BOOX Tablet Go Color 7 ePaper E Ink Tablet 4G 64G Front Light (Black)

Android 12 is enough to give this ereader a wide range of abilities on top of reading books with colour. It is a very slim device. To get the best from reading you will need to tweak the settings but then it works well.

I bought this as liked the idea of a colour e ink device in a similar format to the Kindle Oasis and being able to load apps onto it through the Google Play store. I ended up returning it as I found the quality of the screen to be lacking. It was good for reading comics but ghosting was an issue, I mapped a long button press to the screen refresh and was having to refresh 3 times every page turn to get a clean image. When using the ebook reader for text only I found the text to be far too soft and dim. I think this is the nature of colour screen having multiple layers and just lacked the crispness I was used to from previously owning the Kindle Oasis. Any colour on the screen increases the refresh time and I wish there was a way to turn off the colour layer completely to speed things up and get a crisper image. I experimented with apps to limit the colour as there was no built in way to do this but it seems the screen often uses the colour layer to render black and white. It you view and black and white image tones of blue and green seem to come into it. In a nutshell I like the concept but I didn't really enjoy using it for reading due to the screen quality. I am going to get a Boox Tablet Go 10.3 instead as that looks much crisper and would rather have crisp monochrome than colour. Also I did find the screen size a little limited and even reading comics on guided mode I had to keep swapping screen orientation. I would have liked to compare mine to another one as the screen almost seemed defective with the amount of ghosting at times, mine was an Amazon Warehouse deal and also had a dead pixel so was one that others had returned.

I'm very disappointed. The Boox connected to my router, but wouldn't access anything on the Internet. I bought this from Amazon Warehouse as 'as new'. So the problem could be with the unit prior to my purchase. I'm not going to bother with warehouse deals again if they aren't checking them properly.

I returned this item, I found it too slow compared to my kindle 12 and for a color device I prefer the kobo color
