Go 6

You are comparing apples to oranges. You can't compare a $180 device to a $550 one. The build quality is fine on the b6 it doesn't feel cheap at all, In fact it feels really solid. I don't like how they made rounder corners for comfort but then made all the edges sharp. But that doesn't make it feel

Honestly, this is probably not the device for image-heavy PDF files, in my opinion. You may be better served with a larger e-ink device. I have used some of the larger color e-ink devices from Onyx Boox for this purpose. They are not cheap, but provide a much nicer experience.

Agree entirely. It is shocking, actually how little energy they seemingly put into their native reader. This is the top bottom margin using Koreader on it. With what it gives on the Read extension I might as well just use my 6" Boox Go and it's the exact same page. Irrelevant sidenote, the width of

Boox go 6 or go 7. Also, have very very low expectations for color devices. Marketing photos of them are ridiculous… They make the color look more vibrant than it is IRL, and they artificially lighten the screen’s background making it appear more like a book instead of a very very dark gray. Definit

Don't get the boox go 6. It's old and slow. If you want a 6 inch get the bigme b6 its a lot better. The 7 inch boox go 7 is a lot better for reading comics and much faster than the go 6. If you don't need color don't get one as your primary reader, they are great as a second ereader, I have one and

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

I advise you not to update the firmware. The newest firmware of Boox Go 6 is terrible. It slows down the device a bit and ruins the eink experience (create more ghosts and flicker @@)

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

The b6 is in many ways better than boox go 6 ereaders. They have better ghosting, faster, less reports of screens breaking, have speakers. The only things better on the boox is the reading app when using pdf files. Most complain about the color but that's with any color ereader and now the b6 is ava

So, wanted to close out the thread. I got an Onyx Boox, but ended up returning it and giving up on e-readers, for the reason of the screen being too dark. The point was to have a non-backlit screen i could use to write in the evening, for the purpose of saving my eyesight, but it ended up being a bi
