Nowadays there is another seller on Ali called Ebook reader Store. It‘s got more and better feedback. May be it is actually better?
I am interested in the Boox Note lite on offer there (which comes without stylus) and I have seen no other retailer who is still selling this device. If you know another place where to look for it, please let me know.
For my purposes, I have figured, I do not really need the stylus (Boox Note) because I don‘t want to write much with the device. I currently use an Ipad Pro 10,5 with GoodReader and even there I only do a lot of underlining, some circles around words, lines, crosses, exclamation and question marks and numbers or letters like firstly, secondly, thirdly and so forth on the margins. If I want to write something, I place a pop up note on the margins. I don‘t have an Apple Pencil so annotations are being done by hand touch. i am sure my annotations are rather basic as compared to what GoodReader has to offer (for example working much more with the different colors), but it is enough for me. All of this, I imagine, I could do on the Boox Note lite as well without the stylus. (The only problem I possibly see is, that, with some pdfs, the distance between the lines might be very small in which case a stylus would prove advantageous because your marking should be more precise with it and would fit better between the lines.) Would you all agree with that line of reasoning or would you say that it is much nicer to do the annotations I have described with the stylus than with finger touch?
Of course there is one more advantage going on for the BN lite: it is 100 € cheaper than the Boox note from a more established retailer, that is you can get it for 360€ including cover and screen protector (so they say at least). 360€ is a price that still feels alright to my taste but 460€ begins to hurt, especially when you already have an Ipad with GoodReader which is no doubt a very good device, but there is something good about a device without additional light -something an Ipad cannot offer. This is also the reason why I could convince myself that a Boox Note with lighting like the Pro is not necessary for me. Any good experience made with AliExpress sellers?
