Best b/w ereader in 2026 with focus only on reading?

I skipped over Boox Go 6 because of all the apps and stuff they have on there. Not my cup of tea, the fewer features the better lol.

XTEINK S4 Price and Preorder Details

it's not just battery life, I have an Onyx Boox Go 7 running android and it's so sluggish, sure you can use kindle and kobo apps but it's absolutely not enjoyable, both apps are slow as fuck, glitchy, not optimized. Android is not developed for devices with 500mb ram or even 2GB ram

Gibt es E-Reader die halbwegs flüssig funktionieren?

Schau in die Android e-Tablet rein (Onyx Boox, Bigme, Meebook,), da findest du womöglich was zackigeres. Nur vom 6" Schwarz/Weiß Gerät von Boox (Boox Go 6?) habe ich aufgeschnappt dass die nicht sonderlich schnell sind, darüber hinaus musst du selbst schauen. Den Preis den du für eine bessere CPU +A

First ereader

I heartily dislike the Amazon UI. I can't manipulate metadata as I wish. Between Calibre and Google Drive or DropBox integration (depending on the model), I'd recommend Kobo. I have a Boox Go 6 which is fine but much more fiddly for the reading experience. I bought it for Hoopla and other apps but o

Thinking of buying my first ereader and need tips!!! 2nd hand boox go 6 | 2nd hand kobo libra 2 | bnew kindle gen ppw 12gen | bnew kindle gen 11 | bnew kindle ppw5 | kindle ppw colorsoft se???

Don't buy the boox go 6, it's slow and old, hopefully boox will come out with a new one soon. The only android 6 inch ereader to buy now would be the bigme b6. Dont get the bigme read 6 by accident it's even slower than the boox go 6.

Looking for cheap small ereader for Libby, Reddit, calibre.

Spend a little more around $180US and get the bigme b6, you can get it in b&w or color. Before the b6 came out I would have recommended the boox go 6. The b6 is 2x better than the boox, android 14 vs 11, 4+64 memory vs 2+32, 2.4 cpu vs 1.8, 2300mah battery vs 1500mha, speaker and microphone and ai v

Best boox for manga

Don't get the boox go 6. It's old and slow. If you want a 6 inch get the bigme b6 its a lot better. The 7 inch boox go 7 is a lot better for reading comics and much faster than the go 6. If you don't need color don't get one as your primary reader, they are great as a second ereader, I have one and

Looking for a big and a small, cheap one

While the boox go 6 is a ok choice, its old and slow. The best 6 inch android ereader is the bigme b6. It's android 14 vs 11, 4+64gb vs 2+32, 2.4 octocore vs 1.8 quad-core, speaker vs no speaker, and 3000mha vs 1500mha battery. It's avaliable in color and b&w around $180 US. For large and cheap ther

Will there be an Android update

This has happened twice before - due to split-screen mode in Android 7; for Boyue Likebook’s large devices, from Android 6 to Android 8.1; and for such Onyx Boox’s devices, from Android 6 to Android 9. Boyue Likebook went bankrupt shortly thereafter, and Boox faced enormous difficulties due to devic
