Re-viewing AmericaNovember 2, 2020 at 11:18 PM On Election Eve, I’m taking a break from the anger and the stress. I’m looking back on a project I once participated in that gave me hope about America: the Art of the State book series.

I am an owner of a new Boox Note Air. While I think it is a really neat device, I don't particularly want to make all of my notes and scribbles available to the Onyx people. I would however like to have a way to back them up. I know that I can save them as PDF's, but I would like to save in a format that I could load back into the Note editor. However, so far, I can't even find where the native (non-PDF) ...Tags: Books, Onyx Boox, Onyx, Boox Note Air While 6 people like this.
