RustyRedRobot Link ParentYes, really good for writing. Hands down better than an iPad or android tablet. It feels like pen and paper. The refresh rate is very adjustable, IE you can watch YouTube on it for instance.Yes, really good for writing. Hands down better than an iPad or android tablet. It feels like pen and paper.

The colour is nice, very muted, but makes a change from grey scale.
You can get it on Amazon with all its returns policy, so kind of try before you buy ....
I did get the Kindle scribe pen to go with it though, I need the eraser function!
Edit: It also runs onenote

Another request to auto vote a post that I click through, either the article or comments. Not enabled by default, of course.
I can then manually "unvote" if needed. But my rationale is that if it convinced me to read it or read the comments, it's worthy of my vote.
Cheers!

Comment on I found Frank Herbert’s Dune script. It’s hard to imagine a weirder film version of Dune than the one David Lynch released in 1984, but Frank Herbert found a way. Dune: Part Two is better. in ~movies

Just wanted to say thank you for actually posting a comment.
I get a bit bored of just seeing a YouTube URL posted with nothing else. Same for any link really. I tend to just ignore them as spam posts.
If people feel it's worthwhile to post then also say why and start the commentary.

I don't know the percentages, but I assume it's in the high nineties for being installed in an office environment?
I have often wondered why Microsoft doesn't have a boot option for "gaming mode" which has only the basic services required for running games, perhaps as a boot or reboot option, and has a very limited desktop or even only a dashboard style interface.
Maybe things are just too interconnected to allow for this.
Hi there! I really do prefer e-ink for note taking, its replaced my stack of papers and books immediately. And you can search for things, so makes it really easy to find notes you've made ages ago. That includes hand written text too, but that takes a bit long but does find things.
I don't, personally, annotate epubs but it is possible. PDFs are also good to annotate, and you can insert blank pages to assist.
Reddit has a r/Onyx_Boox and r/eink sub-reddits that can definitely give you more answers than me.
I would also recommend watching some of https://www.youtube.com/@KitBetts-Masters videos on the Note air 3c, there are lots like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4MEPtzsWPI (note taking highlights - 10m)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otSxY4XR7I8 (in depth - 50m)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96C40EM1CL8 (user guide)
In fact, he has a load of comparisons etc to help make an e-ink note taking purchase easier for you!
Also look at https://www.youtube.com/@MyDeepGuide videos on e-ink note taking.
