Welcome to this episode of Change Chat, recorded on July 3, 2025, with my good friend Kit Betts-Masters , talking about my journey into exploring other e-paper tablets. Our focus was mostly on the Boox Note Air 4C and the Supernote Manta. It was a great discussion and we really went into the reasons why someone might choose Boox over Supernote, as well as what each of these devices has to offer. There was, as always, some quick-witted banter back and forth. As always, thanks to Kit for hosting and being an amazing person. I do apologize for some of my audio and will try to fix it in the podcast playlist. If you have comments, suggestions, or want to share your point of view, please share them down below.

Welcome to this edition of Change Chat. In this episode, we had an open dialogue on my decision to expand beyond just Supernote devices to include BOOX and other platforms. This does not mean that I will not continue to cover @supernote_official , and my primary focus will continue to be around organization and productivity. Some of the topics we covered included:

• Why the decision to include more platforms
• Initial impressions of the Note Air 4C
• Early comparisons between BOOX and Supernote

• Updated, Supernote Beta (Enhanced Digest, Clipboard, and Text Boxes)

Join us for the latest installment of the E-Team Episode 3: Blazing Tablets, recorded on Sunday April 27, 2025 at 1:00pm (U.S. Central Time). In this episode, we take a deep dive into our favorite devices and news from 2025 so far, while also making some predictions for the rest of the year. There was a lot to cover so we carried on the conversation for quite a while. Also, when you get the four of us together, there was bound to be side conversations, derailments, rants, and even some friendly disagreements. Just a few of the potential topics we will cover include:

• A quiet Q1, no real new E-Ink screen tech, or is there? Enter Spectra 6, new Boox devices, and active styli!

• Stickers & Wacom on Supernote (Get ready for a bumpy ride)
• Reaction to Jeff's e-ink notetaking awards
• Is there a future for e-ink on computers and phones?
• If we were to start our own e-ink company, what would we focus on that the market isn't currently addressing?

This episode was recorded on Sunday, December 29, at 4:00pm (U.S. Central Time). During this time together, we dove deep into the decision of whether to upgrade to the @supernote_official A5X2 Manta from the original A5X. I provided my insights on over 3.5 years with the A5X and how it compares to the Manta, as well as discussed multiple scenarios for a purchase. Hopefully the discussion can help you make an informed decision if you are in the market for a new e-ink device, or if you are already a Supernote fan and just want to get a different perspective.

Here is the updated recording of the E-Team: The Search for More E-Ink, first airing Sunday, December 15th at 8:00pm U.S. Eastern Time (7:00pm Central, 5:00pm Pacific). In this episode, we took a deep dive into our favorite devices and news from 2024, while also making some predictions for the upcoming year.

There was a lot to cover so we went just a little long (over three hours). I have added chapters for better navigation (although we would not be offended if you watched the whole thing). Also, when you get the four of us together, there was bound to be side conversations, derailments, rants, and even some friendly disagreements. Just a few of the potential topics covered were:

• Reflections on 2024
• Predictions for 2025
• State of the marketplace
• Fun with Mergers (Are there combinations in the future?)
• Our Favorite E-Ink Device of the Year and Runner-Up
