Boox Go 6

Can confirm it's not a faulty device, it's just how it is. The reason being it's an Android device and the hardware is minimal + the eink slowness adds to the perception it's laggy. Kindle has an optimised software, that's why it's more snappy. My recommendations would be to check the updates, insta

Replacement for Nova 2?

Don't waste your time with the Boox Go 6, it has too low RAM to be functional. Go 7 is great but all modern eink devices are fragile like eggs

New Pocketbook models this year?

Well, all Pocketbook has done in the last 4 years is bring out one color e-reader after the next. The only bw e-readers they have released in 2025 and 2026 (Inkpad one and Verse lite) have only 226ppi!! The current Era and Inkpad 4 have worse contrast than every other e-reader on the market (Boox Go

Will there be an Android update

This has happened twice before - due to split-screen mode in Android 7; for Boyue Likebook’s large devices, from Android 6 to Android 8.1; and for such Onyx Boox’s devices, from Android 6 to Android 9. Boyue Likebook went bankrupt shortly thereafter, and Boox faced enormous difficulties due to devic

BOOX Go 6 vs PocketBook Verse vs Kobo Clara BW

So i can't speak about Pocketbook but from anecdotal stories i've heard, they seem pretty solid (i bet a bunch of the amazon reviews weren't willing to do the work to get it set up). I have a Kobo Clara BW and i love it to bits (even though it's not my primary reader anymore). I can say the OS is de

6'' Ereader what to choose.

Oh, sorry. I didn't see you wanted to read manga. It's a little small at 6", but go for the Bigme B6, which comes in a black and white and color variant. The Boox Go 6 is alright, but the B6 has much better hardware. The Boox has a better software experience out of the box, but they're both Android

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

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
