What the article fails to mention is that this device only has 2GB RAM. Anyone who’s used an Android device with low RAM would know how much of an unpleasant experience it is.
I have the Boox Nova Color, and even though it has a gig more RAM than the Poke, it frequently runs out of RAM when I’m reading manga (on Tachiyomi). Even when I’m not reading manga, the overall experience is pretty sluggish.
It’s a shame though, because Android e-ink readers are rare and Boox is basically the only viable option out there, but they all have pretty low specs which makes it hard for me to recommend them.
