Onyx Boox Max --- PDF reader with multiple tabs?

[mkolar]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a suggestion on which PDF reader has a good support for reading multiple PDFs on Onyx Boox Max device?

I have tried Xodo PDF reader, but my first impression is that it does not work well on Onxy Boox Max device. In particular, the text in PDFs in not crisp/sharp. Is there a way to improve this in Xodo? Or are there alternative PDF readers that allow multiple tabs?

Thanks!

This feature (multiple document reading) will be available in Neo 2 in one of the next updates. It is already in the work and almost finished. Here is the video of the prototype:

Thank you for sharing. I am excited to try the new feature when it becomes available!

ezpdf can have multiple pdfs open at once, but they don't show as tabs. Last time I used it they were accessed by pulling out a side panel (like in play store) and selecting one of the open files.

There is an excellent opensource app koreader https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki

I am using it on kobo and I am very happy. Though on kobo I use the native version whilst on Onyx I had to try the android build which was horribly slow. I wonder if it was only a performance problem related to Boox max or the android version is far from being optimized. I am going to check the koreader forum when I have few minutes to dig into it.

I got a picture from someone who is taking part in 1.8.2 closed test.

Hey Boox;

This would be a KILLER feature for me. I've lost count the number of times I had to switch between PDF documents.

Would this multi-tab PDF reader be available in the MAX (first version)? (Don't worry, I'm still very likely to purchase either your REGAL 2 MAX CARTA or the MAX 2 (What's the difference anyway?)

Warmest Regards

+1 for the question. I have the 'original' Boox Max and I am satisfied with the screen quality. There is no point to read tiny 1mm letters because the screen is big but the touch layer is a nice feature.

Plus a few more:
2. When will you release 4.4 android for the Boox Max?

3. Will you also release 13" reader without the pen? I hope it will be lighter. I don't write anything with it.
