I also have the Note Air 2, and really don't feel a need for color at this point. It's my go-to e-reader, I have a little remote and a stand for it so I can just kick back in a chair or in bed and read. I couldn't be happier with it, the battery life is still amazing even after a LOT of use too.

If I need color for some reason I have a phone, tablet, laptop etc that do the job better than e-ink presently can.

Which remote do you use?
Just their standard one: https://shop.boox.com/products/onyx-boox-b-t-remoter?variant...

It's great for page flips, turning the backlight on and off, opening the top menu. Sadly it doesn't work for turning power off and on, but I suspect that can be fixed.

Can that device scroll a web browser?
Yes it can, but not in a way I'd ever want to do... it's very slow and halting. I would stick to using this remote primarily as a way to read books without needing hands on the device, for web browsing I suspect there are better options I'm unaware of.
Thank you.
