And yes, while it doesn't come pre-baked into the system, there is a way to access the full Google Play store – though I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than downloading an e-reading app, as the Boox still has an E Ink display and isn't made for games or video. This 10.3-inch tablet features a resolution of 227 DPI, runs on a customized version of the Android 11 operating system and even has its own app store, where you can download third-party apps that have been optimized for the device. The Boox Note Air 2 is the most tablet-like E Ink device I tested.
AUDIOBOOK BINDER ALTERNATIVE PDF
This is the cheapest E Ink tablet on our list, but it's still essentially just a PDF and note-taking device. Ultimately, I found this tablet to be incredibly useful. That means that you won't be able to access your Kindle content or any other epub books with digital rights management software, which includes almost all legally purchasable ebooks on the market. It also doesn't function particularly well as an e-reader, as the only formats it supports are PDF and unprotected epub. Even the cheapest Kindle now has front light illumination for night time use. Much like an actual book or notebook, this device requires an external light source to use in the dark. The biggest issue is that it lacks any kind of backlight, which could be a deal breaker. That being said, the ReMarkable 2 isn't without faults. The ReMarkable's thinness, two-week battery life, pen input and PDF management capabilities made this E Ink tablet my favorite for use in rehearsal. You can add pages to PDFs for extra notes or write in the margins with ease. Highlights automatically straighten themselves and turn a legible shade of gray without any needed adjustment. The screen has a paper-like feel, which gives the pen a level of friction that feels incredibly true to life. Practically speaking, it offers the most realistic writing experience of any tablet I've ever used. The included stylus doesn't require pairing or charging but supports tilt detection and a standard 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. That Connect service also does handwriting conversion and has Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive integration. It has 8GB of internal storage and an optional cloud storage service for $8 per month (after a 100-day free trial). The software is easy to use, with clear buttons at the top for you to add notebooks and folders. The writing and text looks clear and sharp, and you can choose from over 40 different page templates for notes, including seven options just for musical notation. This 10.3-inch tablet uses a monochrome digital display with a resolution of 226 DPI. It is only 0.19 inches thick and 0.88 pounds, which makes it light and easy to carry. The ReMarkable 2 is the best E Ink tablet to take lots of handwritten notes.
