The most significant advantage of the applications store is that you will have access to your full library of books from your Kindle, Nook, and Kobo devices. You can also download the Libby app for library books, and Marvel Unlimited subscribers may use the app to view comics in color. The Note Air 2 comes with speakers and a microphone for listening to audiobooks via Audible or other audiobook applications.
Although this is an excellent selling feature for the gadget, we found the in-app experience to be less than optimal. Many of the features that distinguish the Note Air 2 are deactivated in third-party applications. You can’t, for example, use a pen to take notes or highlight passages in books on the Kindle app. Instead, you’ll have to write in the notes you wish to capture, just as you would with any other tablet app. To write directly on books, they must be in DRM-free ebook format. Fortunately, the Book supports a variety of formats, including PDF, epub, DOC, and Mobi.
The Note Air 2’s note-taking and PDF management capabilities are robust, though not as fluid as the ReMarkable 2. Highlights are not automatically corrected, and users must choose the marker’s color and width. The Note Air 2 has 16 grayscale color selections, but they all appear the same on the tablet, leaving highlights dark and smudged. The supplied stylus has 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity as well, however it lags significantly while writing across the page. On the positive side, audio recordings may be included for more accurate recollection. The Note Air 2 also allows you to open a PDF and a notepad in a split-screen view at the same time, allowing you to read and take notes at the same time.
The Boox Note Air 2, like the Kindle Paperwhite and Oasis, has a warm and cold front light to assist make the screen easier on the eyes and give it a more paper-like appearance. A swipe-down menu allows you to effortlessly change both lights. It also measures battery life in weeks rather than days.
While this tablet is by far the most costly on our list, it is also the most flexible of the E Ink tablets, performing well but not spectacularly.
You may have noticed that the business just unveiled a Note Air 2 Plus. We haven’t tested it, but it’s almost similar to the original Air 2 save for a larger battery, which makes it significantly heavier.
