It reassures me that going with an Onyx Boox Tab Pro was the better choice. Full e-ink, not e-Paper, but still can switch to a mode where you could, if you want, watch a movie. Backlight is not crazy orange, it's what you want (warmth controlled separately from brightness). Ignores hand when you use the stylus, or at least, uses hands gestures for different things than the stylus and I never had the issue. Bluetooth…

I looked at Boox devices, but they lag Android versions to the point where it becomes a security concern.

Every time I read something like this it strikes me as so incredibly odd that people are into sunlight. For me, direct sunlight is a 100% negative experience. It’s physically dangerous to skin, generally unhealthy if you aren’t Vitamin D deficient, extremely bright, causes wild temperature flux throughout normal working hours, etc. I have spent a lot of time and a fair bit of money making sure natural sunlight never…

> For some reason every bluetooth keyboard I have tried so far glitches every so often and sends double or triple keys or occasionally the same key a couple dozen times with no way to stop it from happening. This would make the device unusable to me. I wonder if others have had the same issue? Fundamentally, I need typing to be reliable. I guess this probably doesn’t happen via USB keyboards?

I get this when using my Bose QC bluetooth headphones near my keyboard. Sometimes it doesn't happen much, sometimes it happens every half hour. It doesn't happen when I don't use the BT headphones. I wonder if this issue is something to do with interference or radio power or faulty bluetooth stacks.

I have one of these and I'm just about ready to give it away. The problem is it doesn't fit a use case that I don't have better solutions for. I've found that writing on the screen makes me prefer paper; reading on the screen makes me prefer books. I wanted to like the DC-1 but every time I use it something feels off. Maybe that's partly because I don't enjoy the Android experience.

Do you have anything as a backup to say its physically dangerous and generally unhealthy?

My Boox is pretty crap. My use case is Libby for library books and the display refreshing and other things make it almost unusable. Feels super cheap, unsupported.
