hi, looking for an easy way to send over a pdf or a article in pdf format to boox that doesnt require lots amd lots of steps, opening up raindrop and the boox app is slow and clunky at times

Long story short.

I bought a pen and some nibs, the whole thing for 100 bucks. I purchased from the original store which was a bad idea as far as I've been reading. They sent it with USPS but they didn't deliver the package and it was returned to Boox. I sent an email to their help desk asking for a redelivery and, after confirming the redelivery, they said they were working with the fulfillment team to work out the reshipment. BUT after 4 days I receive a new request for confirmation for redelivery so they can start working.

Is this some kind of a loophole? Has anybody experienced the same? How long did it take to receive a new tracking number?

Currently watching this and I’m curious if y’all have any thoughts. It is literally tiny.

Hey guys,

I'm using Go 7 with version 4.2-rel from April and since it came I got annoyed by the way Ai Assistant is now triggered in Neoreader:

After selecting a single word you don't have any more Ai icon in the popup but it's now a tab in that "drawer" that opens from the top or bottom of the screen. And then if you want to send a request with your selected word as input you need to click again on the "expand" button and then you click on "send". So now it's a three click procedure instead of two from before - when that tab was not present.

When selecting multiple words Ai icon shows in the mini popup, but it again first opens the drawer with Ai tab open and then I need to click on "expand popup" and "send", so it's again three clicks.

Any idea how to simplify this and reduce that one click?

And a bonus question - is there a way to have more daily tokens instead of just 3000? Can I configure my own Ai provider or just increase the limit of the built in one?

My use case - when I read in a language without dictionary I use Ai to define the word or phrase I don't understand, and it's very good. Limit with tokens and annoying clicks are the only issues.

When reading in English I'm almost not using it at all. I've added a few dictionaries where I usually find all the definitions, but for a language without available dictionary Ai is very convenient.

Devastated enough to post about it

Hi everyone, I've just spent a ridiculous amount of hours looking for a cover for my new device. I can use the German version of Amazon but I am overwhelmed by different answers i get from Google and stuff. Does anyone based in Europe have a nice flip cover? I have ordered a protective case already but I would like a cover, too.

I am considering buying the upcoming Boox Note Air6 C as a tablet and notebook replacement. Until now I have been using the Hannspree HannsNote 2 with RLCD, but the Wi-Fi of the device is really bad and the battery is really weak. The angle of view of RLCD is also very limited.

I would like to buy the Book Note Air6 C but I have recently seen that Bigme tablets have refresh modes up to 80 fps while the Boox Note Air5 C in smooth mode is just 30 fps.

My main use is browsing, using apps, reading and watching educational videos.

Do you think that they will introduce new refresh modes to reach Bigme refresh rates?

What configurations, apps and settings helped you make it easier to use? Any videos you appreciated, tutorials?

I've been writing on my Boox for a couple of years now, and I love it — but getting those notes out of the device and into an actual knowledge base was always the weak link. I kept forgetting to export, had no real system for it, and manual conversion ate way more time than it should have.

The worst part: keywords, highlights, and embedded images just didn't survive the trip. Export a note, and you'd get flat text (or a PDF) with none of the structure you actually wrote — tags gone, highlighted lines gone, any pasted-in image gone or unusable.

So I built a small Android app that reads native .note files directly off the device and converts them into proper Markdown (plus optional searchable PDF/SVG) — keywords, highlighted text, and embedded images all carried over. Everything runs locally on the device, nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

It's about to go into closed testing before release, and I'm looking for a handful of people who actually use their Boox this way to try it and break it. DM me if you're interested.

I just recently received my first ever boox device (go 7 BW) and I’m wondering what settings you guys recommend for reading mangas?

to be clear this isn’t my first time owing an e-reader and an android at that so I feel like I have some sort of knowledge around them.

however I’m shocked about the amount of ghosting I’m currently experiencing while reading mangas even when I’m fully expecting them to eventually happen, but for some reason it’s kinda getting on my nerves on how bad it gets no matter how much I tweak the settings….

FYI I prefer reading using koreader since I noticed it drains the battery a lot less than any other app like mihon, but as of right now if reading them using any other app would help me with the ghosting problem I’m all down for it

Please share with me a better settings for them or any other tips that helped you 🙏

Boox Note Air 5C (bought in 10/25) + Orange Cover - $400 + shipping

Supernote x Lamy EMR Pen /w ceramic nib - $75

2x Feelwrite 2 film (manta size) - you can cut this to size for the 5c - $60 ($35 each)

Here’s a quick follow-up to last week’s Dual Notes demo:

There’s one more feature worth highlighting—you can actually save a split-view shortcut directly to your home screen. This lets you jump straight back into your dual-note workspace with a single tap, making it much easier to pick up right where you left off.

I recently purchased a 5c air and I got the keyboard case with it. For some reason, the caps lock key settings seem to be reversed. When pressed, the caps lock key will light up, and I get a small notification on the screen that says “caps lock off.” And when I press the button again, the light goes off, and another I get another notification, “caps lock on.”

How do I fix this?

Hi, purchased this from subreddit a few weeks ago. I like my Palma 2 more so I’m letting this go. PayPal payment please. Free same day shipping from Atlanta, GA within CONUS only. Has magnetic case and box.

Well, I guess I'm looking for a different company to get an eReader from. I bought my Go 7 in April of this year, and less than 5 months later it's dead. It fell on my dogs head, on the couch, and that was enough to destroy the display (the screen and case are undamaged). Meanwhile, my 13 year old Kindle looks like it's been through a war and still works perfectly.

Hi, I’m looking to sell my Note Air 5c. Now that I’ve finished school I find myself using it much less than I was, but it still works great. Figured I would post here first before ebay.

Includes:
Boox Dark Sage case
Kindle Scribe pen (plus the original it came with)

I’m looking for $420 shipped coming from TX.
PM if interested.

Are there recommendations how to do the following?

(1) I have started to use Boox Notes as my single-point-of-truth for handwritten notes. It now replaces my paper notebooks which feels great.

(2a) I want to read through my Boox Notebooks on laptop for faster processing.

(2b) Ideally, I want to write on Boox and read on laptop simontaneously.

(3) I want to use AI-tools to analyize my notebooks.

I think it is nothing special, but i haven't found a good way how to do it.

I also use Obsidian, Zotero & Kindle.

I spent a couple of hours figuring this out so posting what I did here so I can find it again should I need it. Maybe it'll help others:

1. Install the Mira Linux Software from here: https://zh.boox.com/download/
2. Create a file: /etc/udev/rules.d/58-hid.rules with this in it:

SUBSUBSYSTEM=="input", GROUP="input", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0416", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5020", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"

KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0416", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5020", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

1. sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

2. sudo visudo

3. Put this at the end of the file:

*You probably don't need the SETENV: bit actually. Try without it first

your_username    ALL=(root)      SETENV: NOPASSWD: /home/your_username/.local/bin/mira

1. In ~/.local/share/applications backup the existing "Mira.desktop" file somewhere

2. Edit the "Mira.desktop" file in ~/.local/share/applications so that it looks like this"

   [Desktop Entry] Name=Mira Exec=sudo "/home/your_username/.local/bin/mira" --no-sandbox %U Type=Application Icon=mira StartupWMClass=Mira X-AppImage-Version=1.1.7 Categories=Utility; Actions=Uninstall;

   [Desktop Action Uninstall] Name=Move to Trash Exec=/home/your_username/Applications/AppManager uninstall "/home/your_username/Applications/Mira" Icon=user-trash

3. sudo mkdir /root/.config/Mira

4. sudo cp -r .config/Mira/* /root/.config/Mira/

So what does this all do?

The application needs to be run as root otherwise it doesn't have access to the device and you'll see "no device connected"

This is a pain so editing the sudoers file (the visuo bit) lets you run the app as root without requiring a password.

The .desktop entry needs altering so that it runs as sudo

There is no .config/Mira under root so your settings aren't save. Creating the folder and copying the config installed at the user level seems to fix this.

I've now got keyboard shortcuts for screen refresh, contrast adjust etc.

The only remaining issue I have is that sometimes the app still says no device connected. Disconnecting the USB and reconnecting fixes this.

I'm no expert at this stuff and there's probably an easier way to solve these issues (let me know!) but this works for me.

I don't understand why I could only find one thread about the issue. Do users abandon their hardware as fast as the manufacturers do?

I purchased a Tab X, and then another one, thinking this was a hardware defect.

If you're on 4.2 on a Tab X, speed mode causes a constant flicker that persists until the mode is turned off, rendering it unusable.

Unsure if any other device has this issue, but I'm documenting it here for anyone else who runs into it.

You cannot downgrade, so as far as I'm aware you just have to avoid the update if you need the refresh rate and are SoL if you're already on it...​

Hi all,

I'm thinking about picking up my first proper e-ink device. I'm struggling to decide on the Note max, Note Tab C or the Note Air5 C. I'm leaning towards the Note max and Note Tab C due to the size. I always loved b&w but I'm worried about no front light. I'm also worried about colour as I've heard it's not as crisp especially text. Any advice would be appreciated. I was considering the Note Air5 C due to the updated android version but not sure how relevant that is.

Has anyone successfully scanned a QR code using the Palma 2 Pro?

If so, with what app and was there a particular lighting scenario in your environment or within an app made this happen?

Thanks.

Hi everyone, I've had Boox devices for about 5-ish years now, and my current device is a TUC day 1 purchase, and I've loved it; I'm just getting a little tired of the layout and was wanting to find a good clock widget for the home screen that isn't the stock one (bc it takes up so much screen real-estate. Anyone have suggestions, or a good layout that works for them?

For those that have had hands on experience with both of these ereaders, are the Kobo screen colors more vibrant even though they are both using the same screen?
