Pros
- So you could look to the boox go 10.3 or the boox note max.
- Your cheapest option that will actually work for serious academic purposes is the Boox Go 10.3. It's b&w, no front light (you need ambient light or a lamp), writes nicely, runs full Android with apps, and costs around $400.
- Parent context: the Go 10.3 isn't really in the same class of device as these others since it's focused more on notes than on reading. Reply: You are correct about the Go 10.3, that exactly the feeling I had from it. But it is a shame, t...
- My money is on the Go 10.3. PDFs of technical books make me think 10” would be more comfortable than trying to make it work an 8.” You wouldn’t paying too much extra for the writing capabilities vs if you went with a standard eReader,...
- I bought a Boox go 10.3 and am very happy with it.
Cons
- Parent context: Just stumbled across the Boox Go 10.3 as well. That also seems to tick a lot of boxes. Any issues with that? I know it’s not water resistant and I’m not too fussed about that. I like the larger size Reply: I don't have it...
- I had experience with the Boox Go 10.3 and found out that it was too slow for iPad stuffs.
- The Boox Go 10.3 has a sharper and better looking display, but no backlight made it unusable for me. Even with the night lamp pointing directly towards it, it still seemed way too dark.
- I would love the Boox go 10.3 but it doesn’t have front light.
- I'm wavering between Boox Go 10.3 and Scribe. Has anyone found it inconvenient that Go doesn't have front light?

I like the larger size Reply: I don't have it so I can't say much, but it runs Android so the OS is not something I would describe as intuitive compared to the other options.

Reply: You are correct about the Go 10.3, that exactly the feeling I had from it. But it is a shame, the text clarity and "presence" is amazing, but that would not be the case if it had "backlit" screen I presume.

PDFs of technical books make me think 10” would be more comfortable than trying to make it work an 8.” You wouldn’t paying too much extra for the writing capabilities vs if you went with a standard eReader, plus you get an open device with good specs, great screen and battery life, and solid native reader.
