      What do you need it for?

      It isn’t up to snuff for reading Comic Books or Graphic Novels, and it’s worse experience than a good Non-Color E-ink display. Which is saying it’s worse for the vast vast majority of books you will read.

      I’m not sure why it exists other than it has to - in order for a better version to eventually come out. R&D isn’t free.

        I have the Boox Onyx Note 3c. Its a color e-ink and its okay for comics. But I mainly use it for note taking. The colors are helpful for more detailed notes. The eink display makes it easier in my eyes especially for long days of note taking.

            Yeah. The color definitely isn’t a replacement for an actual comic or graphic novel. It’s good enough to give you an idea of what it should look like. And I agree. If you have no need for the color, then black and white is going to be much better.

          How do you like it for note taking? Does it convert handwriting to type? That is one of my dream features that I’ve yet to hear has become robust
