Supernote Nomad A6X2 review - my thoughts after a week and a half
#supernote #eink #impression
I've now spent about a week and a half with the Ratta Supernote A6X2 Nomad eink device. Here is my review after using it all that time. I also compare PDF reading on it vs the Boox Note Air 3 and 3C. Will this be the device I decide to keep?

    Thanks for this. I love tech so after watching 9000 videos and scoring Reddit, i ordered the NomD snd received it yesterday. And yes, the screen is definitely rough in the corners. I played with it for a little bit and it actually felt TOO techie. I have a 13" laptop, a Samsung Galaxy Ultra, and sn iPad so i think i need more pf a hybrid so i ordered a Rocketbook Pro Executive notebook. I realized that most of the review talk about the ereader, which im not interested in. So i figured the Nomad would be perfect for writing. I am a speech pathologist and i just want something to write data therapy sessions and for my Portuguese notes. I have flourescent lighting at work, which i think will impact the screen visibility. Thanks for the great, unsponsored review!

    You could prepare better. Why don’t you discuss the functioning of the Kindle app on the Boox when comparing? Having that vast difference in font sizes between the 3 and the 3c and the Kindle makes your review useless for a viewer interested in using the 3 as a reading device for Kindle books. And when showing us the 3 screen you failed to get in focus for more than a second.

    Maybe it's because I work from home and am used to charging my devices regularly but I am impressed that I typically get about a week of battery out of my Note Air 3C. I use it daily for reading and note taking (started playing sudoku which has me using it a bit more). But I still get about a week on a full charge. I find it very rare that I actually need to use any of the lighting. I am fine with just the ambient light from my house which uses yellow tinted warm lighting). So that might be part of it. But I love my 3C for sure and do thoroughly enjoy the colors for digital planning and book highlighting.

      I am quite late but from seeing other content creators, apparently not! The Supernote has eliminated a light on its screen so the pen touches the screen and it already has a bouncy effect. It might affect overall sensations when writing.

Unfortunately I have never tried a remarkable or supernote so I dont have any idea of the writing exp. compared to those.

    You seemed worried that 227 ppi wouldn't be enough. I just looked it up, and the Kindle Oasis has 1264x1680 pixels, while the Note Air 3 has 1404x1872 pixels. Even though it has less pixels per inch, it has more pixels because it has more inches. That means if you have the same number of words on the page, it would look better on the Note Air 3. However, if you expect to be able to read a larger document with smaller words because you have a larger screen, you'll still have to zoom in like you would on the Kindle Oasis. I'm guessing the Oasis is 1680/300 = 5.6 inches long, and the Note Air 3 is 1872/227 = 8.25 inches long? Anyways, I ordered my Note Air 3 yesterday, and I am REALLY excited to try it out! I really appreciate that you did your tests with the backlight off - it looked so good I didn't even know the backlight was off until you said so! I'm not planning on using the backlight unless I'm reading in the dark.
