Note Air Lags on handwriting apps - by dori123 with 1 comments
Just got my Note Air and downloaded some of the go-to notetaking apps (Bamboo Paper, Squid, Inkredible, OneNote, Evernote). All are really unusable due to the latency of the pen. In other words, I write something and two beats later, it appears. The native Notes app is great, but lacks templates.
Did I get a lemon, or do your handwritten notes take a sec to appear on the non-native app? This might be a deal-killer for me.
Also, where do you get some basic Notes templates?
TIA
Good matte screen protector for Nova 2? - by tomkatt with 0 comments
Anyone know a good matte protector for Nova 2? I don’t care too much about the writing experience, but I’m hoping there’s a screen protector that’s good for cutting down glare on the display. By default it’s got a bit more glare than my old Kindle and the protector included was glossy/reflective looking.
Poke 3 - Animation filter doesn’t work - by ryologic with 0 comments
Using Scridb, animation filter doesn’t seem to change how the page turns are refreshed no matter what I set it to.
It always shows a choppy ‘slide’ animation.
Anyone else run into this or have a fix?

Looking for opinions on Nova 3 vs Note Air or 8 vs 10" - by justsosimple with 0 comments
Hey all, I’m really interested in picking up a new Eink tablet and I’m very drawn to Onyx devices, specifically the Nova 3 and the Note Air. I’m happy that the functionality of the two is essentially identical, but I’m looking for some perspectives on the form factors. My primary use cases are:
I’m basically curious to hear from people who have used both form factors which gives the best balance of handleability vs functionality. I’m certain the Air would be superior from a functionality standpoint given the extra space, but is it too limited by size and weight to be as effective as the Nova between each use case? I think my ultimate solution would be to eventually get both! But in the meantime, advice on which to pick up first is much appreciated! Sorry for the ramble and thanks very much.
Embedded PDF Error - by r2-alu with 0 comments
I have a Note Air, when I markup a pdf with scribble notes and embed them into the pdf, I receive an error that the pdf file cannot open when transferring it to a computer (I tried opening it with acrobat and browser pdf viewers).
Can anyone help me with this or is receiving the same issue?
Being able to write in the margins of my pdf and have it combined into one file would work very well for my use case.
Installing third-party dictionaries on Note Air - by Michawoju with 0 comments
I tried installing a more substantive dictionary as per these instructions:
Reddit - Onyx_Boox - Guide to add dictionaries to Onyx Boox Nova 2 / Note 2 / Pro. https://www.reddit.com/r/Onyx_Boox/comments/gqhace/guide_to_add_dictionaries_to_onyx_boox_nova_2/
Unfortunately, while I can chose the downloaded (and transfered via a USB stick to the dict-Folder) as a prefered dictionary, it has no content. I tried 3 different dictionaries so far. Did anyone experience the same issue and maybe came up with a solution? Thanks in advance.
Longevity/Reliability of Onyx Boox devices - by hiraeth768 with 0 comments
Hi all, I’m really wanting to invest in a Onyx Boox device, but am worried that the device would die on me prematurely. I heard that kindle devices can last for years and years. Last thing I want is to spend $300 on something that will die on me in a year. Any current Boox device owner that could vouch for the reliability of Onyx Boox devices?

Good gadgets to complete my Note Air? - by TheRantingSailor with 0 comments
So, I live in Europe but planning on making a purchase through GoodEReader soon… But because it will have to go through customs anyways, I am thinking to buy more than one item to make it worth it. Here is my question; which of the following do you consider useful / do you think has better alternatives?
- the new Note Air cover (is it really good? I have the first one, and I do like it, but it’s not amazing. I also wonder if the pen holder in the back wouldn’t be botherseome?)
- the USB-C Dock, so I can transfer items without wifi (which could be handy since wifi hardly works at my office)
- the wireless keyboard (how does the Note Air perform with the keyboard? Are there alternatives that are better that I could get from Amazon?)
Note 3 Wifi Issues, Help! - by Sam1129 with 0 comments
I just received a brand new Note 3 and it can’t connect to anything other than the Boox servers.
It can download apps from the Boox store and sign into my Onyx account, but when I try to sign into my Google or Microsoft accounts it says that there is no wifi connection. None of my other devices have problems with wifi.
I’ve tried everything: making sure I’m on my slower network, making sure firmware is up to date, restarted the device, restarted my router, waited an hour then tried it all again. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, what’s the fix?
Boox Poke 3 free case doesn’t stay closed? - by xcleru with 0 comments
The free case which came with my Poke 3 was the non-micro tape case, and the Poke 3 fits snugly inside the plastic. The only problem is, the flap has an adhesive that doesn’t stick when closed. Is this part supposed to be magnetic? It actually doesn’t send the device to sleep since it’s basically only a sticker and the flap moves around.

How can I export my handwritten notes from pdfs and epubs to EverNote? - by ranttila with 0 comments
When I read books, I like to underline phrases I want to remember, as well as make lines along the margins for the same reason. I bought a Boox Note2 for just this reason: using the stylus to mark up e-books. I want to export these annotations to EverNote for quick reference if I want to recall the phrases I have marked up. I have downloaded EverNote on my Boox Note2 and have got the books I want to read set up. I have also made annotations on one book just to test to see if I can transfer them over to EverNote. However, I cannot figure out how to do so. Could I get some help? Thanks.
Is it possible to export handwritten notes as text (TXT) on the Onyx Boox Note Air? - by Techbebe28 with 0 comments
I just bought and set up an Onyx Boox Note Air, and I was absolutely loving it for note taking until I discovered a limitation to export handwritten notes as text. I was watching a video on YouTube and the Onyx device that was featured in the video had an option to export as a TXT file. Is there a reason why this feature is not available on the Onyx Boox Note Air? Converting my hand written notes to text and exporting to another app is one of the main reasons that I bought this device. Please let me know if there’s a way that I can get this option on my device.
TL;DR: does the Onyx Boox Note Air have an option to export text as TXT and not just a PDF?
Active Stylus for Poke 3 - by taiwanese_9999 with 0 comments
Recently order poke 3 from official shop, may receive in next week. I knew , there is no note taking layer for this model , those wacom EMR stylus won’t work on this model. I just wanna memo down something like shopping list or to-do list. Not writing long paragraph. and won’t take care too much on latency. Did anyone tried active stylus on this model? Or should I just buy passive stylus ? Personally didn’t have good time with dish type stylus from around 8 years ago,and silicon tip type stylus is not so accurate IMO. I would rather use my finger.
Mind maps with Boox Note Air? - by casettedeck with 0 comments
Is there a drawing application that you use that works fine with Note Air? I’d like to draw workflows or mind maps that I can export preferably in vector format(bitmap works fine). And my drawing skills are bad so I don’t want to do free hand sketches. Have you tested anything from Play Store?
