![]() ![]() Set to handwriting by default, you can use the scribble toolbar to add notes to documents. Annotating documents is useful for researchĪs well as reading, you can also annotate – but you don’t need to add digital sticky labels to do so. It even sounds like you’re scribbling with a pencil onto real paper, and completely eclipses the writing experience on the iPad, which by comparison feels slippery and ‘plasticky’. The writing and drawing experience feels soft like writing on the puffy side of a notebook with your favourite pen or pencil. You can manually control the warm and cool tones, or turn down the display completely, and you’ve got a piece of paper.īut it’s not the technical details that really impress, it’s the way the glass feels. The front-lit display has 32 LED lights, slightly less than the 35 on the Amazon Kindle Scribe, but it’s clear and easy on the eyes. ![]() You can customise the blacks, tweak the greyscale, or dilute lighter colours.Ī floating navigation ball (bottom right corner) makes accessing the menu and other apps simple But if it’s not to your liking, you can adjust it with the redesigned E-Ink Center. It’s actually made from several screen layers pressed together, and the 1404 x 1872 resolution, with 226 ppi (pixels per inch) means that the display is crisp. The 10.3-inch, HD Carta glass screen has a matte finish, but feels smooth, and oh-so-beautiful to write on (no, seriously). A large, clear, and customisable displayĪside from just how feature-rich this e-reader is, the glass screen is a stand-out asset to this tablet. If you’re a data-heavy user, you’ll need to actively manage your book collection or rely on Cloud storage. Sadly, it’s not (currently) compatible with MacOS – fingers crossed for an update down the line.īut for all its versatility, it doesn’t have an option for expandable storage. If you’re a Windows 10 user there’s a rather nifty feature called ScreenCast, which allows you to project your computer screen to the tablet. Although it can support video, you probably won’t want to make a habit of it, or any other e-ink tablet for that matter better to stick to reading and writing. So, if you’re watching the occasional video and the ghosting is just too much, switch to X Mode, whereas Normal Mode is better for ordinary text reading. The floating navigation ball makes it easy to refresh the screen and clear the ghost images as and when you need to, but you can also tweak the automatic refresh rate. However, the Note Air2 Plus has a rather useful feature that optimises the screen lag, depending on what you’re using it for. Long press a word to look up a definition, and you can password/fingerprint protect your reading data, if you wish.Į-ink screens are ‘laggy’ by nature – they have a different mechanism for display and refresh when compared to LED and LCD – so there’s no getting around this. You can organise your books onto bookshelves, check up on reading stats, even create a sub-library if you wish – useful if you guzzle books like oxygen (looking at you, BookTok). Like almost everything in this tablet, the library is customisable. You can adjust the black, white and grey values of the screen to optimise reading experience Adjust the volume via an ‘invisible’ tab on the left (just swipe up or down near the edge of the screen), likewise, an invisible tab on the right controls the brightness of the screen. Switching between tasks and programs is a doddle thanks to the floating navigation ball you can move it around the screen, or even hide it completely. The Note Air2 Plus runs on a customised version of Android 11, and efficiency is the name of the game. Nifty features optimise the user experience With 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, you’re not skimping on quality, either.Īs a side note: I strongly recommend downloading the user manual (by going to Settings > User manual, where it will download into your library) so that you can browse all the functions at your own pace. Thankfully, it seems to be an emerging trend to include a stylus with the latest range of e-ink devices, which, after the eye-watering price of £139 for an Apple Pencil, is very welcome. Of these, you’ll likely use Library and Notes the most. ![]() The home screen has six modules along the left-hand side: Library, Store, Note, Storage, Apps and Settings a main content area, and the usual system bar (time, Wi-Fi signal, battery percentage etc) along the top. ![]()
