I got a Bigme b6 and it made me realize how good and high quality my Boox air 5c is

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

Boox Go or Palma

I've done reasearch on it, and honestly, while the Palma is long and narrow, the Go 6 is shorter, but wider. They're both small devices. THIS video compares them. The palmas are significantly higher spec'd, and thus are faster. The Go 6 only has 2gb of ram, so a lot of people say it's sluggish. Go 6

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

Gibt es E-Reader die halbwegs flüssig funktionieren?

Schau in die Android e-Tablet rein (Onyx Boox, Bigme, Meebook,), da findest du womöglich was zackigeres. Nur vom 6" Schwarz/Weiß Gerät von Boox (Boox Go 6?) habe ich aufgeschnappt dass die nicht sonderlich schnell sind, darüber hinaus musst du selbst schauen. Den Preis den du für eine bessere CPU +A

What does your launcher home screen look like?

I am using inkOS launcher. Olauncher and its derivatives/forks are laggy in my Boox Go 6.

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

Thinking of buying my first ereader and need tips!!! 2nd hand boox go 6 | 2nd hand kobo libra 2 | bnew kindle gen ppw 12gen | bnew kindle gen 11 | bnew kindle ppw5 | kindle ppw colorsoft se???

Don't buy the boox go 6, it's slow and old, hopefully boox will come out with a new one soon. The only android 6 inch ereader to buy now would be the bigme b6. Dont get the bigme read 6 by accident it's even slower than the boox go 6.

Looking for cheap small ereader for Libby, Reddit, calibre.

Spend a little more around $180US and get the bigme b6, you can get it in b&w or color. Before the b6 came out I would have recommended the boox go 6. The b6 is 2x better than the boox, android 14 vs 11, 4+64 memory vs 2+32, 2.4 cpu vs 1.8, 2300mah battery vs 1500mha, speaker and microphone and ai v

Best boox for manga

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
