Bought an Onyx Boox Go 7 - battery lasts 1–2 days. Should I get a Kindle Paperwhite and gift the Onyx?

I don't know about that one. My Boox Go 6 without WiFi or Bluetooth and with little night reading is able to last me a month of reading. I read for 1-2 hours per day.So I don't know what you're doing with your device or what apps you have installed, but this is ridiculous battery life on such a devi

I would not but that's just me but if you feel that you prefer better battery life than the freedom to have any ebook e-commerce site or apps on your device and as well as own your own content. boox is Android based device the paperwhite has proprietary OS or Linux most likely so it's going to have

Best eReader for note taking and highlighting combined with being able to read it in the full sun. UK. Particular Feature Wishlist Within

“Shit” is subjective, LOL. Colour eInk is about the most divisive issue there is though in the e-reader world (more than Kindle vs Kobo, almost). It’s OK in bright daylight but in every other light condition, it’s … IMHO, worse; objectively, darker, greyer, dimmer, has less contrast compared to mono

Thinking of a Boox, which one?

Probably quite a bit better for the BW than my Boox Go 7 Colour Gen II, yeah - I get 8-10 hours of reading time on that (only using reading apps, wifi & bluetooth off, but colour screen -> need to have the light on quite high). Which is tolerable and better than my nine year old Kindle Oasis (which

Is a go color 7 worth it

i have boox go colour 7 gen 2 and i don’t like it. the screen is dark bc it is coloured e-ink, and that meant having screen lights on all the time to be able to read (unless you’re under the sun). for reading manga and webtoon, it is terrible especially if it is coloured. the ghosting, lag, and disp

Is there a replacement/upgrade to my Voyage out there somewhere?

I generally don't recommend Boox for anyone who just wants to read ebooks. They have a bigger up-front learning curve and also you really need to be able to troubleshoot now & then, in my experience. Other cons: the customer service is underwhelming, the expense, and extra battery drain running the

PocketBook Era Lite | Carta 1300

Yes, you are somewhat right about discussing the battery topic: some month ago a user complained that his new Kindle (which seem to generally have very good battery life) doesn't last as expected. The issue that came out was that the user read +6 hours a day 😂 and the user additionally apllied the 3

Boox Go 7 vs Kobo Libra Colour — keep or return? (still stuck 😭)

thanks for your reply! I guess i am worried by battery drain because of constantly needing the frontlight on but battery life is not great on the boox. At first i though the boox go 7 was darker than expected and I needed more light than anticipated but I am realizing it was just darker in the room

Best way to legally buy epubs?

Yes, I guess this is why Amazon allows “personal documents” - as long as someone has a Kindle, they may well also eventually buy ebooks from Amazon or use Kindle Unlimited (unless they live somewhere, like me, where it’s not available of course). And also since all other brands allow sideloading boo

convince me to buy kobo clara colour instead of kindle coloursoft (or vice versa)

on the boox no app for me works as good as Moonreader (basic reading app on boox devices). i think the biggest issue for me is poor battery life on my go 6 (i recharge it every 4-6 days. i read with wifi off and brightness at minimum). i’d like to try a colour e-reader with better battery life (i do
