Nova Air C (cheap) versus Nova Air/Air 2/Air 2+?

atl068 · 05-10-2023, 08:41 PM

Wow. The Nova Air C is now going cheap --- cheaper than the B&W versions locally --- about AUD 450 at cheapest, versus AUD 559 for the Nova Air 2 and even AUD700+ for Nova Air 2+ (?not local)... Anyone with both color and B&W devices care to comment? I have bitten the bullet at the cheap price and bought the Nova Air C... I have a Nova 2 (not Air), and a PocketBook color (older Kaleido), so I guess I shouldn't be in for a surprise?

Anyway, those looking for color, this might be a good time to look for a deal and buy if you don't care for the very greatest/latest, or want the 7.8" size. I was salivating for the Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C --- then realised that it is far too expensive. I already have a Max3 and a Max Lumi as well for larger screen use for proper work. But I wanted something bigger than 6" with colour and capability to take some notes in the books I read (versus pocketbook color). Or maybe, I'm just trying for some excuses to spend money on new toys.

As for cases, I note the lack of good cases lamented in the forums. I'm experimenting with an A5 zippered portfolio case - I am using an A4 one for the Max3/Max Lumi, which I prefer over anything from Onyx Boox.

Didn't you mix Nova with Note?

Oops. You are right. Been looking at the Note Air 2 plus too. Someone selling near new for about 30% off. Tempting!

Hi Atl068, which site did you order your boox Nova Air C from. When i try to order it the payment page shows that the $429 is in American dollars and that it will be $703 when converted to AUD, it also only lets my pay by PayPal which i am not impressed with.
You might want to check your credit and make sure you charged the $429 aussie dollars.
