Just a reminder that Boox does not release the kernel source code and is thus violating GPL2

Seems an interesting way to be able to carry an e-reader in your pocket.

I have a Kobo, but it’s a bit too large to bring all the time with me.

Not sure hore good this is, but some years ago I bought my wife an Android ebook reader. It was so slow and cumbersome that I got her a Kindle and swore to myself never to touch an Android reader.

Bro just use your phone. If it’s android, use AIReader. Free, incredibly configurable, can read every type of book file. Dark mode, adjustable brightness for reading before bed. It gets so dark that I can’t even read the minimum setting in a pitch black room. Best e-reader app I’ve ever found and I’ve been using it for probably 10 years now.

Personally the attraction here with the boox is the e-ink screen. I also use my phone for reading pretty much everything but e-ink would be easier to look at for longer sessions.

I don’t know how relevant this is to you but I was looking at getting a Boox since it would easily let me read my Kindle and Kobo books on a single device without any hassle. However, it achieves this by running their apps so the books are segregated. There’s no one library with all your books. Your Kindle books are only on the Kindle app, your Kobo books are only on the Kobo app, your library books are only on the Libby app.

It sounded really tedious to have to flip between a bunch of different apps to track all my books so I decided to just stick with Kobo.

Hmm, it sounds like you need to use something like Calibre to export all your books to a single standard format.

What’s the benefit of a phone-sized e-reader? I always have my phone with me, and I do most of my reading on that.

I would like a larger e-reader, so I didn’t have to flip pages so often, but not enough to pay for it.

Probably the benefits of reading on eink which is less straining on the eyes but in a smaller form factor

For the price I would want it to be a complete smartphone, with SIM and GPS and everything, just with an e-ink display for battery saving and readability in sunlight.

Blaze OP ,

The SIM would be nice indeed

ultranaut ,

I have one, it’s been a great device but the battery drains faster than I’d like when WiFi is enabled. I mostly use it for reading in bed and its been perfect for that.

Blaze OP ,

Interesting, how many hours does a full charge last?
