iBrave Closure
I purchased the “Lifetime Unlimited” plan from iBrave in January 2023. After a year and a half, they delivered what they promised, but I’ve always known it was too good to be true. I was right, of course, iBrave Web Hosting is closing on November 1st, 2024.

Amazon Kindle Scribe
I’ve been looking for the perfect e-Ink tablet for a while, I thought my prayers were answered with the Boox Note Air 3, but I was disappointed in the muted/muddy colors. It’s not a good Black & White e-reader either because due to the nature of Kaleido 3, it cannot achieve true white. Their version of white is really grey.

Color e-Ink
While black and white e-Ink have been around since 2007 under a variety of names (Vizplex, Pearl, Carta), color e-Ink technology is relatively new, as you can see from the Color eInk time line that I’ve compiled for you. Color eInk was only available for the consumer market in 2021, so it’s a very young technology.

Happy Crisis on Infinite Earths day
I’ve previously mentioned that the very first comic book that I purchased with my own money, a whole $1, was Crisis on Infinite Earths #1. I didn’t know it then, but this little comic book forever changed my life forever. As it turns out, January 3, 1985, was the date that the book came out (even though the newsstand date shows April 1985). Of course, I didn’t buy it in January… in fact, it was probably closer to March, as #3 was already on the stands.
BOOX Note Air 3 C Review
As I previously mentioned, I bought the BOOX Note Air 3 C, the color eInk tablet, primarily for reading comic books. Even though the tablet was recently released in October, 2023, none of the reviewers actually touch on reading comics or magazines.
For comic book readers, you’re going to have to use the Kindle App. Several years ago, Amazon bought out their comic competition, ComiXology, and slowly dismantled the company and took their guided-view technology.
First Impressions of BOOX Note Air 3 C
I just bought the BOOX Note Air 3 C, the color eInk tablet for reading comics. The eReader arrived today, so I’m playing around with it and my first impression is that I made a terrible mistake.
