   I’ve always dismissed e-ink devices as being unnecessary because I have an iPad, but the Supernote has a siren song that’s hard to ignore! As an interactive planner designer it may well be my duty to get one, one day

     I would 100% like to try out every e-ink device out there, but price is definitely a factor.

     They tell me the Daylight is blue light free, but isn't every e-ink without a backlight? I like how the Supernote is more tailored for handwriting, pen tip doesn't need replacing, and they let you change the battery.

     I can see a deep-dive into the e-ink community online wisdom in my future.

     @ellane mine has a backlight. I chose the China brand Boox because it allows me to download apps into it like any Android tablet. I use it mine mainly to read at night to avoid the blue lights from the phone.

     @liztai So the Boox doesn't have blue in its backlight? That's good to know. The Daylight (pre-order only) claims that feature as if they're the only ones.

     @ellane yup! It suits my needs perfectly. To me the key is to be able to download Android apps. So I read blogs, Substacks, have my Pleco app so that I can read Chinese ebooks etc. I need an eink for night reading. So it suits me perfectly. I don't turn on the backlight at night. I read with a lamp

     @ajlewis2 yea I have toyed with the idea of getting one of those too, but I think I prefer paper haha. Easier for me to cart around.

     @liztai

     I remember you mentioned Boox. I looked at their Go 10.3 which is an ereader with note taking capability. That looks like what I want. It says there is no front light and I don't seem mention of backlight. I don't need it, so it doesn't matter. I'm thrilled to find it with that nice large screen.

     @liztai Yes! Lamps are a good option. I love this little beauty that has 3 light temperatures / brightness levels and is easy to throw in a bag. Photo shows the warmest setting.
