossible to apply bubble free if any dust or particulates get in the way. I'm loosing hope with the device and low quality seems to be a theme with this company.UPDATE:the replacement says server error when I try to update.UPDATE: issue remains but good customer support have confirmed that the device is on the latest version. I have Access to all the features I need and it works. The device it's self is good but it's let down by its software.

Powerfull device. Full of features. As a person which use English as a second language my favourite feature is full page translate where I have English version of ebook on left and translated on right.

Conocía ya la versión anterior, "Nova Pro", que califiqué muy bien, por la calidad y resolución que consigue con los textos escritos, por la buena respuesta táctil, por la escritura natural que se consigue con el pen magnético, por la comodidad que se consigue alternando la propieda táctil capacitiva y la magnética, y la regulación de la luz frontal. Además de la comodidad de poder instalar numerosas aplicaciones de Android. Pero la nueva versión "Nova 2", al implementar su velocidad con memoria RAM y con procesador, hace aún más fiable la respuesta táctil y supera la limitación que tenía la anterior versión, y es que resultaba muy lento en la navegación por internet; ahora la nueva versión del dispositivo permite el uso fluido de aplicaciones de navegación, correo electrónico, almacenamiento en la nube, calendario, etc. Además, el cambio de Android 6 a Android 9 hace más cómodo el manejo del dispositivo, y según los expertos, da una mayor seguridad. También se ha mejorado la capacidad de tomar notas escritas sobre los archivos pdf y epub, lo cual lo convierte en un estupendo instrumento para estudiar y preparar clases y conferencias.

Un po' caro, ma ottimo! Ho deciso di non andare sul kindle questa volta e ho voluto provare il Boox in quanto arriva con un Android "aperto" sul quale è possibile installare qualsiasi cosa.Mia moglie usa un kindle voyage da 6" quindi uso un po' quello come paragone. Nonostante lo schermo più grande questo Boox è più leggero. Avevo timore la dimensione fosse eccessiva e che alla fine risultasse poco pratico, ma mi devo assolutamente ricredere. Trovo la diagonale 7.8" perfetta e difficilmente potrò tornare a uno schermo da 6".Ottima la possibilità di regolare la temperatura (dal giallo a blu) della retroilluminazione e fantastica la possibilità di prendere note a mano. Buoni anche i materiale e il "feel" generale, non sono plasticucce scricchiolanti.Il lettore è molto veloce in ogni operazione, ovviamente considerati i limiti della tecnologia e-ink. Ottima la possibilità di installare qualsiasi applicazione dal google store, quindi se non siete soddisfatti delle funzionalità delle applicazioni pre-installate potrete scaricare qualsiasi alternativa dal playstore.E' possibile anche selezionare 4 differenti modalità di visualizzazione in base ai contenuti che state guardando. Alcune modalità sono più veloci, altre hanno maggiore scala di grigi e così via. Questo permette ad esempio anche di guardare filmati su youtube dal browser... anche se in bianco e nero ovviamente.L'ereader è arrivato con 83% di carica e dopo una settimana di utilizzo sono ancora al 75% quindi credo non avrò problemi (nota: disattivo sempre il wifi quando non serve e non uso spessissimo la retroilluminazione).Non capisco il motivo della media voti così bassa, ho come l'impressione che amazon tenda a abbassare la media di lettori non kindle, Darei 4.5 stelle, ma visto che non ci sono mezzi voti , vada per 5, così alziamo anche un po' la media di questo ottimo ereader.

Le principal intérêt de cet Onyx Boox est d'avoir une tablette sous Android qui est comme une liseuse, c'est à dire qu'elle ne fatigue pas la vue, peut se lire le soir avant de dormir est très agréable en plein jour, dehors. Les applications que j'utilise habituellement sur mon téléphone fonctionnent comme gmail, google drive, Office, (les applications de traitement de texte fonctionnent comme sur une tablette android).- Le format tient dans une poche de veste et l'appareil est vraiment léger. Il tient bien en main. Avec l'écran mat, exactement comme un liseuse kindle, on ne met pas des traces de doigt partout sur l'écran. Je suis abonné à un quotidien en ligne que je télécharge et lis de manière très agréable, comme sur une liseuse.- Je ne pensais pas tellement l'utiliser pour écrire, mais finalement, cela fait un bon bloc-note et l'écriture est agréable (le fait de pouvoir gommer permet des notes sans ratures). On peut sauvegarder ses notes en ligne, par le serveur boox, qui malheureusement est assez lent.- on peut y corriger des copies avec le crayon fourni. Au format pdf, ces corrections manuelles sont exportables (on enregistre un pdf qui intègre les notes manuelles) mais pour les formats doc ou google docs, on ne peut pas exporter les corrections manuelles.- Pour les pdf, malgré le format réduit de la tablette (7,8"), on peut lire des A4 en mettant l'écran à l'horizontal et les annoter. Le logiciel pdf maison permet d'ailleurs de supprimer toutes les marges, ce qui permet de profiter au maximum de l'écran. Ca reste un peu plus petit qu'un A4 dans sa largeur, mais c'est possible de travailler.- J'y conserve différents documents. La mémoire est suffisante. Il se connecte facilement à l'ordinateur et on peut passer des documents de l'un à l'autre sans problème.- L'autre intérêt est l'autonomie: environ 3 semaines avec un usage d'au moins 2heures par jours. On peut le laisser allumé devant soi sans problème (par exemple lors qu'on s'en sert pour afficher une partition de musique), puisque l'écran, une fois affiché, ne consomme pas d'énergie. (comme pour un kindle, c'est le changement de pages, ou le chargement de document qui utilise de l'énergie).- évidemment, cette tablette n'a aucun intérêt pour regarder des vidéos, des animations en couleurs, etc.

Das Gerät ist super verarbeitet, es macht einen wertigen Eindruck.E-Books mehrere Formate lasen sich auf dem Gerät leicht installieren. PDF und epub Bücher lassen sich schön mit eigene Texten / Notizen ergänzen wie bei richtigen Büchern ( andere Formate habe ich leider nicht zur Hand ). Das Arbeiten ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, geht jedoch relativ schnell. Der Zugang zu dem Google App-Store ist auch sehr gut. Bei der ersten Anmeldung muss man allerdings etwas Geduld mit bringen. Die Amazon Kindle App ist schnell installiert und genau so zu bedienen wie auf dem Handy oder anderen Android Tablets. In den Büchern von Kindle kann ich allerdings keinen Handschriftlichen Notizen hinzu fügen. Es gibt einen menge Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, Schriftart, Schriftgröße, Kontrast für Bild und Text, Ausrichtung usw.Was soll ich sagen? Es ist ein tolles Gerät und seinen Preis wert.

Tenía muchas dudas y al final me decidí, y no me arrepiento. Es un buen producto y parece que con una compañía detrás que se asegura del soporte al usuario, ya que desde que lo compré ya he recibido una actualización.El producto tiene una serie de características que me gustan:- Una visualización excelente tanto en resolución como con la iluminación led que permite ajustarla tanto en intensidad como en temperatura de color.- Por supuesto, es tinta electrónica y no cansa la vista; como leer en un papel.- Lo uso para leer PDFs de ámbito técnico y el software es excelente para ello; a pesar del tamaño reducido del ebook, puedes ponerlo en apaisado o, si son varios columnas, dividir la lectura en 4 páginas, además de que puedes reducir automáticamente los márgenes para aprovecha mejor la superficie. El hecho de poder hacer anotaciones con el puntero es un plus importante.- Lo uso también para leer noticias con un agregador de noticias (Feedly) con apoyo de Instapaper (para evitar hacer scroll). Asimismo, para leer correos electrónicos. La experiencia es buena.- El soporte de múltiples formatos de ebook (mobi, epub, etc.) también es interesante, aunque aquí se echa en falta un mejor soporte del castellano sobre todo a la hora de dividir palabras entre dos líneas, que no lo suele hacer bien.- Por supuesto, la duración de la batería es excelente. Con uso diario, puedo estar más de 2 semanas sin recargarla.Por supuesto, también tiene sus limitaciones (de ahí que no le dé 5 estrellas):- Para otros usos de los indicados, hay que tener en cuenta que, a pesar de ser una tablet rápida, el tiempo de refresco de la tinta electrónica hace que no sea cómodo determinados usos, como la navegación por internet. Ello es debido a dos factores: el tiempo de refresco al hacer scroll o zoom, y el número reducido de tonos de gris al visualizar imágenes. Y eso que trae varios modos de refresco, pero la experiencia no termina siendo satisfactoria del todo.- Me hubiera gustado conectarla al PC para usarla de tableta gráfica, pero por alguna razón no funciona correctamente (con otra tablet más convencional sí he podido).Por último, un consejo: no intentes ponerle el protector de pantalla de la marca; no hay manera de que quede bien. Con una buena funda para proteger el dispositivo es suficiente.
