Will kobo books work?
This is now $128. 😭
I'm so glad that I found this. Boox Palma is just way too expensive.
Hey, I just bought one because of your video! Hoe did you set it up so the apps show in lost form and not icons? 😊
A6X2 writing feel is significantly worse than A5X. The new screen loses feel of pen on paper of A5X and does not feel like pencil on paper. It is much more resistant to pen strokes.
Is it able to install google play book?
What is obsidian? Is it more organized than the supernote default?
Do you have to use that giant pen? I'm trying to be discreet in meetings. Serious question.
Thanks for the video, can you annotate ebooks on that device?😊
How is this supposed to replace our phones if it doesn’t have a sim card?
Seems the price went up 35% after this video! :(
It's not $90 on AliExpress anymore, now it's $128. And it's unavailable on Amazon.
Thank you so much for this video! I took inspiration and recreated this with noteful on ipad and anytype instead of obsidian using sets and inline sets
Can Libby be installed on this?
My supernote was truly great. Loved it. But... getting older. Can't see quite as well. Lack of a backlight was a dealbreaker, finally had to get rid of it. I understand their reasons, I just don't have to like them. But if you're young, the supernote is pretty tough to beat.
what is your fav tablet for reading and notes?
what is your fav pen to use with the SN?😊
love wyrmwood chilling on the desk, also that D&D character sheet template is really cool, where can I get one for A6X2?
Very cool form factor
e-waste
How is it as an ereader? I think Ratta is a great company that respects its users (support), but I am not sure if the supernote is for me as I would like to use it as an e-reader (epubs) and note taking
This is just what I was looking for. Thank you
How about Palm Rejection to avoid unwanted writing by a palm. what is the internal memory capacity and also SD card capacity.
People say it's too small to split screen and do math problems. I dunno, I don't want to get one too much bigger.
Great tutorial, I may have missed how to download it to the reMarkable tablet
Nice video, I picked one up! Does anyone know how to download or get the Amazon App Store on the device, I am a bit confused on that part. Thanks!
Did you figure it out? Any idea if the Everand app will work on this?
Would love an updated video on how you use the Kindle Scribe! You always have the best content 👍
Is this android based? Wondering if I can use it to download some local library app there too like in boox
Do you have the boox? How’s the build quality on it?
So many apps; to be honest it is more the time spent hopping from a platform to another and then consolidate, than actually get work done. What works for me is a simple calendar online, GTD workflow and Trello to keep track of things. - The calendar just hold the "what and when" with deadlines; nothing more as I don't need to see the whole story of what is going on there. - GTD framework is perfect for 99% of the cases and projects (personal and at work), so that takes little efforts to be integrated in your daily life - Trello works everywhere and it is a better "kanban" than anything else you may find on the market, being simple, multi platform and if that app disappear, you can easily port 90% of that data on a piece of paper if you want, since there is no custom feature or specialized workflow tied to that platform (which is the problem I have with Obsidian, Ticktick and all the other custom platforms for task management). The key to be productive in the end is simplicity; the less you have to think about what you need to do to get organized, the faster you can get the work done. Removing friction is the main point of having Agile process at work; and I don't expect regular folks to use Agile also in their life outside work; but simplicity and abstraction are concepts that should be adopted by everyone for their sake. Otherwise when a platform goes down, you are back to square 1 having to learn all over again and port your workflow again on a different platform. Over, and over again.
I think I literally came to this conclusion a day before you posted this 😂 Though probably not in so many words 😅
I have one of these and I love it. It's let me fit a lot more reading in because it's always with me. I use syncthing to sync my books folder from my phone and computer. With Koreader installed on each device, it even syncs my progress and highlights. Most of the time I leave the wifi off though, because the battery is a bit small, which is the only real complaint I have. Definitely not a deal breaker though.
I’ve managed to eke out about twice as much battery life (bringing me to ~20 hours of reading on KOReader, according to its stats) by turning on the power saving mode on the Inkpalm’s pulldown menu. I’d try it out!
@@pixelleaves good tip, I'll give it a try.
@@pixelleaves Any idea if the Everand app will work on this?
Hey pixelleaves, thanks for the video. I still find digital productivity tools intimidating. But I might try it, especially now that I saw how you made them work together. Also, have you switched to the Kindle scribe from the supernote A5x? Or do you use both?
I should probably make a video about my current setup/workflow! I prefer using my Supernote still for note-taking--but since the Scribe is more accessible (both price and interface-wise) I worked on and tested a custom PDF notebook system for it :)
@@pixelleaves I just got a Supernote. Not sure if I want to return it. I would be interested in your thoughts about when to use a Scribe vs Supernote
I wish I could write in it! Imagine it being also a little notebook that could fit in the pocket!
Thank you. The combination of PARA method and slow productivity methods is enough for me: systemizing productivity.

Have you successfully installed google play books?
You're pinoy! 😂❤
Does KOReader sync with Goodreads? Thanks for your very in-depth review of this cool little reader, hopefully we get more of them from Chinese companies in the future and the price comes down a bit.
I think Goodreads no longer offers an API.
Pen and paper can't be beaten. No batteries required.
Can you upload PDF textbooks to it if you have a large enough SD card? I noticed you were highlighting already structured pages so i'm curious.
I love supernote's mission and hardware... if only they made a bigger screen :(
Nice to see the D&D content 🙂
Hi, thank you for the video, does the side button on the EMR still work with the change over?
I don't really understand the Business Case here. Why not just install KOReader from FDroid on your Android-Phone and be Happy? No carrying around two devices.
the UX on an e-ink display device is not comparable to an Android-Phone. Also some people like to remove the distraction or temptation to check social media, etc. It's for a different Audience.
I bought one and I can’t wait!! Haven’t been so excited for something I bought in a long time
I just got one of these because of your video but for whatever reason I can’t get the kindle app to work! I tried re installing it and it still won’t let me sign in
As mentioned in the description I signed into the Amazon App Store app, and it automatically logged me into Kindle (but I used the stock Kindle app)
Did you get it to work?
@@futpot3897 yeah I deleted the kindle app on the reader then downloaded f-droid using that lightning app on the reader and on f-droid I searched for aurora store and then on there downloaded the kindle app and now it works perfectly!
I really like your channel and how your videos are structured. What worked the best for me is to install a very good launcher for my Android which is called Beforelauncher. That way, I do not have any icons anymore but just titles. I also switched off all my notifications and I removed my Instagram. I realised Instagram was total waste of time. Im looking foward to buy the Supernote soon to replace my note papers floating around my desk. Thank you for your videos!
great review
...alright, i might have to finally get an e-reader. if it's under $100 AND fits in my pocket, well there go my two main complains about e-readers!
I've just got mine! Can you please do a detailed video about installing planner there? I used one of your links but it was super confusing when I got there :|
