So you can't use Zotero's internal file management system with this method? You are going into Zotero and unchecking "Automatically attach associated PDFs and other files when saving items?". Because for your file sync system you need everything to be in a single folder whereas zotero has a complicated file storage system..

I have tried using it multiple times but everytime I find that I get a better overview and quicker workflow by just using OneNote on my laptop. It is easier to read and easier to edit text and copy paste text that is not handwritten. Also, in my job I have a lot of meetings with a lot of actions by different people that need yo be followed up on, and collecting those actions using handwritten notes with searchable tags is a nightmare compared to OneNote, where each action can easily be searched and be marked undone or done with ctrl+1. Also I have a lot of technical information requiring links to them. Much quicker to insert in a note, to find again and show to others on Teams on a laptop. And the real kicker is OneNote's notes overview in menu on the left side on the screen with main folders followed by a rolling overwiew if all notes and subnotes to each note available to quickly peruse just by scrolling down that list. In Boox they have folders without any ability to get an overview. So the search function, the lack of overview in search, in the catalog of notes, and inside the notes, as well as the worse integration with apps outside of the BOOX universe makes the eink tablet a looser compared to OneNote on a laptop. My main purpose with notetaking is to write down, categorize, re-find, utilize, search, share, and integrate information and create actions and an eink device creates too many stumbling blocks between me and those goals. Eink readers are to be blunt more for solitary thinkers who want to give themselves the luxury of allowing themselves to think that each written thought is special and takes time.

Thanks for showing Obsidian! How does it work if you write notes on the native note taking app on the Boox and want save them in your Obsidian vault directly from the tablet? Does it work smoothly? I assume that they're saved as PDF, or as an image file.

No, I have not. The mode I use was implemented by Boox in a recent (year ago, I think) update. You need to ensure you have the latest firmware and if it does not behave correctly, make sure app optimisation (with scribble mode) is turned on.

@@wilsoncj Well, of course, that is a good question. I do find that I am distracted by it at times. But for the most part, I find that having multiple platforms to write with/on makes me write more and lets me keep order with book text and notes. Nothing is ever lost. And without the gizmos I could not do the research I need to do to write. My latest discovery for keeping order is an app called Walling. It is brilliant. What do you research and write about?

@wilsoncj
Жыл бұрын
Technically the difference is that the iPad screen refreshes 60 times per second, whereas an e-ink screen does not. The effect of this is hard to explain, but it means that an e-ink screen looks more like paper in real life. For some people, this will be of no real benefit, but if you prefer reading off paper, or find it hard to concentrate when reading books and articles on a normal screen, e-ink is made for you. Its best uses are for things we do with screens that we used to do on paper. I hope this helps.

Medical scientist investigating an e-ink device for the same use case - Boox seems to be the only device in which annotated PDF files are easily syncable in this way and not walled into a worthless proprietary ecosystem. Does NeoReader not work with the PDF file in the cloud - e.g. does it do the daft thing with file copy to device, then you need to upload/over-write the version in the cloud?? This process is so easy on my iPad that it has been a bit of a shock to see how crude the workflow is for e-ink devices.
