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

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.

Boox Go Color 7 gen II if you want color Boox Go 7 if you want black and white Nothing that runs android is going to have better battery life than a Linux ereader (like a Kindle), so you'll need to greatly lower your expectations on that. That said, these tablet's battery life is still pretty good!

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

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.

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

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

If you want crisp text and contrast and good lighting don’t choose the colour but the black and white 😅 I shall give you two pictures. It’s my boox poke 3 compared to my boox go color 7 gen 2. First one without light and second one light on max and no warmth.

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
