“#The Boox Note Air is the Android-powered Kindle alternative I needed<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

I read several thousand pages of books every year, but I\u2019m not the type of person who feels attached to physical books. I\u2019ve been fully immersed in Amazon\u2019s Kindle ecosystem for years now, sometimes reading on my phone, sometimes on my laptop, and sometimes listening through Audible. Getting an e-reader that wasn\u2019t a Kindle never really occurred to me.<\/p>\n

And then I tried the Boox Note Air<\/a>. It does almost everything a Kindle Oasis does, but it also supports a surprisingly useful stylus and has a giant 10.3-inch screen. At $480, it\u2019s pricey, but the price feels totally fair given the screen size and features on offer (and the company just announced a smaller, $350 7.8-inch model<\/a>). I kind of love it.<\/p>\n

The best way to summarize the Boox Note Air is that it\u2019s really just an Android tablet with an e-ink screen and a book-centric UI. That means it can do almost everything an Android tablet can, as long you don\u2019t need smooth framerates and, you know color (although Boox also has a colorful e-reader<\/a> I\u2019m currently testing too).<\/p>\n
