I've tried dozens of E Ink tablets, but this Android checks more of my boxes than any other

ZDNET reviews the Boox Note Air5 C e-ink tablet ($530), noting its improved pen feel (Pen3, 4,096 pressure levels), faster performance with reduced ghosting, robust Android 15-based note-taking and productivity features (layers, tags, templates, side-by-side apps), and a 10.3-inch Kaleido 3 color display; drawbacks include underwhelming AI utilities and a magnetic pen placement that can accidentally add pages. The device is recommended as a top note-taking option, positioned as cheaper than color e-ink competitors like Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and ReMarkable Paper Pro, with the Boox Note Go 10.3 suggested for users who don’t need color or a keyboard.
