The Wave - B&W | 7.8"

Writing tablet that does its job as an infinite piece of paper that can store your writing & drawings digitally with Android and waterproofing = absolutely perfect for me.

I’ve had a cheap e-ink monitor for the last year and a half. I understand the lag and other aspects of e-ink that throw people off when switching from a lit screen, so I was happy to take a chance on the Wave. I love it enough that I ended up getting a second one just in case.

Most e-ink devices are WAY out of my budget, but I write enough that notebook & pens end up costing at least $20/mo, so e-ink pays itself off :)

Tips:

> Cut down a plastic screen protector to size. Taked a bit to get the bubbles out it will protect your screen from scratches *regardless of stylus tip material* (including titanium & ceramic). They’re super cheap.

> I personally use the native note app, keep the Play Store disabled, and transfer files to/from my phone with a flashdrive to keep things running smoothly!

I like the note taking element and also how the kindle app loads seamlessly.

I would like to see a way to quickly switch between taking notes and reading a book- I often read educational books and it would be a lot of help to be able to quickly jot down a note from what I’m reading.

Also, maybe a magnetic attachment for the pen/stylus would be helpful- something that would hold it in place while reading.

I have this now as a new device and boox. This hardware is fantastic- please learn more about how to improve the software and just improve human interaction section. How do you expect your users to keep your scribe pen with the device??

I tried the Wave for three days, and it simply doesn’t have the stable functionality that I need to do some very basic things.

It's worth the price, but the case is very rare.
