1 Month later: BYOK seen in library in Portugal
I firstly discovered BYOK by accident when I was scrolling YouTube. Loved the idea and decided to give a try since I always wanted a device like this, maybe this time I will finally finish my first book :).
The shipping: Took more or less one month from USA to here and unfortunately I had to pay taxes :(
Still very much cheaper than the Freewrite. The support also seems great, even joined the discord server to help improve the app.
The good:
- Portability: I really love the case and the size of it, perfectly made for the Byok.
- Keyboard Connectivity: My Asus keyboard connects instantly to the BYOK :), just turn it on and it’s connected.
- Support from the team: responsive and fast.
- Disk mode: the only way I use to transfer data to my pc. WiFi seemed less reliable
-Studio app seems quite good but to be honest I just don’t use it much.
The downsides: Not many…
- Didn’t found a way to rename files (or am I missing something?)
- Maybe a password protection system to unlock the device (no idea if it is possible to do)
- No Portuguese language support (but I understand it takes time). Still I am writing with the Spanish keyboard which is not very different.
-Don’t know if it just with me but while doing hotspot with iPhone, Byok tends to not connect to the network. Sometimes works, others not really.
Hoping to use the device a lot in the future :)
