For those of you who have a #onyx #boox ebook reader:
For mine, a Poke3, the last firmware update was from December 2023.
Has anyone played around with some custom roms so far?
I know that there has been no security update since 2,5y.
I don't really like that.Tbh, I try to only connect to my mobile phone, if I need an internet connection. -

My almost 3 year old Onyx Boox Note Air2 Plus got another update (4.4.1) and it looks like a very good one:
- stylus calibration seems much more accurate
- even more responsive writing 😳
- e-ink settings revamped again (previous update had simplified settings, glad to see some tuning has returned) -
I have an #OnyxBoox #NoteAir 1 , and I'm thinking about upgrading to a Note Air 5 Colour.
They seem to have the same processor, or at least processor information is not very clear. I would have hoped that the NoteAir5 would be faster than the 1. I'm using #Zotero for Android, and making handwritten notes on pdf with the Air1 is so slow that even writing very slowly, the screen lags one letter behind.
So, does anybody have an Air5C or an #BooxNoteAir4C ? Are they faster ?
#Boox #BooxNote #BooxNoteAir5C -
@Bishopjoey I have an Note Air 1, and am very happy with it. However, I'm using it with Tusky and Zotero. So wouldn't know about Kobo.

Summary link: https://claude.ai/share/988d2d39-5ff7-4030-b42b-828152c75b6e
Bauman explores how the meaning of poverty shifts as society moves from a producer society to a consumer society — where the poor become “flawed consumers” rather than a “reserve army of labor.”

社会が「生産者社会」から「消費者社会」へと変化する中で、
貧困の意味も変わっていく――
貧しい人々は「労働の予備軍」ではなく「欠陥のある消費者」として扱われるようになった、とバウマンは述べている。

Onyx BOOX Note Air5 C is a 10.3 inch color E Ink tablet with pen and keyboard support
The Onyx BOOX Note Air5 C is a new E Ink tablet that’s almost identical to the BOOX Note Air4 C that launched a year ago. But while the upgrades are small enough that nobody should consider trading in the old model for a new one, they could make the 2025 model a little more attractive to new buyers.
Available now from Amazon or the BOOX Shop for $530, like last year’s model, the Note Air5 […]

Lilbits: A super ultra-wide handheld gaming PC, an official Raspberry Pi SSD, and the next Onyx BOOX Palma could be a color E Ink phone
Most modern gaming handhelds have displays with 16:9 or 16:10 displays. Some models aimed at retro gamers might have 4:3 screens. But one Chinese hardware hacker made a handheld using one of those ultra-wide 32:9 displays that are often used in automotive systems, but which are increasingly used for personal computers as well.

Lilbits: A cyberdeck with a 2 inch CRT display, a 25.3 inch E Ink monitor, and the final nail in the coffin for LG’s smartphones
Cyberdecks are portable computers that often have a retro-futuristic design. Often that’s achieved by hobbyists who combine modern hardware (like a Raspberry Pi or a similar single-board computer) with vintage tech.
But one of the coolest… and possibly most useless cyberdeck’s I’ve seen so far takes things to another level by fusing a 2 inch black and white CRT display from 1980s-era Sony […]

Onyx BOOX is bringing stylus support to its 7 inch eBook readers, starting with the new Onyx BOOX Go Color 7 (Gen II) and Onyx BOOX Go 7.
As the name suggests, the model with a color display is a modest update over last year’s Onyx BOOX Go Color 7. The only obvious changes I see in the spec sheet are stylus support and an Android 13-based operating system (up from Android 12), but it’s […]

@riley E-ink tablet, FYI.
It has no SIM capability, no camera, though there are a mic and speakers. I keep authenticated apps to an absolute minimum (Pocket is that exception), though I'm thinking of adding email to it. Jitsi meet might be a voice comms option.
TL;DR: excellent for reading, good for Web (use Einkbro: https://github.com/plateaukao/einkbro), quite good for podcasts, notetaking suprisingly good, multiple firmware upgrades over the past 2.5 years, which I consider good support (exceeds any prior Android device). Reasonably un-googled (no Google Play or Google registration), though still Android. Heavy use of F-Droid and Aurora Stores.
More recent releases double onboard storage. I'd still prefer to see ~512 GB (it's cheap). Document management is a major weakness.
I've written a few reviews and reflections mostly at Hacker News. Meta-review linking others: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36965197
From that:
June 2021: 3 month review: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27521248
September 2021: Benefits of a large-format e-ink handheld display for reading, and why the main problem with PDFs is actually computer displays generally: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28612615
October 2021: On battery life: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28745230 TL;DR: "the battery life published by Onxy is best considered "value never to be exceeded". The weeks-long battery longevity is based on about an hour of daily use, presumably with frontlight and radios disabled and minimal page-turning." That said, yes, as an e-book reader the battery life is excellent. Web browsing, by comparison, sucks battery at about 10x the rate.

Related topic, E-Ink Design Principles for Web and Applications:
- Persistence is free
- Paints are expensive
- Refreshes are slow
- Colours are very limited or nonexistent
- Line art displays beautifully. Raster images not so much
- Pagination navigation is strongly preferred to scroll
- Graphics are reflective rather than emissive
- Touch / Wacom may exist
- Feature detection capabilities are limited, particularly for HTML/Web (via media queries).
