This article is transferred from what is worth buying user "Li Yuanxin" comments on BOOX NoteX, which has been published with the authorization of the author.
I am probably the oldest batch of e-paper book users, the earliest contact with e-paper books is around 2009, Hanwang N510, that is, the cover picture C bit of this machine.
It accompanied me through many classrooms where I peeked at novels under my desk. These ten years apart a few years want to buy a new electric paper book, especially in the last two years, has been paying attention but delayed in doing, mainly because of the price, the price of three or four thousand, indeed for reading some hesitation. Because obviously PDF+ printers are more affordable. But after having an electric paper book, you will find that the characteristics of this electronic data will indeed bring a different good experience than the paper physical book, especially the release of noteX to pull the price to 2500.
Of course, if I buy it myself, I may hesitate to wait until I can touch the physical machine, but my girlfriend's fierce order Lumi2 made me immediately make the decision to choose NOTE X (right here to sprinkle a handful of dog food) ~ ~
Reason for choosing noteX
My needs can only be met by Aragonite (I can browse the web, see Zhihu, the open Android system can install some brushing software), so there is no hesitation in brand selection, and the hesitation is between the various models of Aragonite.
Originally my girlfriend secretly ordered a Lumi2, always feel that closing my eyes to buy the most expensive one will not be wrong, but for my needs The price of Lumi2 is really high, and because I have a certain need to carry, the weight and size of Lumi2 are more troublesome.
13.3 inches, about the size of A4 paper, it will be more convenient to read PDFs, but because the size of the PDF paper books I often read is the size of the sixteen opens of normal typography (the two books in the middle of the cover picture are sixteen open, but the white "Long Things" is slightly smaller than the "Chinese Art and Culture" at the bottom, and the "Chinese Art and Culture" should be a more standard sixteen open), so in fact, 10.3 cut a cut while squeezing a squeeze is almost enough.
Of course, 13.3 this size I also want to have, the price of nearly six thousand does need more poke me points may choose to buy it, such as high brush, display effects to match the legendary generation of divine machine MAX catra, the appearance of the same as progress. The reason why note5+ was not chosen was because it had a larger spread than X
note5+ 3980 yuan, noteX 2580 yuan, the key is 5+ There are two problems that make me finally give up,
1. Battery life weight. The endurance of 5+ is 1000 mAh smaller than X (note5 + 3000 mA, noteX4000 mAh), but the weight is only 38g lighter, of course, note5 + uses an aluminum alloy back plate, which will be more textured (noteX's back plate should be plastic but the texture is also very good).
2. Appearance. NoteX's gray-white border will be more immersive to reading, and will not be as obvious as the difference between the dark shell and the light display area of the traditional electric paper book, and I also prefer this horizontal design.
Electric paper books and paper books have their own advantages
General professional books are only a hundred or so, if it is online to find resources to print out is cheaper, compared to the NOTE X before the nearly four thousand dollars of electric paper books are more painful, but the physical book is very occupied, especially many books are going to be used at that time, or for example, you find a PDF, want to see quickly, print or buy books to wait a while, then the advantages of electric paper books are reflected.
Open-ended paper books can browse bits and pieces of information on the Internet, such as software that knows a type of text message. You can also install WeChat reading to read the public account, or even if you directly search for the title of the article you want to see on the Internet WeChat, it is much more comfortable to read than the small screen of the mobile phone.
The two small triangles in the lower right are tuned out of the whole screen page turning function, click to turn the whole screen without manual sliding (after all, the refresh rate of the electric paper book slide is not very comfortable) Many people may wonder why they have to use the electric paper book to read these, the phablet what is not fragrant, the answer is not fragrant, because the eyes are uncomfortable! For people whose eyes are more sensitive to strobes and who are prone to uncomfortable looking at actively illuminated screens, the display characteristics of electric paper books are irreplaceable by other screens (it is said that the full-reflective display is also in line with my needs and the refresh rate is more suitable for browsing the web but has not touched the real thing).
Electric paper books have the characteristics of electronic equipment easy to delete and modify annotations, while solving the electronic screen on the eye stimulation, as far as my needs are concerned, in addition to the ink screen itself brought by the low refresh rate, electric paper books than other common electronic screens are more fragrant.
Compared with traditional paper books, electronic products limited by the media must have problems such as not being able to quickly flip through and find, and not easily marking intuitively, but these can be partially compensated by software functions.
For example, click on the middle of the reading page to view these contents, tags, comments, etc. (Because my scanned version of the file is colored, so the screenshot is colored, in fact it is gray, white and black, and the same is true for the screenshot color picture below)
If you want to quickly find a page, you can also open this small thumbnail
The local reader of Theperistone is very easy to use, handwriting is just a need for reading, it is very convenient to write with a pen, and the strokes are accurate.
And it can be sharpened for text and images, which is useful in the actual reading of some scanned PDFs.
Most of the PDFs in my hand are scanned versions, and for those files that are not very good to scan, Theisperi reader can also make some optimization adjustments to improve the reading experience.
Contrast with the base color and size of the kindle
Note X's base color is slightly cooler than the kindle paperwhite3? Basically no difference
The difference between 10.3 and 5 inches is still quite obvious
File transfer
Lan transmission to each other, very convenient. The electric paper book and the computer are connected to the same WiFi, the computer logs on to the website, the machine opens the mutual transmission, no need to plug the wire or use the software to reverse back and forth, which is very convenient.
Handwriting experience
The precision of the pen, the comfort of holding, the value of the face are very high, the screen comes with a frosted film, and the experience of handwriting is very good.
In actual use, I did not feel the delay that affected the sense of experience, and it was very convenient to write notes during the reading process, except that the pen itself did not have an eraser to change when I needed to click every time it was very troublesome, and I may need to match another one later.
The brush works well, and although it is electronic, the weight of the actual press can also be reflected in the stroke form. The picture above is a word written with a pen line width of 11, and small actions such as the slight starting and closing of the pen tip cannot be recognized, which is quite different from the real paper and pen performance in the context of word practice.
But enough to meet the daily needs, usually writing notes can have a change in weight or very convenient, especially in the process of reading marks, sometimes see the excitement of the place circle outline will be heavier, stroke form can be a good simulation.
Including some simple drawing functions, the use of lasso, insert text picture recording, etc., can be written and drawn entertainment and can be used as a study note.
summary
Not to sum it up, think about it quite emotionally, in the past ten years, the electric paper book from the initial can even WiFi feel very advanced, to the current installation of APP are not strange, inadvertently how much the era has changed. I hope that in the near future, electric paper books will become more and more perfect electronic products that are no longer niche.
Han Wang, who has served for more than ten years, can't turn on the computer this summer, plug in the computer to light up the purple light, charge the power and press the boot button to light the blue light but do not press the blue light will go out, who knows what the problem is also trouble to guide me a bit, intermittently used for so long I want to fix it ... · Thanks!
Finally put this head map on it, the last electric paper book was bought by the father, this one was bought by the girlfriend, and the next one had to be bought by the wife
