This is wonderful, you've created a Boox Go 7 without the peskily large display area.

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

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

Woah, so tappy, clicky and wobbly, I am never ever going to buy this. Thx alot for the video though! If THIS is the way to go, hopefully my EMR based Boox devices will last forever... such a bad decision of e-ink / Onyx.

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

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

The fragility of Boox and poor customer service is why I ordered the Kobo Libra Color instead of Boox Go 7. Having access to Hoopla on my ereader wasn't worth the extra money and fear of not being able to return or service it if something happened. I can probably purchase a good amount of hoopla ren

I went with the meebook m8, while its not as good as a boox go 7, I like the larger size. If boox made a 8 inch that wasn't 400+ I would buy from them but as of now they don't even sell a 8 inch ereader

If pfd and note taking are not a priority, then look at the bigme b7 or b7 pro. Thex have 2x the memory at 8x 128, the pro has a really fast chip bench mark is supposed to be like 7x as fast. Hopping boox comes out with a new boox go 7, but from how they updated the 10.3 I'm not sure it will be much

Probably quite a bit better for the BW than my Boox Go 7 Colour Gen II, yeah - I get 8-10 hours of reading time on that (only using reading apps, wifi & bluetooth off, but colour screen -> need to have the light on quite high). Which is tolerable and better than my nine year old Kindle Oasis (which
