Paper-like screen is regularly picked as an iStraine-reduction option for LCD or OLED. And, when it comes ReadingI would have to agree. But many people see me doing strange goods on their e in in -in -monitor and tablet, such as watching YouTube videos or browsing web. Therefore, I decided to load this unus and take it to its peak Mincraft On my Boox Ereder.
Android ereaders, strange marketing, and my deteriorating mental state
Very few people in my life are actually the owner of an ereader. When they read digital books, they usually do it on a smartphone or iPad. I think this is partially due to cost – the cheapest kindle is approximately $ 100 – but also a matter of convenience. Carrying an additional device Now! Reading books is a bit silly. And I call it as someone who uses an ereader!
Brands such as Amazon Kindle and Rakutne Cobo are gradually bringing more tablets for their ereders. The goal is, possibly, to attract customers who want both world’s best – a comfortable e ink screen with the capabilities of a real tablet. But e-ink screen slows down and torturing, so “tablets like” features that we see in some new Amazon and Rakutane Areders are mostly just, such as, not-teching and calendar accessories.
But there are some niche brands that sell Real E ink bullets. I have found two onyx box ereaders on hand, both run Android operating systems. One of them, the BOOX tab ultra C, was actively marketed as a productivity-centered tablet replacement (it is now a few years old) due to its color e ink screen, appropriate powerful processor and relatively rapid screen refresh settings. Marketing of this device when the manufacturer was really very honest, not really far from basic reading, writing and stylus functionality, but reviewers are Enamored With the idea of playing youtube videos or web on tab Ultra C, something comes to the conclusion that it is a viable machine for media consumption or browsing, which is crazy in my opinion.

It was much easier than my expectation to gel my kindle
Control your kindle.
Therefore, when the Boox Tab Ultra C fell into my lap through a series of strange-to-a-off hot-potato (a colleague reviewed it in 2023, the manufacturer did not want it back, it sat in our business list for a while, Yada Yada), I immediately wanted to use it as a test for ideas. YouTube on tab ultra C is an unpleasant experience – how do I get more unpleasant than this? I want to do so much unpleasant that it makes me nausea. A visible form of iPecac.
Standing, Minecraft on an ereader
I tested the Box Tab Ultra C with different games from NYT’s daily crossword puzzles to oh-so-solutions. Subway surfersThey all just stayed fine, but none of them were really playing, and some of them hurt my eyes. The “Ultra Fast” screen mode of the ereader introduces too much ghosts, while other mode is practically seizure-motivations because they flash the screen.
After farting around with some basic mobile games, I realized that Minecraft plays the ability to play and the best mixture of pain. So, I gave it a shot, and I was surprised to be pleasant with the tempathy of the after -eyes. It is not very difficult to see what is happening in Minecraft on E ink screen, but Only During the day, and Only If you are able to bear the horrific ghost effects that manufacture after about two seconds of the gameplay. The sky becomes a disturbance of brown shade, and the blocks bounce together so that you can walk without looking at the back of a pig. Cracking the render distance does not help, it just adds new onscreen details that can cascade in a mud mess of gray lines and flat colors.
Believe it or not, but I really tried to play the game in this way. I built a small dirt house, started knocking trees, and the track of where I was completely lost. After finishing the most painful in-game sunset, you can ever imagine, night befel me, and I could not see anything. So, I died and tried again. Eventually I had to set my eyes down because my eyes hurt so much That I started feeling dizzy.
I achieved my goal of having a very unpleasant experience on an ereader, and it took me only 30 minutes to do it. Honestly, I tried to go for a long time- I was hoping to go online with some friends! But it was very painful.
What is worth it, I was surprised by how well the Minecraft Box Tab Ultra went to C. and I think it would be less painful if the ereader offered a deep opposite or a broad color coverage. E ink may be somewhat appropriate option for gaming, but it will need to be improved Very Before it reaches that point.
I should also clarify that Boox Tab Ultra C is a very enabled tool, although I am not a particularly big fan of color e ink because the color layer is very opposite. You cannot actually use a color erader without the frontlight (or sitting in direct sunlight), which in my opinion defeats the purpose of a paper -like performance. If a powerful black and white Android erader falls in my way, I will keep it through the Minecraft test to see if there is any improvement in playbliity.
