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

Best b/w ereader in 2026 with focus only on reading?
I skipped over Boox Go 6 because of all the apps and stuff they have on there. Not my cup of tea, the fewer features the better lol.

Dear Onyx, I’m a user, NOT your software tester! – DO NOT update to the 4.2 firmware.
The problem is that it’s gonna be endless (report the bugs -an update that fixes the bugs comes with new and maybe more serious bugs) This isn’t the first time. The firmware 4.1 ruined my Boox Go 6 and now the Note air 5c with the firmware 4.2. I just want Onyx to make it possible to downgrade the f

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

Any way to fix these awful top bottom white space on Read articles?
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

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.

First ereader
I heartily dislike the Amazon UI. I can't manipulate metadata as I wish. Between Calibre and Google Drive or DropBox integration (depending on the model), I'd recommend Kobo. I have a Boox Go 6 which is fine but much more fiddly for the reading experience. I bought it for Hoopla and other apps but o

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

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
