Boox Nova Air C - In-depth Review - Part 1

[@marcin6386]

I'm watching these e-inks for a few years now and they are slowly coming to the point when I will just buy one.

[@einkclub5218]

Color E-ink is gaining momentum and the latest Gallery 3 is very very promising. They are already very useable now ( I recently bought a Bigme Max + Color for being so satisfied with Nova Air C). Love reading magazines on the 10.3 screen so so much.

@@einkclub5218 how is Bigme Max +

[@einkclub5218]

@@honantong Very usable despite the fact that the UI isn't as refined as Boox. Still trying to spend more time with it before doing an in-depth review.

Hi, I just wonder if Nova air c has any button to tab on in order to use the device in only black and write mode?

[@einkclub5218]

The only "physical button" on Nova Air C is the power button. BTW, I don't think Boox Color Eink devices have a dedicated Black and White mode - the user cannot configure the eink screen to display in black and white only (for whatever reasons). According to the official spec, the B/W ppi of Nova Air C is 300ppi which is much better than the 100ppi in color but the text still looks a little bit jagged and granular when comparing to a B/W model (vs Nova Air). Hope this helps.

[@honantong]

does it have speakers

[@einkclub5218]

yes it does

I regret bought this product. The screen is small. Not comfortable reading books from this boox. Better read from tablet. I think the plus is only writting on the screen is smooth. That's it.

[@einkclub5218]

Really sorry to learn that. It's such a headache to have bought a wrong size Ereader. I experienced that on the Poke series which is handy but really too small for my use. What's your major complaint about it? The screen size? Anything else? Would my comparison help in having a more concrete idea on how big the screen really is?

[@einkclub5218]

Btw, I am waiting for the delivery of the Bigme Max Color..... I may then sell my Nova 3 Color and Air C if it's good
