It has a good screen contrast and white level, and supports Android apps such as Perfect Viewer for manga and Moon+ Reader Pro for books. It also has OTG support, allowing users to connect to cloud services. However, it does not have SD card support. Overall, the Boox Nova 2 is an excellent choice for those looking for an open android e-reader.

Verdict

The Onyx Boox Note 3 is a great e-reader for those who need to read and annotate books from a variety of stores. It has an Android operating system, which allows users to access their databases and notes quickly and easily. The device also comes with a plastic screen protector that can be difficult to apply without getting bubbles or dust underneath. Additionally, the magnet used to connect the device is not very strong, so it may not be reliable. However, the Note 3 offers good battery life and is perfect for those who need a pocket-sized device.

Battery Life

Love this thing!
I now carry only this, not a couple of paperbacks, a notebook and a pen. The battery life is phenomenal! I read 3-4 hours a day 5 days a week with frequent interruptions (work, what can you do?) so it often powers off and the battery is still 50%-60% at the end of the week! The ability to change the screen lighting makes it easy on the eyes, the bluetooth connection works well with ear buds but I've only been able to bluetooth tether it to my phone once. The Wi-Fi tether works like a champ every time. My only "complaints" are: 1) setting up the google play store (for the nook and Kindle apps) is frustrating if you don't, as I did not, read the instructions (the reboot is, in fact, necessary!) 2) Every time I would tether the device the location would automatically turn on (this has been alleviated with the latest update but contrary to the update notes, location is NOT turned off by default
