Following the first monochrome BOOX Nova Air, I got the color nova3 color.The subjective selection criteria for either one or not ...
I purchased Sony's first DPT-S1 "DPT-S1", the first domestic manufacturer of Sony, seven years ago, and replaced it with a subsequent model "DPT-RP1" four years ago.Three years ago, I replaced it with a slightly smaller A5 version of Fujitsu Quaderno and still used it.
Over the past 7 to 8 years, handwritten electronic paper tools have been missed at hand, but recently in the Japanese market, where only domestic manufacturers were players, a wonderful new model made in overseas ideas with different ideas.Has appeared.I immediately became an ONYX brand "BOOX".
Unlike a single -monopoly and solitary handwritten electronic paper, the biggest feature of BOOX is to equip the same global Android that is used in smartphones and tablets.As a matter of course, the maximum of the cloud storage functions, and the compatibility with peripheral devices such as PCs and smartphones seen from electronic paper is overwhelmingly dominant.

This time, I first got a monochrome BOOX Nova Air with a Yodobashi camera.He noticed that there was a color screen model with almost the same screen size and weight while using it, and he obtained additional BOOX Nova3 Color.Both use the 7.8 -inch E Ink panel, Android, and the resolution is 1872x1404 (300ppi).
Nova3 Color, which is almost the same size as monochrome nova Air, is only 30g, is attractive.
The color model is still developing, and if you compare it to a personal computer, it is a color -like color color like DSTN LCD during the mobile computing era.If you are familiar with the smartphone screen of an organic EL that jumps out before the latest, you will feel off.
NOVA3 COLOR's E Ink panel is like a nostalgic DSTN LCD mobile PC.
The black frame nova3 clor is a LCD and resolution of the same size as the gray frame nova air, but the color display is 624x468 (100 dpi) and one -third of the resolution.However, there was not much to feel the resolution difference in the actual operation.If you compare both aircraft at the same time, you can feel the difference between the panel used or the overall coloring.
In the monochrome mode, the resolution is the same, the color of the backlight E INK panel is slightly different.
The Nova Air is convenient by docking the dedicated smart cover options with a magnet function, allowing the cover side to the button switch attached to the cover side with the left and right rotation of the screen and the screen function.In the BOOX standard, the screen is usually provided and executed as one function of the navigationball in the app.
NOVA AIR can also operate a screenshin or screen rotation with a dedicated smart cover button.
The biggest effect on the user advantage of BOOX with Android is that you can use Google Play to download and install various Android apps as a very ordinary Android tablet.
All BOOX is equipped with Android and can be expanded as much as possible with the Google Play app.The app icon downloaded from the Play Store instead of a BOOX app store is a color icon when you take a screenshot.
Naturally, you can do anything depending on the application, such as web circulation and Gmail's receiving distributors.However, by using the seamless data linkage with smartphones, tablets, and PCs that are already used as a very easy handwritten electronic paper, the functions should survive.
ONYX app store has a major Google app that is optimized for BOOX, including Dropbox
The Japanese display of BOOX can be implemented by selecting Japanese in the introduction settings, but to input Japanese, it is necessary to download and install GBOARD on Google Play.Major Android apps such as Chrome, Evernote, Outlook, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft Word can be downloaded from BOOX app stores.
I use Dropbox in parallel as an external cloud storage in addition to the free cloud of ONYX
The author installs Chrome, GBOARD, Gmail, Calendar, Dropbox, etc. on both nova Air and Nova3 Color, and assigns Dropbox, which has been used for a long time in addition to BOOX standard free cloud, assigns an account as the main cloud storage. is doing.
