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

Haaated It. My super-subpar Boox Go 7 Color tab experience so far.

A quick non ai summary: I bought a stylus that is not intended to work with the device. Than I didn't even bother to go through the settings to see if I can make the font bigger. Yep it's alk boox fault - I too have a go 7 color and known from the start it won't be best for notes. All in all it's an

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

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

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

Thoughts about Bigme B6

I was checking: Bigme B6 Color Kobo Clara Colour Pocketbook Verse Pro Color Boox Go 7 Gen II (too expensive for me here at $ 375.00) I went for the black B6 Color because it can run any app out there for an e-reader, has Google Play store, it is fast and has a MicroSD slot up to 1TB. And ... it read

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

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.

Sadly that's what we have to accept buying this tier of Chinese devices. Support is super slow and inefficient to the point it's not existent. The boox go 7 latest firmware broke my main use for the device. I reported to them exactly what's wrong which should be an easy enough fix and besides acknow
