What’s a tiny design flaw in an everyday object that quietly annoys you every single time you use it?
I swapped to an Onyx Boox from Kindle so i could take notes (school + work + old) and omg I audibly gasped when I saw both the power button AND charging port on the side so you could rest it upright while charging... never going back!

WARNING: Do NOT Buy Onyx BOOX. $500 Note Air5 C turned into a DEAD BRICK in less than a month, and support has completely GHOSTED me.
Over the years, I have owned and used: Note 5 Note Air 3C Tab X Go 10.3 Note Max Note Air 5C Go 7 Palma Pro 2 Go 10.3 II Lumi All worked flawlessly with zero issues. That being said, I buy them on Amazon, not from Boox directly, so I can easily return them if I need to.

Onyx Boox will release Poke 7 on May 21st 2026
I thought I didn't need the buttons before getting my Boox Go 7, but now I will never go back. They are so convenient

Thanks for sharing. I have a Boox Go Color 7 and have been happy with it and was even considering getting the newer version or a Palma. But seeing your experience definitely makes me reconsider because I don’t want to deal with crappy customer service. Are there any other android e-readers out there

Anyone has a non-Kindle e-reader? Which one do you recommend?
The 2 big non-Kindle brands are Kobo and Onyx Boox. the difference being that Boox is Android-based so you can download different apps while Kobo is a closed system like Kindle. It depends on what you want out of your e-reader. I personally have a Boox Go 7" (in black/white) and I'm a big fan of it

Curious just curious
I don't know how to explain it other than it feels like reading a real book. There is something about the screen not emitting light. It just feels natural to me and I will always prefer to read books on e-ink screens. The quality of e-ink and specifically on monochrome screens went so much better in

Tell me why or why I shouldn’t get the boox go 6?
The Boox Go 6 fits your requirement if it’s within your budget. I have a Boox Poke 5 myself (the predecessor of Go 6 and very similar) and have been rocking it. If you’re okay with the smaller 6-inch screen rather than 7 or more, I’d say you’re going to love the Go 6. I’ve always loved the small for

E-ink screen
The thing about eInk screens is that the limitations of the technology really requires that you use software with UX that is built around those limitations. While ePaper displays with color do exist, the ones that can realistically be used on a tablet or laptop just have an LCD color filter layer. t

I switched to an Onyx Boox awhile ago and I really do love it. There's a lot to customize on it AND IT HAS PHYSICAL BUTTONS TO TURN PAGES!! You can also change what parts of the touchscreen are on when you're reading to avoid accidental page turns
