I am in a crisis
I have had a kobo touch (quilted back), kindle paperwhite 2018, Kobo Libra 2, Kobo Libra Color, boox palma, and now boox go 7 gen 2. Ended up returning the KLC (dead pixel and hated the color filter on the screen) and Boox Palma (did not have the patience to set it up, and did not use it enough to j

Help me avoid buyers remorse, please!
Living out side of the us, a Kindle is not recommend if you want to use your local library it will not work. Kindle and kobo are about the same, they limit you to only one book store. You can side load books on both devices, but it requires a seperate computer and a little knowledge. A android eread

Thoughts on Boox color go 7 gen 2
I love my Boox Go Color 7 gen 2. Idk why people hate on it so much. Unless you’re trying to use it to browse the web or watch videos it’s great.

Reader suggestions ❤️
Bigme and Boox are the big ones that are eink android devices. There's a comparison chart to compare models you can check out. Just plug in the devices. Compare Boox go color 7 gen 2 if you want color or Boox go 7 if you want monochrome are my votes. I have a Boox Go Color Gen 2, and it's amazing! I

Looking for an Android-friendly, open Color e-reader
For 7" i think the The Onyx BOOX Go Color 7 Gen II may meet your needs. I have an older BOOX, not this specific device. Generally I have found their devices to be well built. Software support lasts a year after release. Gen II was released in May 2024, so I expect the final firmware to be release th

When is the next gen of go color gen two expected to come, anyone knows?
Boox does not design the main component of the device, the screen. They, and all other e-ink device manufacturers, buy the screens from a single company called E-ink. The E-ink company makes literally 100% of all e-ink screens on the market today. Vendors like boox just buys the latest model and put

Suggestions for non-kindle ereaders? Amazon is scummy and my experience with their support makes me want to never buy another kindle.
Boox go 7. I have the color version, but the black/white (non- color) should be what you want. I have had the Paperwhite, and Oasis. Kindle Keyboard 3g too. Now I have a Boox device. It's a Boox Go Color 7 Gen 2, and it's amazing! It's like a Kindle Oasis, Colorsoft, Scribe, and Paperwhite had an ei

I just received my Book 7 gen 2 and it has a horrible ghosting
Definitely mess around with the settings. It takes a bit to figure out for sure. Each app is different, and it really depends on what you're doing. Scrolling is harder on it. I can share the settings I have going for a few apps if that helps. I have the Boox Go Color 7 Gen 2.

I treat my boox poorly and it works. For many years.
Doesn't seem worth the risk to be cavalier about the Boox. It's not like there is a version of Apple Care for it and I can ger it fixed or replaced easily. I'd be an idiot if I treated my Go Color 7 gen 2 that same way. My Kindle is durable enough, but not the Boox.

I feel scammed, honestly... (Bigme B6 experience)
I went to Boox go 7 gen 2 and it’s the best device I have. I have a lot of kindle and Boox gives me everything including physical page turn buttons that work on kindle.
