So you can’t transfer data from your Note Air 2 to another device. The big problem is that Onyx doesn’t allow users to use third-party software to access backed-up notes. On-page annotation isn’t perfect, though. The plastic layer is textured to feel like paper when brushed with the stylus. There’s a plastic layer covering the glass screen of the Note Air 2. You can then copy and paste the converted characters into apps. Users can also use Optical Character Recognition in their notes, which converts handwriting into digital text. Onyx’s app then stores the notes in its cloud app or through DropBox. Annotating eBooks is easy: you can just run Onyx’s NeoReader app by opening an eBook. But it has a trick that its competitors aren’t particularly good at: it can take notes directly onto eBooks. The big 10-inch screen makes the Note Air 2 great for both reading and taking notes. The weight difference between the Note Air 2 and the original Note Air is negligible thanks to the Note Air 2’s additional textured plastic layer on top of the glass. But the differences are nearly unnoticeable. However, in this case, the plastic substrate weighs less and is more durable, compared to a glass substrate in an E Ink Carta panel. Normally, Mobius screens get used in flexible displays. The substrate runs behind the glass screen. While its competitors use a similar panel, the difference is that the Mobius screen uses a plastic substrate. As such, the Note Air 2's midrange Snapdragon 662 is one of the fastest eReaders on today’s market.įurthermore, the 1872 x 1404 resolution E Ink Mobius panel has one of the best “pixel” densities of 227 pixels-per-inch (PPI). Android eReaders, however, need more processing power, particularly when multitasking between apps. Software is responsive! Size is excellent, no issues with palm rejection.EReader hardware isn't comparable to smartphone processors because eBooks aren’t resource-intensive. Don’t even notice it’s on, just a more visible screen. Size is great, VERY happy with the backlight- I keep it really low but it’s just enough that I don’t need bright lights on in the room. I will try rM nibs with them but don’t love either of them yet. The lamy with default nib feels (and sounds) more like a pen. the default pen makes a nice scratching sound like a pencil on paper that is really pleasing So far I actually like the default pen nib the best, and I have some rM nips on the way pen nib makes a HUGE difference in feel: I haven’t put the screen protector on yet but will soon, and expect that to further improve the feel latency and distance from screen aren’t an issue for me AT ALL. In fact the default pen sounds like that soft pleasing scratching sound of a pencil on paper. there is NO clacking on the glass like Ive noticed with an iPad. I haven’t used a remarkable but I’m totally fine writing on this, and this was BY FAR my biggest concern. most importantly- it doesn’t bother me. writing on the screen kinda feels like glass (the hardness) BUT WITH SEVERAL CAVEATS: I’ll do a full write up, but here’s a high level summary: Ultimately I will try the Note3 for myself when it arrives and share a report after testing.Īnyone have a good tutorial on applying the screen cover? So the actual experience may be different. This is all from specs research, articles on screens, and YouTube reviews (my deep guide and morning coach). So Note3 should have better writing experience than Air.ĭisclaimer- I haven’t actually written on any of them! The Note3 has the mobius screen (more flexible) under the glass, which is the same as the Lumi. So from that standpoint lumi should have the best boox writing experience.Īir also has glass cover, but also has a less flexible screen under the glass. So from what I have heard the feel will not be the same (I was hoping they were based on the positive feedback of the lumi writing).įrom what I understand, the glass adds a hardness, smoothness and increases the distance from the pen to ink. The Lumi has an acrylic cover, Note3 has glass. Then from there you have to weigh software issues, etc. latency (rM2, Lumi, not sure where Note3 fits here but possibly same as Lumi because software, rM1)īased on this I think the writing experience ranking would be: shortest distance of ink to pen (glass puts you farther away than acrylic)Ī screen PROTECTOR can increase the softness of a glass screen, but also increases the distance of the screen from the pen. flexibility of the screen (mobius vs carta) screen Cover softness/smoothness (acrylic vs glass) Here’s my understanding of what defines the writing experience, based on researching for my purchase:
