Jan 12, 2013 - You can get a Japanese-Japanese dictionary for free on the Kindle, but if you want. After having purchased and installed it on the Kindle, got to. Onyx Boox Firmware 2.0. I'm working with kindle 3.6.x on android phone. ONYX BOOX MAX 2 PRO ebook Reader Price: $849.95 $829.95 Description; Photos. Install your daily favourite apps: bookstores (Kindle), Cloud( Dropbox), Web-browser, RSS readers, newsstandsSave your eyes from tiring LED screen. The current firmware has functions such as calendar, dictionary, access to the Internet, and others.

I recently go my hands on a new gadget, the. I have now owned a Kindle Paperwhite (2nd gen), a Kobo Glo, a Kobo GloHD, and now the Onyx Boox Note. The prime reason for me getting this device were two: (i) ability to mark up pdfs and epubs with comments (something I need for research, review, check,), (ii) the great pdf readability (automatic crop support), which is of course also related to the bigger screen. The Note main screen gives the last read book and some others from the library, plus direct access to some apps. One can scroll through the most recently read books at the top by swiping right. I would have preferred a bit smaller icons on the big screen to see more of the books, maybe in a future firmware version.

Not too many applications are available, but the Play Store is there and one can get most programs. Unfortunately it seems that k9-mail – my main mail program on Android – does not support the Note. Reading epubs is quite normal an experience. Nothing to complain here. Usual settings etc.

Where the Note is great is PDFs, which are a huge pain on my smaller devices. Neither the Kindle nor the Kobo have decent PDF support in my opinion, while the Note allows for auto-cropping (as seen in the image below), as well as manual cropping and several other features. Simply great.

Another wonderful feature is that one can scribble directly in the pdf or epub, and the notes will be saved. In addition to that, there is also a commenting mode in landscape format with the document on the left and the notes on the right, see below. Very useful, both of the modes. Besides adding notes to pdfs and epubs, one can also have a notebook. Resident evil the umbrella chronicles iso español ingles. Here is the Notes main interface screen, which allows selecting previous notes, adding new, and some more operations (I still don’t know the function of most icons).

Here is a simple example of scribbling around. Surprisingly good. I will see how much my normal paper note taking will be replaced by this. Note taking and markup can of course be done with the finger, but the pen that comes with the device is much better. The sleeve that comes with the device has a holder for the pen, so it could be around wherever you go.

Finally some hardware specs from one of the hardware info programs. I have used the Note now for two weeks for reading, pdf markup, and a bit of note taking. For now I have a very good impression, good battery run time, durable feeling. What I am missing is a backlight for reading in the night.

I guess with more usage time I will find more points to criticize, but for now I think it was an excellent purchase. To be fair, the Remarkable is the less capable device for academic reading (writing and scribbling might be different). The Note has a quad-core 1.6Ghz processor, runs Android 6, and can, therefore, run everything from the Kindle app to a BibTeX manager. I recently bought an InkPad 3 for reading. 8 inch is a good compromise between good display size (can display papers, but a bit too small) and portability.

It has the same resolution as the note and the ReMarkable. Only costs 220€ but has no pen. If there was a chance to get root, you should be able to install a chroot environment, e.g. With Linux Deploy, and get a full desktop running (like xfce, probably gnome or kde would be too heavy, although I don’t know). I’ve tried this on an older Onyx reader, which was held back by a single core CPU.
