I just bought a Boox Nova 3 https://www.boox.com/nova3/ after having a Boox Note Air which arrived with a cracked screen. I LOVE my kindle, but wanted to be able to take notes as well, and I don't want the glare from an iPad screen.

Honestly, if somebody made an e-ink cover for an iPad that would turn off the main LCD screen, I'd have probably gone for that. I was considering making one myself, but I've got too many projects on the go already.

If I could take notes on a kindle (which I'm sure is coming soon), I'd do that in a second!

Does this one handle PDFs well? My only experience with an e-ink device is the very old first gen Nook, which did not handle PDFs the greatest. I am pretty interested in a dedicated e-ink device just for reading mostly PDFs and some epubs.

According to the reviews, they're very good at handling PDFs, but I haven't tried.
