I've been trying to buy a tablet for years but iPad battery has been lacklustre and traditional e-ink tablets have had too many limitations. This model from Boox solves pretty much all my problems.

Hey all, we accidentally mixed up the PPI numbers on this one. It's actually 300 PPI for black and white content and 150 PPI for colour content - Brad B

I haven't got the slightest idea how long you've been filming.

Does he have previous experience on camera? Because this felt really natural. Welcome to the screen Shawn!

Showing the sheet music was smart. A great use case!

For anyone that finds this usefull. I've had this tablet for 3 months dailying it and love it. This is not for someone deciding between an iPad and a Samsung Tablet. This is for someone that wants a space to think, to write, to learn, to organize. For someone who knows the benefits and limitations of an eink screen. The writing feels very natural. Reading technical papers and books is excellent and the tools it provides for note taking and highlighting are well thought out. It is very customizable and transferring files between the computer and the tablet is super fast and easy. It is a premium device, and it feels like it. If you were already thinking on a kindle, this is a very compelling option. The brand has a bigger more expensive one, and many smaller ones that can better fit your needs.

I think you'll find the resolution is actually 300ppi for b&W, 150 for colour

i have had mine for 6 months and for reading books, comcis, taking notes, and all around detoxing and winding down before bed , this thing is GREAT. Embracing the limitations of e-ink has been a real game changer for my day to day life.
