I answer lots of the common questions about the Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2 Lumi:
Can You Use a Different Pen on the Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2?
Is there Weird Behaviour with the Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2 Stylus?
Have E-Ink Given Up on Wacom EMR?
Where Will I Put the Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2 in My Top 10?

In this update on the Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2, I look at a strange bit of stylus behaviour I noticed while drawing, especially around pressure and the ends of strokes. I compare it with an EMR-equipped Boox device, try another stylus, and talk through whether Boox may need to offer more pen options in future.
I also get into a bigger question: have some e-ink brands started moving away from Wacom EMR, and if so, why? Along the way I revisit where the Go 10.3 Gen 2 might deserve to sit in my top 10 ranking.
