Hi mobileread forum,
Longtime lurker here. I just pulled the trigger on an Onyx Boox Note. My intended purpose is to use it as an all-in-one replacement for distraction free reading and writing at cafes and the library.
In some ways, I like how surfing the web is black and white and kind've clunky. I am actually a first time Android user, so this isn't even just my first Android e-reader, but my first Android device ever!
There are four apps I'd like to try in my workflow and I'm curious if any of you all have tried them:
(1) Evernote, for the majority of my writing and some of my reading from the internet. I know that people have talked about how using the stylus has latency issues with this app and that the native Note apps is much better. I don't plan on using the stylus much, but simply organizing / copy + pasting / typing in this app. Does it work well? Does it sync well?
(2) Google docs, for writing if Evernote doesn't work well. I trust that this app will work a bit better, but does it? I can find literally zero on the internet of people using Google docs on their Boox Notes or Max2s.
(3) Pocket, for casual reading.
(4) The New Yorker app, for reading the New Yorker-specific content. Has anyone used this app on their Boox e-readers?
I haven't figured it out completely, but I would like to centralize all the reading I do online. My workflow is as follows: for saving casual news articles, I'll save to Pocket. For longer reads or academic reads (that I know I'll need to annotate or mark up, I'll save to Evernote). Evernote is a good contender for doing this, particularly because there are services out there that sync your Kindle highlights too, so I could possibly have everything in this app. Hence, the crucial question that will dictate whether or not I return my Boox Note is whether or not Evernote syncs well.
Have any of you all used any other workflows for doing non-reading work on your Boox Note?
Thanks!
