I have a Go 10.3 and was thinking about replacing it with the NA5C with a few major and a few minor reservations.

Major:

  • The Boox software really isn’t great, and I fear they will abandon it too quickly or make it worse with updates
  • Still no dedicated drawing app, and the Go 10.3 really suffers with a lot of pen strokes in the notes app

Minor:

  • The black paint is really a downgrade in looks from the silver on the Go 10.3
  • The thick side bezel looks odd to me
  • I wish it had feelwrite screen like Supernote

If Supernote ran full Android I might choose a B&W Supernote over a color Boox, but maybe the reviews will shift me more towards the NA5C.

Color Boox has front lighting, though the Manta sure looks slick. And the bump from Carta 1200 on your Go to 1300 with the Supernote might be nice.

This is why I have way too many ereaders, lol, they all have their unique selling points.

Yes, multiple devices does seem like the only way to get all of the best features hah. I feel like I may end up with a second one at one point, though if I do get a NA5C I could see myself switching out the Go 10.3 for a Nomad so I have some of the best of both worlds.

Certainly how I go about it. Not for everyone as it gets pricey, but man playing with different e-readers is a boatload of fun. Manta still on my to-do list as well, Supernote just hits different.
