Welcome to this episode of Change Chat, recorded on July 3, 2025, with my good friend Kit Betts-Masters , talking about my journey into exploring other e-paper tablets. Our focus was mostly on the Boox Note Air 4C and the Supernote Manta. It was a great discussion and we really went into the reasons why someone might choose Boox over Supernote, as well as what each of these devices has to offer. There was, as always, some quick-witted banter back and forth. As always, thanks to Kit for hosting and being an amazing person.

This episode was recorded on Sunday, December 29, at 4:00pm (U.S. Central Time). During this time together, we dove deep into the decision of whether to upgrade to the  @supernote_official  A5X2 Manta from the original A5X. I provided my insights on over 3.5 years with the A5X and how it compares to the Manta, as well as discussed multiple scenarios for a purchase. Hopefully the discussion can help you make an informed decision if you are in the market for a new e-ink device, or if you are already a Supernote fan and just want to get a different perspective.Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
