Does anyone regret getting a color ereader
I got the Boox Go 7 Colour Gen II and my biggest regret is that I didn’t get the BW instead. Lovely device but the screen is just too dark (and the colour too muddy/washed out to make seeing cover thumbnails in colour worth it). But I do have to say that I’m one of those people who prefers to read w

Is switching to a colour display really a downgrade? Need some purchasing advice
I have a Boox Go 7 Color G2 can say that it's a bit exaggerated, but there is enough of a downgrade in contrast where you will likely find yourself using the frontlight in situations where you probably didn't before - especially if you read in dark environments. Not ideal but perhaps find a place wi

Lightest Booksized Android
Not true at all in most reviews I've seen the bigme b7 is faster than the boox go 7 gen1/2, they have better ghosting, and more fps on videos, load apps faster. The boox does have a better note-taking app and works with pdf files better and have a better operating system. For most people just readin

Should I choose a Kobo Libra color or Boox Go7?
I have had Kindle Paperwhites and the Colorsoft. I have the KLC now and have had the Boox Go7 BW (and color, a couple years ago) in the past (just sold it this week actually). I love my KLC. The screen door effect does exist, but all you have to do is increase the weight of the text in your books an

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

First time
I went with the meebook m8, while its not as good as a boox go 7, I like the larger size. If boox made a 8 inch that wasn't 400+ I would buy from them but as of now they don't even sell a 8 inch ereader

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

PocketBook Era Lite | Carta 1300
While you are partly right with your points, I'll have to disagree with others. I have the Era Lite now for 24 hours and I am thinking of returning it... the reader is still slow, yes. But what really annoys me is that even with Carta 1300 and a recessed screen the contrast is still miles behind Kob

Does anyone regret getting a color ereader
A second return. Got a Boox Go 7 Gen II hoping to also read comics on it but decided to send back and get an iPad mini. Don’t like dragging my full iPad around but the colors just don’t work and the b&w experience was sub par. Felt the same about Palma 2 vs Palma pro and kept the b&w

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
