I am loving my Boox! I actually bought a Kindle Colorsoft and Bigme B7 color to try them all, and I've returned them. These are the pros and cons. Kindle Colorsoft pros: -Longest battery life. -Color ink. Cons: -Kindle only options so no other reading apps like Libby, Hoopla, or Kobo. Bigme pros: -Runs on Android, so I was able to have all my reading apps in one place. -The best color e-ink out of them all. -Loved the buttons. -Came with pen and case. Cons: -Battery was the worst out of them all. -Doesn't have very many options for accessories or cases. Boox pros: -Runs on Android, so I was able to have all my reading apps in one place. -Battery life is mid, but it has an auto power off option after inactive use for an hour, which I love! -Has access to multiple accessories like a clear case and charging charms, similar to Kindle. -Loved the buttons. Cons: -Has the most Ghosting, but you can set one of the gestures as the refresh button, so it's still not a huge con.

    Great if you love tinkering

    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2025

    Color: BlackVerified Purchase

    First, let me preface that I'm a power user. I only really had 2 options when upgrading my Kindle: 1) purchase the most current Kindle and figure out how to jailbreak it to run Alpine Linux (and hope it doesn't get bricked at some point down the line), 2) get an Android based e-reader. The latter being a more turnkey solution, I looked at the offerings from Boox. As luck would have it, the v2 of the Color Go happened to be launching the same week that I started seriously considering making a purchase, so the timing was impeccable.

    With regards to the device itself, it feels pretty robust. The weight and feel of it is premium to my hands. The large bezel on the side makes it very easy to hold and I do like the texture on the back of the device for even better grip and feel. While the weight makes it feel more substantial than my outgoing Kindle, it's still nowhere near heavy enough for me to feel uncomfortable during 4-5 hour reading sessions. I think my own gripe with the device is that the volume buttons feel slightly loose in the housing, but this is being nitpicky. Battery life so far has been acceptable to me. With stock settings the device completely shuts down after 10-15 mins. At these power settings, the device easily lasts weeks between charges. Since the startup time of the device is quite long (~1 min), I only shut the device down after 8 hours of idling, since I don't always have long reading sessions. Oftentimes, I'll read a few chapters in between other activities, and doing this setting allows me to hop straight back in within 1-2 secs. Even at this setting I'm getting about a week of life.

    When it comes to actually using it, the glass of the screen has a nice finish and the touchscreen is plenty responsive for an e-reader. The resolution seems more than adequate for the content I consume. There are lots of refresh modes and a few toggles with regards to contrast and vividness, and I've found that each type of content has its own optimized setting.

    Manga: There's enough resolution and contrast to where this reads almost like an actual tankoban. Only downside is when using Viz or ShonenJump app, there's no way to map the volume buttons to page turn. I believe this is an app limitation, not a device limitation. My manga through the Kindle store works just fine.

    Comics: I was hoping to use this to catch up on back issues from series that I've fallen behind on. This is probably where the device is the weakest. The colors are muted and cause the screen to be very dark. I'll either have to turn up the brightness really high (which causes even more washing out of the color), or use an external light source. However, for my use case, this is still completely passable as the only other alternatives are to use a bulkier Android tablet, or reading from the actual raw books instead. This is mainly where I'm taking off a star, since this was my primary reason for going with color instead of black and white.

    Ebooks: Being that the device runs on Android, I have access to literally everything. Over the last decade, I've amassed a collection of DRM ebooks from different marketplaces, as well as random epubs and pdfs. I can read my Kindle books through the Kindle app, Google books through Google Books, etc.. I also have a Calibre server at home which I can easily access using this device. I'm able to open all of my books using its respective native app.

    Compared to other devices, there's a fair amount of customizability that you're able to do. The device is great once you figure everything out, and it's somewhat required to get the most out of it. That said, I suspect that people looking for a turnkey ereader for all of their content might get frustrated. As an Android and Linux user, I'm no stranger to any of this, and it's right up my alley.

    Last note, I had no desire to get the pen for this device since I have other devices for that. I have no idea if this feature is any good.

    Works great. Love that I can use different apps to read books. Love the convenience of having an app store and not being limited to one service. Good size and light weight. Battery has lasted and haven't had to worry about battery running low. page refresh is slower have iPad, but for e-reader, which is what I purchased for it's great. Wish I had found this before buying my daughter a kindle last year.

    Either I got a defective device or this is just terrible

    Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2025

    Color: BlackVerified Purchase

    I love my boox Palma but it broke recently. I was looking to get another boox product because I love having all my apps in one place. I used my Palma for everything like college readings, reading on regular apps, fanfics , comics and taking down small notes throughout the day. I loved it so much I got five other people to buy one. But I decided to try this device instead of the Palma two and I regret it.

    Some portions of the screen are darker than the rest. The top right and bottom right corners are noticeably darker and the text is fainter there. After looking further I think the whole right side is actually darker

    The battery only last 3-4 hours reading on the kindle app with Bluetooth , WiFi and other settings off. My Palma can last days if I’m just reading and on the same settings.

    For some reason the apps on here constantly close on their own and then glitches when I try to reopen it.

    The color is spotty as hell.

    The list of complaints can go on. Im honestly disappointed and aggravated. I don’t know if I got a defective Device or the color go 7 is just a terrible device.

    Well you won't usually find this product being advertised much in India. But it is a good alternative to your all day Android needs except for heavy tasks.

    If you are too much into web browsing and reading and don't want to strain your eyes then this is perfect solution… A blend of Android aswell as ereader…

    Only issue is you won't find its case easily.

    Also you can use it if you find your kids addicted to mobiles and don't want to strain their eyes.

    You can see the difference and it might not be suitable for everyone.

    Reviewed in Australia on July 10, 2025

    Color: BlackVerified Purchase

    I switched from Kindle to Boox a couple of years ago due to the open Android system. There are heaps of reading apps there.

    I upgraded to the Go 7 color Gen 2 from the Boox Poke 5. You can clearly see the difference. The Poke 5 is a pure black and white e-ink reader. Light, clear, and eye-comfortable, I am very happy with that and would like to try something new, like a color ebook, to read some comics, but I have noticed that compared to the Poke 5, it is clearly not as bright. Even with maximum lights on, the color is very weird. Yeah, no one might use it with maximum lights on, but just for reference. It is more like a grayscale reading experience. I am not sure if it is due to Kaleido 3; it is my first color ebook, so I cannot compare it with others, but for sure, if reading a pure ebook, I will still stick with my old Poke 5, and the color Go 7 Gen 2 may be more like a toy for some casual comic reading. Btw, the back of the Go 7 color Gen 2 is much easier to hold than the Poke 5.

    Lots of potential- Very disappointing

    Reviewed in Australia on August 22, 2025

    Color: BlackVerified Purchase

    I was so excited to get this ereader because it's Android.
    I found it easy to set up and download all my apps, etc. But the navigation was so slow. It was always freezing and i needed to restart it constantly.
    When reading in BorrowBox, if I decided to change the settings, the app would close and I had to restart it and navigate back to my book. A bit inconvenient considering the price.
    It may be that Borrowbox is a large app and the boox hasn't got enough memory to keep it open when changing the settings, but that was why I bought it, to read library books. Though I don't have that problem with Borrow box on my 8.1 Android Galaxy tab A which is 9 years old. It's just an eye burner to read books on for extended periods. Considering the boox is Android 14, it shouldn't have that problem.
    Also the ghosting and lagging were too much considering the price. And the colour isn't any great advantage.
    It's more economical and convenient to buy the books from Amazon and use my kindle than to buy the boox device.
