In the spring of 2020, in the face of the anxiety and boredom brought about by the epidemic, in addition to learning rice cooker cake, cold skin, milk tea at home... In addition, don't forget to take time out to read more books and newspapers. Because of the various unknown challenges, the best preparation we can do is to constantly enrich ourselves.
The season of the year is in the spring, while we discuss reading, we also share with you a reader that just went on sale on March 23, the latest model of the Aragonite Nova series: BOOX Nova2.

7.8 inch flat ink screen, how to make people fall in love with reading at a glance?
The front of the BOOX Nova2 is a 7.8-inch flat ink screen, minimalist and exquisite black border, with a hand-drawn screensaver outlined by ink lines, just holding it in your hand, it makes people feel a sense of peace. Hi, it's time to read a book quietly!
The Nova2 weighs only 260g and has a body thickness of 7.7mm, so it is effortless to pick up with one hand.
The material on the back of the fuselage is skin-friendly, and it is light and textured to the touch. You can also put it in the pocket or bag of your coat, and you can carry it without saying.
There is a Type-C interface at the bottom of the fuselage, and it supports Qualcomm 3.0 fast charging. The battery capacity has also increased by 12% compared with the previous generation, reaching 3150mAh, and if you read for two or three hours a day, it is no problem to use it for a few days. Coupled with the 3+32GB storage combination, it can be said that the sense of security on the hardware is enough.
Since the development of the reader, the stylus has gradually become the standard, and the Nova2 is no exception. The Nova2's screen supports a 4096-level pressure-sensitive electromagnetic stylus, which means that you can draw different stroke sizes by controlling the pressure level.
Don't move the pen and ink, don't read, hold up the ink screen, pick up the stylus, well, there is a taste of reading inside.

Adjustable two-color temperature front light system, from now on to achieve "light freedom"?
Nova2 is equipped with a cool and warm two-color temperature adjustable front light system, supporting dual 32 levels of brightness simulcasting, whether in the outdoor spring light, or in the bedroom light, you can freely switch to the screen brightness and color temperature that makes the eyes comfortable.
In addition, the resolution of 1404x1872 and the ppi of 300 also make this screen clear and delicate enough in the senses, allowing you to enlarge and reduce the document, and the text is as clear as ever.
In terms of refresh speed, Nova2 supports 4 refresh modes, normal, fast, rapid, X refresh. However, with the increase of the refresh speed, the display quality will also decrease, for example, at the "X refresh" speed, the text will look like there will be a more obvious loss of detail, but the experience of playing the video is not bad.
In order to minimize the obstruction of reading content, Nova2 has made the operation tool of the page floating, which can be expanded or hidden as needed.
Similar to the suspension toolbar, there is also a suspension menu that is always on standby on the screen, also known as the suspension ball. The function menu inside the floating ball can be customized according to your own needs. Unlike the previous generation, the Nova2's hovering balls have added two new arrangement modes of vertical and horizontal rows, and can increase the number of hovering balls to a maximum of 9.

Split-screen display, reading, comparison, note-taking, translation at the same time
In addition, Nova2's split-screen function also adds a lot to the reading experience.
You can display a document in two pages, similar to the page column function in Word. You can also read two documents in contrast, for example, to see two different planning schemes. Or, one page to show the content of the document, one page to take notes, look, just don't miss any opportunity for you to take notes.
In addition, Nova2's split-screen synchronous translation function supports real-time translation between nearly 20 languages such as Chinese, English, and Japanese, which is still very practical for friends who usually need to read various foreign language materials or foreign original books.

Full-format handwriting, notes are saved inline in real time
In order to make you use both hands and brains, Wenshi has also made sufficient efforts in handwriting.
Nova2 supports 20+ formats of PDF, EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, DOCX, DJVU and other documents, and the notes are directly merged in the document, which means that you can export and print a document with notes. And this document copied to another BOOX, still showing the original handwriting content.
For many people, different colors are the soul of notes, so Nova2 still supports 8 kinds of note colors in the world of ink, but it needs to be exported before it can be seen.
The key sentences and annotations drawn out during the reading process can be synchronized to the third-party note application with one click, and the current support is Ado Cloud Notes and Evernote.

Give you a pen to create endless possibilities
Nova2 comes with its own note-taking application, built-in dot matrix, horizontal line, vertical line, stave, square, as well as task management, meeting notes and other 30+ templates, to meet the background needs of different scenarios. The strokes and colors can also be adjusted to your liking.
Handwritten notes can also be translated into formal digital documents through AI handwriting recognition. In addition, if you are too lazy to write it, the Nova2 also adds a pinhole microphone under the fuselage to support voice input.
However, I personally prefer to use the note-taking function to do schematic, or creative content such as writing, drawing, etc., because for acute people, although the speed and sensitivity of this stylus have reached a high level in the industry, it still cannot meet our writing needs.
Compared with the previous generation, Nova2 also supports collaboration and data synchronization with the web terminal and BOOX assistant APP.
Just bind the same account, you can achieve data sharing between different terminals through cloud backup, WiFi, Bluetooth, wired, one-click sharing and other forms, the information mentioned here is not only notes, but also includes a variety of files, books, pictures, music, videos, and even WeChat articles.
For some of the more important materials, such as an internal meeting record or personal diary, the document can be encrypted by setting a password to ensure the security of the data.
Now that you have both paper and pencil, whether you can create the world or not depends on you.

Just "don't cover the noodles" and listen to the music
Nova2 is built into the Android 9.0 system, so you can freely download different third-party applications. And Nova2 has also optimized the ink screen of the APP in the application market, such as WeChat Reading, kindle, NetEase Cloud Music, Today's Headlines, Zhihu and other applications have a good reading experience.
For the APP of dragging or sliding mode reading, Nova2 can support virtual keys to turn the page, otherwise the experience of sliding reading is estimated to make people heat up immediately (urgent death).
If you don't want to see third-party apps doing small actions in private (self-start or sneaking), you can also freeze all third-party APPS with one click, which is still very humane.
In fact, both BOOX and other readers on the market are working hard to optimize people's reading needs, and constantly improve the productivity of the product itself to avoid falling into the spell of "cover noodles". At the end of the day, it's a long quest for technology to change people's reading habits.
