Being able to access books and apps on a comfortable, distraction-free e-ink screen is pretty amazing. I got a Boox Page just to be able to access more Chinese material in an convenient way on an e-ink screen. DuChinese and Pleco work somewhat smoothly with some tinkering, and surprisingly enough, 微信读书 actually has an e-ink variant of their app: 微信读书墨水屏版. Even without an android e-reader, like if you have a Kobo or similar, it’s still great being able to use KOReader coupled with the CC-CEDICT dictionary to read Chinese e-books. All of this has definitely increased my willingness to read in Chinese.
I use a Boox Leaf for reading as well. Whilst not the most beautiful solution, I think the pleco reader works really well on it. You can link it to anki to add new words you look up to your flashcards which is pretty handy.
Nice! Yeah it works ok. The benefits of eink outweigh the negatives I think.
