If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Someone has been asking me the secret of being able to read more than 50 books a year, and my answer is – the ink screen reader.
Distraction and information cocoons caused by APP push. And the Aragonite tab10 I bought on Double Eleven is to upgrade the ink screen in my hand from a reader to an office tablet, and become my main creative tool in the future.
Magnetic keyboard case turns Aragonite tab10 into a one-stop text workstation
For Aragonite tab10, I can say it was love at first sight. I wanted to watch the Leaf2 at the press conference, but the moment I saw the tab10 magnetic keyboard case, I knew it was the ideal creative tool in my mind.
As a Surface user for many years, users who love Sophie must know the magnetic keyboard. For the Aragonite tab10, the design of the magnetic keyboard + bracket + protective cover makes the tab10 suitable for different application scenarios. Become the bucket machine of ALL IN ONE.
The magnetic design on the back allows the user to easily take out the tab10 from the protective case, and hold it in the hand alone without the case. The tab10 is a large-size ink screen reader, which is easy to read books, comics, and PDFs. Thanks to the newly upgraded cover technology, the thinner cover of tab10 can obviously feel the text is closer and more vivid on the paper.
The biggest disadvantage of the 10-inch ink screen reading is that it is inconvenient to hold due to the weight. After adding a protective cover, it feels heavier in the hand. The feature of the detachable magnetic protective case is that it allows the user to reduce the weight of the protective case while reading and immerse themselves in reading more. Of course, if the tab10 is purely used for reading, I still prefer to use the keyboard to turn pages or connect a Bluetooth page turner to read comics.
The keyboard of Aragonite tab10 is also a protective cover. The pure black appearance is quite business-like when holding a pen next to it in the hand. I also like the side adsorption design of the pen of Aragonite tab10. I usually suddenly think of some inspiration or a meeting. It is very convenient to memorize some things. I will talk about the handwriting experience first and put it behind the typing experience.
And when the keyboard is connected, the tab10 seems to be upgraded to an eye-protecting laptop for office use! Thanks to Aragonite’s release of the high-refresh chip in the ink screen display in the tab series, the refresh speed of the tab10 is so fast that people forget that this is an ink screen device! When I installed a lot of office apps and immersed myself in writing with this keyboard, I even forgot that this is an Android device, subconsciously looking for where my mouse is hhh
High-brush technology makes the ink screen possible to become a tablet
As a heavy user of Kindle, I have used my Kindle to read more than 300 books in the past 7 years. When Kindle announced its withdrawal from the Chinese market, I realized that there are many manufacturers of ink screens in China. And my reading application scenarios are no longer limited to reading in Kindle Bookstore. Domestic APPs such as WeChat Reading, Douban Reading, and Get APP have also become the main applications for my reading. More than that, I also hope that the comfortable eye protection experience of the ink screen can be reflected in the office scene.
However, limited by the refresh technology of ink screen eink, at the other end of the scale of ink screen eye protection, it is a problem of refresh rate. The bad experience of low refresh rate and high afterimage made the office scene of ink screen more limited to handwriting for a long time. Many manufacturers had the experience of unrolling handwriting until the birth of the aragonite tab series. Aragonite added the high-refresh chip in the ink screen display to the tab series. This “dimension reduction strike” makes the typing experience on the tab series achieve high refresh rate and low afterimage.
Here I choose [Pure Writing] + [Onyx Input Method] that comes with the tab10 system, and set it to [High Speed Mode]. You can see that the effect of keyboard input is completely free of delay, and afterimages hardly affect writing. experience.
If the input method is set not to follow the cursor at the bottom, then the input part of the text will not feel afterimages at all, but in order to improve the efficiency of input, I still choose the input box keyboard to follow, anyway, there is only one on the keyboard if you want to swipe all The shortcut key thing.
Seeing this, some people may ask, I have a desktop computer, notebook or iPad, why do I need an ink screen as an office device? This question is equivalent to asking why you have a PC and prefer to play games on PS5. The gap in experience is completely different. Let me talk about how tab10 liberates productivity.
Focused, versatile, and interoperable, tab10 is a tool to liberate the productivity of text workers
If the focus of the ink screen reader in the Kindle era is: portability + focus,
Then in the post-kindle era, the focus of the ink screen reading tablet represented by aragonite is: focus + ALL IN ONE + interoperability.
concentrate on
From reading to writing, I always think that the biggest help that the ink screen brings me is to improve my concentration. In this era when we watch videos and have to accept 10 barrage messages at the same time, the ink screen can make us more focused.
When reading a book, there are no push notifications from the mobile phone, and when writing, there will be no harassment from Party A and the boss on WeChat. Coupled with the eye protection features of the ink screen without blue light and strobe, it can allow writers to immerse themselves in writing for several hours. Now I use tab10 to write continuously for two hours, and then I go back to the computer and open WeChat and QQ to focus on various things.
Of course, if you are a freelancer like me, you can also choose a sunny afternoon, wear a Bluetooth headset with tab10, go to Starbucks to order a cup of coffee, and then how long you can write continuously depends on how long you have Need to go to the bathroom.
On the desktop of Aragonite tab10, there is also a [Internet Reading] function that I really like. In this era of big data feeds where your mobile phone knows better than you what you want to buy, RSS subscription, a product that has been abandoned by Google in the last century, is the most effective way to obtain information. After all, everyone’s RSS subscription stream has been repeatedly screened and is valuable; instead of recommending it to you based on big data after watching a few videos on Douyin, all of them are aimed at your human weakness and are meaningless for entertainment.
In the same way, I also like [POCKET] in the tab10 app store. Such an app for reading later allows me to focus on a period of time every day to digest the long articles that I usually brush but have no time to read.
ALL IN ONE
Before I got the tab10, I didn’t believe that there was an ink screen device that could do ALL IN ONE. Before my purchase, I still tended to give different jobs to different ink screen devices. After I got the tab10, it seems that my other devices can be hung with salted fish or given away.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the magnetic keyboard makes tab10 suitable for different scenarios.
1. The separate tab10 is an ink screen reader
You can find an outdoor chair on weekends and hold it in your hand to read books, comics, and literature.
2. Tab10+ pen, learning records are correct
You can put it on the desktop to open the dual-screen mode, take notes while reading or use it to brush up questions. It is very suitable for comparative reading and learning.
Aragonite’s PDF reading ability is recognized in the industry, one-click watermark removal, automatic edge trimming, document rearrangement… I won’t expand here. If you have a lot of PDF readers, you can enter Aragonite’s according to your budget needs. The device must be right.
You can record some key points during the meeting, and even if you don’t have time to remember, you can turn on a tape recorder to record the meeting. As long as your handwriting is not uglier than mine, there is a 90% probability that your handwriting will be recognizable. I know that if you don’t have to send an email, you won’t bother to remember it.
3. tab10+ magnetic keyboard, the ultimate workstation for text workers
If the above two functions can also be achieved by other ink screens of 7 inches and 10 inches respectively, then the typing experience of tab10 is the only one on the market.
The magnetic keyboard is ALL IN ONE in the physical sense, no need to bring a Bluetooth keyboard. In terms of functions, the optimized apps in the tab10 official app store alone can meet almost all my office needs, such as WPS, Shimo documents, Tencent documents, and even Feishu collaborative office.
I even thought, if I was still an editor and wanted to run a press conference back then, with an artifact like tab10, the publishing speed would definitely be much faster than other media.
Interoperable
Interoperability not only refers to the [open system] that the official has always emphasized that can install APP, but also includes: openness, transmission, interoperability and other efficient office closed-loop capabilities. Through tab10, I have created interoperability in various scenarios, and interoperability is also a point that I value very much. After all, note-taking software needs two-way links these days, and job hunting has to go both ways.
From the source of the content, the content received on WeChat can be directly sent to the bound Aragonite device, and the books downloaded from the Internet can also be transferred to each other through the Aragonite mutual transmission function. After installing the BOOX assistant on the mobile phone, you can also push the files on the mobile phone to tab10 very conveniently. The usefulness of this push function is that it does not require tab10 to be fully connected to the Internet, but to push the files to the server. tab10 Accept the file the next time you go online. In addition, it is also very convenient to transfer files from tab10 to PC and mobile through BOOX mutual transmission and BOOX assistant. Multi-terminal intercommunication greatly improves work efficiency!
Let me talk about an actual usage scenario in my work. I received a script on WeChat, and then I sent it to tab10 directly from WeChat with one click. I took tab10 off the magnetic keyboard and lay on the sofa to read the script. Hold a pen in one hand and write comments that need to be revised. After the annotation is completed, send it back to the PC or mobile terminal through tab10 to complete a closed loop of work.
In terms of reading, the default reading software of the system can realize the progress interoperability of Aragonite devices, and the open system based on Android 11 can also install more reading software. Personally, I prefer to use WeChat reading, and the cloud that comes with the app The synchronization function achieves multi-terminal synchronization. Especially for those with a lot of equipment like me, if you are tired of reading on the desk, you can change to a small-screen device and lie on the sofa to continue reading.
In terms of writing, because of the high performance of tab10, there are enough software that can be installed, and there are many options. The following is based on the two principles of ALL IN ONE and intercommunication, I have selected some apps that are currently in use, and cooperate with the tab ink screen to really improve efficiency and liberate productivity.
Some apps that my tab10 is currently using
Finally, let me introduce some of the apps that I am currently using on tab10. These are optimized in the official store. In the app description of the official store, you can also see that Aragonite has optimized various apps to varying degrees. For example, both Evernote and WPS have been optimized for handwriting, and reading-related software has also been optimized for display to better adapt to the ink screen. Of course, if you still want to install some APPs that are not available in the official store, tab10 is based on the Android 11 open system and you can install whatever you want. After installation, users can also customize the display parameters of each APP individually to achieve The best display.
1. Writing
1 pure writing
An Android writing tool that was highly rated on Zhihu before, mainly used for writing manuscripts and scripts. The biggest advantage is that it can be synchronized with Nutstore, so you don’t have to worry about the sudden loss of progress. And support MARKDOWN, but the preview of MARKDOWN needs to be a member. The experience of using Aragonite Tab10 is also very good.
2 Tencent Documentation
The main tool for my own office, usually used to remember some things that need to be shared, and it is very useful for multi-terminal synchronization and sharing. If you have higher requirements for document security, tab10’s official app store also has Feishu.
3 curtains
When I saw the built-in curtain and flomo in the official app store of tab10, I knew that tab10 is very good at office, and these two models are very suitable for organizing some scattered ideas.
Two, reading
1. WeChat reading
After Kindle quit China, my reading time on WeChat reading has exceeded 100 hours. Wechat reading is also very convenient, and the progress can be synchronized on each device.
2. System default reader
For some book sources downloaded from the Internet, I prefer to send them to tab10 with one click and open them with the system’s default reader, which supports various typesetting modifications and conversion between simplified and traditional. These functions are especially applicable when you usually download some mystery novels in vertical and traditional characters.
I always feel that when you find that you can’t read a book, you probably don’t have good reading tools at hand.
3. Online reading
tab10 put the web reading tool on the desktop, which surprised me once again. In this era where everyone passively accepts the push of information algorithms, only by actively sorting out and obtaining information can one become a strong intelligence agent. Thanks to tab10 for allowing me to reorganize my RSS feed, which is different from various information streams on the Internet. Here are the most valuable content I have sorted out by myself.
4. POCKET
It is another treasure software that I like very much. I usually use the PC browser plug-in and mobile terminal to save the long articles that I have swiped but have no time to read, and choose a complete time every day to read and think.
3. Entertainment
1. bilibili comics
Reading comics on a 10-inch screen is great! The only disadvantage is that tab10 does not support 256-level grayscale dithering at present, and the comics will have a better experience after the update.
2. Zhihu
After adding the high-speed chip in tab10, the ink screen is not good at sliding browsing, and it is so silky when swiping Zhihu, and even the experience of swiping to some videos is also very good.
3. Himalayas
Because I just bought a member of Himalaya not long ago, I also note that the frequency of using Himalaya is high.
The above is just a selection of some apps in the tab10 app store. As an Android 11 system device, you can also install more apps you want by yourself.
What kind of people need aragonite tab10?
Finally, let’s summarize what kind of people need a tab10 the most.
A text worker who makes a living by writing can improve your writing immersion and efficiency.
Editing, finance, programmers and other occupations that need to stare at the screen for 8 hours a day, the ink screen without blue light is more eye-friendly, reducing blue light and saying goodbye to hair loss and melatonin.
There are high-frequency meeting recording needs in the workplace, and I prefer typing to handwriting. If you use a desktop computer in your office, it is a good choice to add a tab10 as a secondary screen.
Regardless of office needs, if you want to add a large ink screen for professional reading or annotation, X2 can already satisfy you.
If you have never touched an ink screen, and you usually like to read books and want to use your commuting time, then the price of Leaf2 is more suitable for entry.
In order to increase productivity and improve work efficiency, in addition to constantly arming yourself with knowledge, updating production tools is also very important.
In addition to taking pictures, this article was completed through tab10, which took 6 hours. The text part is written through pure writing, and the mind map is made with curtains. If you like it, please like it. If the feedback is good, you may also open a series of details about how some of the tools you are using now improve my reading and work efficiency.
