I'm not super familiar with these.
What makes them great for academic use?
This was my exact experience as well.
I'll keep an eye on it for sure and will most likely try to set it up again in another year or so. But right now, I have no time to fiddle to make things work.
This is great, thanks!
For sure. All of the tools on the Boox have size sliders.
I can get a post up of each tool and their sizes later today to show you what the differences are.
The Supernote also has sizes for each tool as well.
I don't own a kindle scribe so I can speak to how those tools work.
Picked up this case from Amazon since I didn't like the colors on the official case.
I had to buy a pen loop for a stylus, but aside from that, this is a basic no-frills magnetic case that I don't have much to complain about. The magnets hold the device secure enough that I don't feel worried about carrying it around.
If you search that case on Amazon you'll see it comes in other colors too. For ~$26 it's not a bad deal.

Another sketch on the Boox Go 10.3 using the Staedtler Mars Jumbo stylus.
Really digging the feel of the screen on this device. Shame that the pencil tool is pretty garbage. But the pen tools are definitely great.
Here's the exported png:
The first sketch I did on my Boox Go 10.3. Top one was the brush pen tool. Bottom was the normal Pen tool.
Unlike my Supernote, I use the pen tools on the Boox exclusively and hate their pencil.
It's the opposite on the Supernote in the Atelier drawing app. The pencil on that is fantastic.
Here's the exported png:
Here's how it looks exported as a png:
I definitety prefer how everything looks on-device vs the export, but I found if you don't use the marker or any shading tool, things look better when you export.
I'm not a fan of the zip-a-tone look of the shading when you export the markers so I stick to the pencil tool.
I created a separate community for art done on eink devices (so as to not clutter up this or other communities that are more general with art posts that can fill up your feed):

Still messing around with Atelier and figuring out the combo of which tools it offers and which stylus to use.
The pencil tool and the Staedtler Noris Jumbo is the best combo for how I like to sketch so far. This sketch is the 8B pencil.
I wish the pen/ink tools were better. The screen on the Supernote really is nice to draw on
How is the battery life on it? I've been thinking about the Go 6 but worried about the battery life.
Like you I just want to us it as a standalone eReader and not a full on tablet. Hoping the battery lasts a decent time if you just use it like a kindle.
I agree. Unfortunately I don't own a Remarkable or I'd definitely do a comparison 🙁
I already have a Supernote A6X that I use as my journal and sketchbook, but I wanted something larger for use at work to sketch out flow diagrams and have the larger canvas for reference docs.
I also wanted to see how Boox's options for pens and pencils worked for drawing. I've started doing some of those tests now, which I'll be posting about soon.
Having a more tablet-esque enote device at the larger 10" screen size seemed like a better fit for news reading, so the Boox was the option that fit best.
Do you not have any enote device right now?
Sure, I'll gladly help mod
Thanks for making this community. Just like you, I still have been checking reddit for supernote stuff (via redlib) and wanted something in lemmy instead.
I was about to make one mysf but found this one via a search.
I'll try and be active here and maybe we'll get other supernote users over here soon.

My thoughts exactly!
Nice to see the update to the screen and thin body, but it's essentially a bigger Nomad. Which is wonderful.
