Color screen comparison between the IPS LCD display of Macbook Air and Kaleido 3 color E Ink display from BOOX Note Air 5C. The color saturation and color accuracy of the Kaleido 3 display are limited but still good enough for displaying manga, magazines and pictures.

the screen exhibits a slight greenish tint too

Comparing screen brightness at 0%, 50% and 100% in a room with normal lighting, there is almost no visible difference between 0% and 50% brightness in broad daylight. You can completely turn off front light when reading in the afternoon.

you can completely turn off the front light when reading in the afternoon and if you also disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Boox Note Air 5C can last up to 2 weeks on a single charge.

Comparing reading on physical paper to reading on an e-reader, Boox Note Air 5C. I can now read for much longer without eye fatigue, paperless, note-taking, a dictionary with just one touch and AI to explain concepts instantly. Life has never been this easy as an intellectual 🤓

Apple Safari vs Google Chrome vs Firefox, which web browser do you enjoy using the most on your MacBook Air as of 2026? Why?

One of the best things about the Boox Note Air 5C is that it has BooxDrop which is a really fast and easy way to upload or download books from my laptop, Ipad and smartphone to the e-reader device. It is so good that I also use it as a medium to transfer big files between my Macbook Air and Ipad.

Pro tip: Don’t use the origami case to stand your BOOX Note air 5c because the case will eventually break from being folded back and forth so often, the angle is also too steep. Using an Airpods case works much better the angle is just right for note-taking.

3rd party note-taking apps are slow, native note-taking app only has 18 different colors. 18 colors may be enough for note-taking but they are not enough for drawing and painting. Please update the native app and add more colors.

Nowadays, many e-readers can use a stylus for note-taking. Do you use your e-reader for drawing too? For me, yes I read a lot and I also draw a lot with my e-reader.It's a Boox note air 5c. We’ve come a long way since the first e-reader device.

Short review for Boox Note Air 5C, it offers a good price compared to Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, fast refresh rate, color screen is good enough for colored pages, large screen is great for reading scientific papers, note-taking feels better than on Ipad. The downsides are the battery life

The downsides are the battery life and the lack of continuous pages in note-taking. Overall it’s a 9/10 for me.

This is my small studio condominium. It has a great view. I wish it were bigger because I want to make it my personal library but yeah going digital and using ebooks is also a good alternative.

Explain your perfect conditions for reading an eBook with an ebook reader. For me it’s a quiet Sunday morning or a heavily rainy night. I also enjoy having a cold soft drink like Lipton Ice Tea while reading.

I have a question for people who use Boox origami cases that fold into a stand for e-readers, if you fold them frequently for many years will there be visible crease marks or damage along the folding lines?
