My first color E-Ink tablet. Easy to read in the sunlight.

A large panel, but the color reproduction is very poor and the device suffers from extreme ghosting.

So I bought this over a year ago to replace my Kindle because I found myself reading a lot of online fic, and I wanted an eink tablet that had a good browser that I could use. (I know that kindles have their own browser, but have you tried using it? It sucks.) I wanted eink instead of a regular tablet, because I do most of my reading at night and didn't want light beamed directly into my eyeballs right before going to bed.I decided to go with the Lite model because I didn't really want to do much with it besides read and maybe do some browsing, so the lower price point was attractive, plus it ran on Android so I could install Kindle and Kobo and it had a much bigger screen than my Kindle which was great for my old eyes. Plus I could read manga and comics on it.And it mostly does what I want. Not exactly well, mind you, but it works. There are several major problems that keep me from recommending this product. First and foremost are the crashes. I find that fairly often it'll crash out of apps and dump you back onto the home page. Usually you can just open the app back up, but there are times when that doesn't even work, so you have to restart the device. It wasn't so bad when I first bought the thing, but for the past few updates it's been getting worse and worse. The good news is that Big Me patches the tablet fairly frequently so maybe in a later update they'll fix this.The second most frustrating thing about the tablet is that I *constantly* have to fiddle with the DPI settings in order to make the text in the apps readable. When you keep it at the default 300 DPI, for some reason all the apps think that you're reading a 17" tablet and will set the text to teeny tiny which makes it impossible to read. If you bump that up to 600, then things look more normal, for the most part. Whenever there's an update to the app, or to the system, you'll have to go back in and reset the settings.As far as the color goes.... enh. Take it or leave it. It turns out that a full color eink tablet is bad for reading comics on, since you get a lot of ghosting when you switch pages, and you have to do a *lot* of fiddling to minimize that. Plus, if you're like me and like to read at night, keeping the light low really washes out the color and makes things hard to parse. Manga, on the other hand, it excels at.The last thing is that it isn't all as fast as its cracked up to be. I'm putting this last because a lot of it is because with eink technology you're going to have a choppy experience when you're dealing with webpages. That's just the nature of eink. But still there's a noticeable lag between when you swipe your finger and when the tablet responds.I think at this point I'm ready to get a new tablet to replace this one. I'm probably just going to get a regular tablet and hope my eyes forgive me for the injustice of the strain I'm about to put on them.

The writing feel just like using real pen and writing on paper. It’s thin and lightBest feature: colors and connectivity to wifi to enable download of papers for reading

All my study needs were covered. Because it uses Android, you can use various book-selling apps in different languages. Its non-exclusivity is the most important feature of this product. The added color quality to E ink technology has also made reading more enjoyable. Its 10.3-inch size is very suitable for reading PDFs. If you use a lot of scientific articles, I recommend buying the 10.3-inch one because a smaller screen size may tire you out.

This 10.3 inch BigMe E ink color tablet is perfect for dam near everything you do on reg LCD,LED screen phone tablet computer monitor. Why?. Because your looking at electronic ink paper. The light source comes from your bed lamp the sun or any other outside light source. I've had and still do use LCD and LED screen displays. But this by far is the best device you can use for comfortable book reading, Web browsing and taking notes. Pen works perfect, You can lay your whole hand on the screen with pen in hand and write just like you do with real paper and pen. If your a Comic book or illustrated novel reader. you will love this device. For a ink tablet the colors are GREAT. For a Ink tablet Videos play GREAT also. If you find yourself stare at your phone led tablet computer monitor all day everyday.. YOU need something like this to help give your eyes a break from the blue light. Now this tablet does have lighting control which can reflect some blue light.. But that's only if you like to read or surf in the booth in the back in the corner in the dark. E ink displays have been around for a very long time. Bigme now upgraded the E ink display with color in a astronomical way. One of the major reasons you would want something like this, is of course to help protect the health of your eyes.

Fatta la premessa che ho utilizzato il dispositivo solo pochi giorni, devo dire che finora sono rimasto positivamente impressionato! È più leggero dell'Onyx Boox da 10,3'' che avevo in passato, e la sensazione di scrittura è molto più realistica e piacevole. Inoltre, in Europa, l'equivalente Onyx Tab Ultra C costa ben 260€ in più, il che pone il Bigme Lite in un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, viste le somiglianze.In termini di scrittura, una piccola cosa che mi manca del Boox è un evidenziatore a mano libera, ma il servizio clienti mi ha risposto prontamente dicendo che sarà reso disponibile in un paio di mesi.L'esperienza di lettura è molto fluida, anche sui siti web e nella modalità normale che minimizza il ghosting.Rispetto ad uno schermo a inchiostro in bianco e nero, lo sfondo bianco è un po' grigiastro, e la retroilluminazione quindi è quasi sempre necessaria (con conseguenze negative sulla durata della batteria e sulla vista). Questo è comunque lo stato della tecnologia, non un difetto del dispositivo in sé, e per me resta un compromesso accettabile per avere i colori.Infine, menzioni positive vanno alla penna e alle sue molteplici funzionalità e alla cover, che, col suo aspetto setoso, dà una sensazione di prodotto premium. Peccato soltanto che non abbia un meccanismo di angolazione per supportare l'utilizzo del tablet a 45 gradi.Mi riservo di aggiornare questa recensione dopo un uso più prolungato, ma finora sono più che soddisfatto.

Update** With airplane mode on and the lights off, battery is great, for a tablet; okay as an eReader.With both cold and warm lights on, airplane mode: battery life is meh.With only warm lights on, airplane mode on: battery life is okay.With all lights off, but WiFi on: battery life is meh.Overall opinion after using it for a while: Think of this as an Android tablet with a stylus that you don't have to be always online for and can use in the sun without trouble. Don't want to carry around a 10"+ android device and still want to take notes? This is it and you can't do better.This wasn't that hard to learn or adapt to. I was amazed by the capabilities. I love that I didn't need an account to use their built-in chatgpt. The notes and pen experience was responsive and not like glass. Love that the google play store is available. But, I'm not sure the security of Android 11 is great. It kept logging me out of things on other devices because it looked suspicious. Still, with the aid of the camera option with Google translate, I was set.Here's where I have gripes:The battery life is Disappointing.** (see update) What is the point of having 6GB of RAM if at all times with minimum activity, half of that is in use?With some optimization and updates to android/firmware, this would be great. Still, I already own an 8" device with better battery life, contrast and color. It's a full tablet, but, at the price of this one, hard to justify.In conclusion: if you already own an iPad mini, put a paperlike screen protector, leave it in airplane mode, and you pretty much are set.However, if you are in the Android ecosystem, want one device with multiple eBook platforms, chatGPT, better Chinese translator, go all in on this. It's the best 8" android option we have so far with this level of processing, storage, and extras. Just don't think it's going camping with you. Now...a day outside at the park? Oh absolutely!

Grand passionné par la technologie eink depuis des années, je suis avec assiduité les innovations dans ce domaine. Et j'ai le plaisir de constater que les écrans couleurs sont arrivés grace à cet appareil muni de la technologie Kaleido 3. Certes cela n'est pas comparable aux couleurs de l'écran d'un iPad, notez le bien c'est important, mais pour quelqu'un comme moi qui passe ses journées de travail sur son ordinateur quel miracle de pouvoir passer ses soirées à lire magazine, comics, romans, règles de jeu, etc... sur cette tablette eink tout en bénéficiant d'un grand affichage de 10.3" et de la couleur, ce qui est très important pour les magazines et les comics.Certes si vous ne prévoyez de lire que des romans, vous n'aurez sans doute pas besoin d'un tel luxe, mais dans mon cas cela m'a changé mes soirée et motivé a lire beaucoup plus.Enfin l'appareil sous Android propose le Google play store et supporte de nombreux formats de fichiers et s'adaptera aux usages que vous voudrez bien inventer.Lié à quelques formules d'abonnement de magazine ou quotidiens, cela deviendra peut-être comme pour moi votre nouvelle routine pour vous sortir des écrans classiques et passer votre soirée à lire et écrire pratiquement comme sur du papier, miracle de la technologie.je ne fait jamais de commentaires ici, mais cette technologie souvent méconnu mérite à l'être beaucoup plus.Merci Bigme!

Empiezo por lo último. Hacienda me ha notificado que aporte copia del pedido, factura y justificante de pago, ya que "el valor del envío podría no haberse declarado correctamente". No sé, si esto es habitual o no, pero a mí nunca me habia pasado y no sé qué consecuencias puede tener.En cuanto al producto en sí, paso a comentar un poco lo bueno y lo malo.Empiezo por lo positivo, aunque sólo hay una cosa realmente a destacar y que justificaría el alto precio: la pantalla es de tinta electrónica y no cansa la vista, es como leer en papel. También cabría mencionar que incluye una funda, aunque no se pueda usar a modo de atril y que se pueden instalar aplicaciones de Google Play.En los aspectos negativos tendré que pararme un poco más, ya que tiene unos cuantos. En primer lugar el elevado precio de adquisición: en su favor tengo que decir cuando hice la compra, la diferencia con su más directo rival (también disponible en Amazon.es) era de algo más de 200 euros. Pero, aunque creo que no son directamente comparables, por el dinero que pagas o incluso por menos, cualquier tablet de pantalla lcd da una mejor experiencia de uso. Y es que tanto la mala respuesta del panel táctil (más que tocar, hay que pulsar para que responda) junto con la lentitud de respuesta del dispositivo, hacen a este Bigme sólo apto para tareas poco exigentes como leer / escribir texto o navegar por internet.Para no extenderme demasiado resumo rápidamente otros aspectos negativos:Autonomía escasa y no incluye cargador, solo cable usb c: tengo que cargar la batería todos los dias, si haces un uso intensivo no llega al final del dia.Giro automático de pantalla: mejor desconectarlo, el funcionamiento es realmente malo.Sonido: Deja mucho que desear, a nivel de gama baja.Cámaras: No les encuentro utilidad ni como escaner de documentos, ya que no funciona el reconocimiento de texto (OCR). No he probado videoconferencia, aunque no esperaría grandes resultados.Efecto ghosting: omnipresente, pero tolerable, te llegas a acostumbrar.Uso como monitor secundario: Funciona por wifi mediante la aplicacion Spacedesk, pero es poco práctico ya que la velocidad de refresco de la pantalla hace que el uso del ratón sea un verdadero suplicio.Sistema operativo: Lleva un android 11 limitado pero relativamente estable, aunque con un funcionamiento bastante errático; como texto que no ajusta a la pantalla o sin traducir, o notificaciones que suenan pero no se muestran.Lector de huellas: No siempre funciona a la primera.Pantalla: La baja calidad y resolucion de las imágenes en color junto con la escasa tasa de refresco condicionan bastante el visionado. Además, el fondo de pantalla es más oscuro que el de una pantalla eink en blanco y negro.Por ultimo he de decir que he tenido que pagar aranceles de aduana, aunque tras ponerme en contacto con la marca, me los han abonado.En resumen, este producto solo es recomendable si, como es mi caso, tienes algun tipo de problema en la vista que te impida o limite el uso de pantallas tradicionales, en otro caso seria tirar con el dinero. A pesar de todos los inconvenientes que presenta, se me ha hecho una herramienta imprescindible que uso a diario, ya que me permite leer y editar texto o navegar por internet durante horas sin perjudicar mi vista, sólo por eso ya hace que su compra valga la pena.Espero que esta reseña os haya sido útil.
