![]() I’ll be honest – I’m not quite sure how this website will pan out. So, I made this website to provide accurate information about the range of products that are available in this technological niche that will (hopefully) help others who are looking for a digital note-taking solution. A lot of reviews are pure BS, and it is difficult for the average user to understand the features of each device without making a purchase – I certainly struggled to obtain the buying information I was searching for. One thing I noticed during my research into e-ink tablets is that there really isn’t much information about them on the Internet. ![]() Of all the e-ink tablets I’ve tested, this is the one that provides me with the best of both analogue and digital. Today, my goto tablet is the Supernote A5 X. But I just really liked the quirks and eccentricities of each device and decided to keep them all. I originally thought I’d buy them, see what they could do, then send them back or resell them. Whilst the Max Lumi did what I needed it to, I gradually developed an interest in other e-ink tablets and started buying more of them to add to my collection. ![]() Now, it wasn’t perfect, and there are plenty of improvements that could be made to it, but on the whole, I was overjoyed with this device and used it almost every day for both work and personal stuff. I felt that I would never find a solution combining the best features of both a digital and paper-based system.Īnd then, I saw an advertisement for the reMarkable 2 – a tablet that was as close to writing on paper as possible.Īt this point, I didn’t actually buy the reMarkable 2 (although I do have one now), but it prompted me to look deeper into this new-fangled e-ink technology.Īnd in the end, I bought the Onyx Boox Max Lumi 2. It was smooth and sometimes even squeaky, and the stylus glided far too easily over the glossy surface. It didn’t have the same feeling as writing on paper. The backlight/blue light from the LCD screen was too bright, even when set to low, and the glassy texture made the writing feel somehow ‘wrong’. It took me several more months to figure out exactly what this was. So, I decided to invest in a laptop and a mobile phone with built-in styluses ( for those that are interested, I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite and an Acer Chromebook Spin 713).Īlthough these devices improved the note-taking experience considerably because I could now actually write on the screen, something was still missing. For me, there is something wonderfully therapeutic and satisfying about the writing experience, which I just couldn’t get from typing on a keyboard. ![]() I persisted with digital note-taking for several months, but despite my being able to organise my notes better and easily find old notes, it didn’t feel quite right and sometimes felt rather stressful.Įventually, I realised that this was because I missed holding a pen and actually writing. Eventually, I decided on Google Keep as my note-taking app of choice. I tried a few different apps Google Keep, Microsoft OneNote and Evernote, to name a few. And, if I made a mistake, it was difficult to erase or undo. Searching through old notes would also be very time-consuming. My girlfriend would buy me a Leuchtturm1917 every Christmas and I would use it as my journal for the year.īut, the more notebooks I filled, the more storage space I needed. I previously used paper notebooks to record my thoughts, ideas and plans. Buying them has become a bit of an addiction! Here’s the story of how I got into e-ink tablets… I don’t really need this many – one would suffice – but I actually love playing around with them and learning about the capabilities and use cases of each device. I use these little gadgets every day for: Back row, from left to right: Supernote A5X, Boox Tab Ultra, Boox Max Lumi 2. Here’s a picture of me with some of the tablets I own. I have a bit of a passion for e-ink writing tablets.
