A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I'm a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I've been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and document writing.

I would only get one if it also had a backlit display. Preferably amber

This article has some useful considerations.

Happy shopping.

You can't backlight e-paper. You could get a book light, though!

What? You absolutely can. Look at... Every recent model of kindle.

I thought they were all side-lit? Which is functionally the same imo but technically different

Not sure about that, I think the term backlit is applicable there even if technically incorrect.
