BOOX Note Air2 ePaper Paper Tablets

Product Information

The Android Kindle app and reading ebooks works perfectly, and it runs Android apps and the integration just works. Pull down from the top right of the screen for quick toggles, and from the left of the screen for notifications. I contacted Boox directly to see if I can help or to get it fixed, as it is under a 12 month warranty, with the picture attached.

Onyx also gives you plenty of screen refresh modes to choose from, so you can customise each app to display just the way you want it to. It’s fronted by Asahi protective glass, and, more significantly, by an extra stylus layer that adds a touch of friction. In use I suffered very few glitches or stutters – there were no issues moving around in apps or loading my books –which certainly made the experience of using the Note Air 2 Plus feel more premium.I did download YouTube, although the Note Air 2 Plus’s refresh rate wasn’t good enough to run fast-paced video content, which made me question why it was supported at all.

The Note Air 2's plastic active stylus is cylindrical; one side is flat and magnetized (for attaching to the tablet), while textured lines to help with grip. Naturally, the screen refresh in other apps can feel really sluggish, but the Boox software makes it possible to configure just about everything, on a per-app basis as well as globally for the entire system. Its 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage are an improvement, too; its predecessor had 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. If you want a reading tool, though, and aren't a fan of your Kindle's small screen and its limited app support, this is a perfect step up for anyone who can justify the cost. In this era of online learning, the Onyx Boox Note Air might be the perfect sidekick for both professors and college students.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
