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

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

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

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
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

Which to choose between Kindle, Kobo and Onyx Boox Go
Kobo Libra 2. It doesn't support stylus, only the Libra Color does, but I like it. The Boox Go 7 Color Gen 2 is also a good option, but keep in mind the stylus will only work in apps that support it, but of course, being Android you have the ability to install apps in the first place. If you're just

Kindles and DRM...take 2...a more visual version of yesterday's list...probably should have done it this way to start
You misunderstood my comment: a 10 year old tablet now has a maximum of Android 6 (android 7 was released in August 2016). Given that when Boox Go 7 was released it was already 2 Android generations behind (release date April 2025 - 6 months after Android 15 release), you'd even have to compare it t

Onyx Boox Go Color 7 (gen ii), page turn buttons not working
Not all apps do, yes. It’s a pity but I guess not all app designers consider that some people will have devices with some sort of buttons. :( (It’s annoying. The main app I got my Boox Go 7 for - a local subscription service app - doesn’t recognise any buttons at all, and it’s so frustrating, especi
