10.3 and larger devices are meant to read pdfs! Single-handed use is not really my concern...
0:01 Conclusions first
0:03 Part 1: book size comparison
6:17 Part 2: Single-handed use test
I have never commented on a youtube video before, but here I have to make an exeption. I’ve never seen someone make the kinds of comparison reviews you are making. The format you have innovated is novel and above all very useful. Especially since these are devices you would not be able to go and try at a store.
Thank you for making these videos, they have made my decision to buy a note air so much more informed.
Thanks for the positive feedback! I appreciate it. I will keep making user perspective videos on e-reading devices. I should thank my viewers’ comments for video ideas. They told me what they care about so I made these videos.
User experience details like this matter as much as specs. So thanks! Someone asked Morning Coach for this kind of video, but you got there first!
Thanks for the positive feedback! I will keep making user perspective videos like this. I got most of my video topics from the viewers' comments, so keep them coming!
Thx you for the actual book size comparison. I have absolutely no idea how different screen size compared to actusl book is , so it really hard to make a decision since my buying option is online only. Thx.
Thanks for the positive feedback! I made another video comparing the size of e-ink devices to paper printout of academic journal articles. Hope it is helpful to you czcams.com/video/lMtbOPjN7yY/video.html
for me what I like about the max, is that I use it in landscape and have plenty of space to write comments as I read it, I also read casual material, with the larger screen means more reading and less interruption. Combined with the remote makes it awesome to read lots of material. For me, I just can't find myself reading on the iPad for a long time without my eyes tiring. The Lumi is a life-saver in my current classes, that now I can write comments on the text as I read and get actively involved with the material.
I think 13.3-inch is great for reading and note-taking for classes. One small thing is the slightly lower PPI than smaller-sized devices.
Thank you! You always discuss important topics.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. The topics are mainly from viewers' comments, so I should really thank all the viewers!
I love your voice and how you pronounce the words, I'm sorry. But I know the most important is all the information you give us. Thanks !
Love your videos, thank you so much. Just bought air for my wife!
I can easily read single-handedly because I'd usually use an ereader cover, e.g. by just resting my left hand on the top of the opened e-reader cover with ereader usually resting on my belly or legs, if seating or lying in the bed/deck chair.
was about to go for note3. After this video, note air has the upper hand for me.Thanks for that
Glad this video helps in a way. Do you mind sharing your thought process? What makes you choose Note Air over Note 3?
@@EReaderChannel the crisp display on note air vs somewhat murkier on the note3 is a big differentiator for me.
@@karaadae Hey I just want to make sure that I did not mislead you in the video. The Note 3 in the video has a matte screen protector on, which is the main reason for the murky look. I assume if I put the same screen protector on Note Air, it would look bad, too. The culprit is the screen protector.
@@EReaderChannel ooook, now I'm confused again which to buy :) I thought the reason was carta vs mobius. I like the note's serious looks better. There's really not much to distinguish between the two. I don't think I'll be taking too many notes, so readibility is my first concern. I might still go for the air...
@@karaadae I think my Note Air has a tiny bit slightly better clarity than Note 3 (both without screen protectors). I also prioritize reading over note-taking and my personal choice is Note Air.
Thank you. Helpful and practical display of real life use. How does the highlights and annonations function? is it embeded into the epub/pdf and just copying it to desktop retains all our changes?
yes, highlights and annotations on pdf will be available after exporting the file to desktop. I think it depends on file format, so not sure about epub or other formats.
You've done what I wanted to know. i I Always thank you.
Glad it helps! Thanks!
What is better to buy for reading different PDFs files? I mean 13" vs 10"...
I have never had any eink device. I study in University and read a lot of books about programming. My eyes are always tired.
sorry for my English
13.3 is better for bigger pdf files. 10.3 is more portable. It's up to you to decide which is more important for you
there is anyway to add hyperlinks on the notes? selecting a word and by touching that word goes to another page or note? I tried to google this but I didn't find anything ...
There is some "add-on" or another app (not Onenote that works very bad) that allow to write with the stylus and do this?
Honestly I don’t know. I will try it out. Thanks for the question.
Do you happen to use a case with the Air? I’ve heard there are no good options apart from a generic tablet sleeve
Yes I do. I have several videos on onyx's own note air cases. Check them out. I think the cases are not perfect but not bad either.
What do you use to buy those scientific PDF and be able to read it in the ONYX? are not having DRM?
Nice video. I just subscribed to your channel. What stand do you use for your Boox devices?
I have two tablet stands: a TechMatte stand (the smaller one) and a Kabcon stand (the larger one). Both are excellent for what they are.
@@EReaderChannel Thanks!
Thanks!!!
Thank you!
Thanks!
All that technology and he's never heard of a ruler or tape measure. A credit card is 3 1/4" long. So this Bayesian Cognitive Modeling book is about 8" in height.
wow another good video
Thanks!
Hello. I saw on the manufacturer's website that the only difference between note 3 and note air is the screen. Can you make a video talking about the differences between the screens?
I think My Deep Guide talked about this in his video on the Note 3. Worth checking out.
@@simes653 Maybe he did. But the video is long and it talks about many other aspects. Perhaps it would be interesting to talk only about the differences between the screens, given that this is the only difference between note 3 and note air. Thank you anyway.
@@duqueparaense Also check out One More Ink's video (czcams.com/video/j3SCESODiu8/video.html&t). I think this video and the deep guide suggested by simonbhoward have covered most of the differences in great detail. I will see if I could make a different video on this.
No, note 3 is faster and has larger battery, double storage and higher RAM
Note 3 has biometric touch ID and 4gb ram and 64gb storage
Did you get a Tab X yet?
No and I am not planning to get one. Great device but too big and too expensive for me.
How is the Max 3 side by side for handheld use?
Did you mean split-screen mode? I think Max 3 (or any 13.3-inch devices) are too big for handheld use, no matter what mode you use.
@@EReaderChannel Thanks for your reply. I meant two facing pages. I don't really mean handheld, but holding it up with your hands and having it rest on your lab like you would do with a heavy book.

Man, you can't compare Ipad to E ink devices!
why not?
@@EReaderChannel It's totally different technology, it's unhealthy to read a lot using Ipad , unlike using E-ink devices.
