How to Read and Annotate EPUB Files on BOOX Note (2026 Guide)

BOOX Note devices run Android with a large E Ink display — ideal for reading and annotating EPUB files, PDFs, and academic papers. This guide covers loading EPUB files onto your BOOX Note, the best reading apps to use, and tips for annotating academic content.

BOOX Note Overview

BOOX Note devices are Android-based E Ink tablets made by Onyx International. Unlike dedicated e-readers (Kindle, Kobo), BOOX Note runs a full Android OS, which means you can install any Android reading app from the Play Store — including KOReader, Moon+ Reader, Apple Books, and Kindle. The large screen (typically 10.3 inches) and stylus support make BOOX Note particularly popular with academics, medical professionals, and students who read and annotate dense PDF and EPUB content.
