I don’t know if this is an unintentional bug, but while a library refresh is in progress, I cannot open and read books.Ĭover scanning is a separate operation from a library refresh. ( Update: Onyx said they are considering adding this feature in the future).

#Onyx boox note air manual

It’s a manual refresh that needs to be triggered. Onyx library, however, doesn’t get refreshed automatically. My Calibre library syncs to my Boox with Syncthing. After configuring my library, I ran into a couple of issues: This doesn’t affect how the device functions, but simply lacks a certain polish that I notice. Some examples of such inconsistencies (highlighted in red):Įxample 3: Inconsistent date formatting, the date has a 0 padding, but the month doesn’t

I occasionally come across typos or formatting errors that give the software an unpolished feel. This was fixed once I installed the software update. I noticed some untranslated text (Chinese) in a couple of menus. The tablet boots to a standard first-time setup which guides through a few device options. I’ve been looking for an alternative stylus but I haven’t found the right combination of features that I’d want in a stylus: magnetic, cap, and an eraser. There is (naturally) a tiny lag before the text appears on the screen and it’s only noticeable if I pay attention.Īfter about a month of use, my nib looks worn out (I use too much pressure while writing), but I haven’t replaced it yet.

Writing is (almost) as fast as writing on an actual piece of paper with a very realistic feel. This is a problem when I’m carrying the tablet in my backpack the magnets aren’t strong enough to secure the pen during transit. The pen has no cap to secure the nib, and the case also does not have a sleeve to secure the stylus during transit. I honestly don’t fancy the idea of splurging on a second pen just to have an eraser. I wish Onyx had been generous and shipped a pen with an eraser.

There is an upgraded Pro version of the pen available for purchase separately.

The pen has no eraser (there’s a digital eraser, which I find cumbersome to switch to). The magnetic pen attaches snugly to the side of the tablet. I hoped there would be MHL connectivity to use the device with an external monitor but it’s neither mentioned anywhere in the specs nor could I make it work.

The Note Air 2 has Bluetooth (for headphones or keyboards or anything you can use an Android device with), WiFi (5GHz) and a USB-C port. It’s dark this time of the year here in the Netherlands and I’ve stuck to a warm mild colour. It’s front-lit and does not cause eyestrain.Īlong with a setting to adjust the light brightness, it’s also possible to choose between warm and cool lighting. The e-ink display is a delight to read on. I’m getting a third party case from Etsy.

Update (May 2022): My case is now completely bust. The corner plastic clasps securing the tablet in the case have already started falling apart for me, and I came across more reports on the Boox subreddit with similar problems. The case is gorgeous but is of subpar quality. The spine covers the side USB-C port on the tablet, and it’s not possible to charge the tablet when the case is closed. There is, however, a huge design flaw with the case. My device shipped with a grey (outside) and orange (inside) book folio case. The device looks beautiful with orange highlights and a flush bezel. Update: Onyx commented on Reddit that a rubber protector was added to the pen to prevent damage during transit. It’s not the best experience out of the box, and Onyx should find a way to ship the pen so the nib doesn’t get damaged. I got in touch with the seller and they shipped a set of nibs right away and in a couple of days I had a working pen. I came across a post on Reddit discussing this problem and the likely culprit is that the pen is not secured in the box and the pen gets damaged during shipping. This caused issues during the calibration process for the stylus, and I could write on the device with the tip hanging 1 cm in the air. The first thing I noticed as I was unboxing was that the pen nib was bent and crushed (see update at end of this section). Here’s my experience of using the tablet for 6 weeks. The lack of a backlight and a recently introduced subscription model drove me to go for a Boox Note Air 2 instead. I’ve been eyeing the e-ink tablet market since Remarkable launched a few years ago. I take a lot of notes and it was becoming a real headache to organise and revise things I had studied.
