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

Great product with flexibility. Took me a day to get used to the setting. Variety of setting to prevent ghosting and fully customizable for each app. Not the typical tablet, but if you need a small and portable device with beautiful colour eink for reading (not writing) this might be for you.

I purchased the BOOX Tablet Go Color 7 to enhance my e-book experience and use it as a general tablet, appreciating the e-ink technology. However, I'm uncertain if the color feature is truly necessary. Test Conditions: UK, overcast day, natural daylight at 10am. Brightness and Light Settings: In the second picture, I adjusted the BOOX tablet to emulate the Oasis display, setting brightness at approximately 75% and a cooler color temperature. Without the built-in light, the BOOX appears dim—an inherent aspect of its technology, but worth noting for prospective buyers. Comparison with Other Devices: The third picture includes my Kindle Paperwhite, which offers superior readability compared to the BOOX in daylight conditions. The BOOX Tablet Go Color 7 is about the same size as the Kindle Oasis but is thinner. While the battery life may not be as good, the device is more flexible in terms of app usage. If you're comfortable using the screen's light, it can offer a similar experience to the Oasis. Android Experience: The Play Store functions well, allowing me to download apps like the Guardian for newspaper reading. However, the colors appear dull and washed out. While I can distinguish the blue sky, the overall experience feels lackluster. Conclusion: I’m on the fence about keeping it. I appreciate the size and the Android OS, but I’m not sure if I'm satisfied with the screen quality. Considering a second, 10.3-inch black and white Android device for a better newspaper reading experience. I hope these insights and photos help you understand the differences in technologies between these devices.

Having android is great, but color ink screens have still got a ways to go. The screen is quite dark and the brightness doesn't go high enough. I find the rainbow effect from the color pixels rather distracting. The form factor and build quality is perfect and I really want to love the device, but it's going to get returned unfortunately.

Black smudge/faulty pixels, straight out of the box. Really disappointed. Returning ASAP for a refund. It seems there is no colour e-ink device that actually works flawlessly.

This is a nice device to use - solidly built, page turn buttons, light, good size. Sadly, after trying a few devices with kaleido screens now, I've come to the conclusion that they are just not very good. The screens are dark, contrast is poor, ghosting is worse. Stick with B&W unless you really need color.

I ordered the BOOX Tablet Go Color 7 ePaper E Ink Tablet (Black) brand new, but unfortunately, it arrived with a pinhole light on the screen (dead pixel). For a device costing £250, I find this completely unacceptable. After some research, I discovered that Kaleido e-readers are notorious for this issue, and it seems Onyx’s quality control is subpar. While the device itself is great in terms of functionality, the poor build quality really lets it down. I understand that industry standards permit up to 5 dead pixels as “acceptable,” but try explaining that to someone who’s just spent hundreds of pounds. This isn’t a cheap product, and this level of quality wouldn’t be tolerated for an LCD TV or iPad. I returned the black version and opted for the white one instead. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t have the same issue, but it’s disappointing that I have to worry about this in the first place. For the price, Onyx needs to step up their quality control.

however I don’t think the technology is there yet….. The device is a great size and feels good in one hand, just the right weight too. It has some neat features and I like the fact that it runs android . The biggest issues I found was the ghosting and the brightness of the screen. When browsing content with mixed text and images, whenever I turned a page previous imagery or text could often be seen in a ghost effect. I found this very distracting. This then meant that I was constantly manually refreshing the page to get a crisp clear image or text. I tried changing all the setting's but it didn't seem to help much. I could only read the text comfortably when the screen light was on. Without the light I found the screen way too dark to read compared to my kindle.

I bought this device because of its promising color screen and considered purchasing the Air 3C eventually as well. However, I frequently had to adjust the brightness and refresh settings to avoid ghosting effects. The color screen was disappointing due to its extremely low resolution, making it difficult to read on the small display. The user interface was challenging, requiring different settings adjustments for each application. Additionally, the bookstore offered limited content, featuring only very old classics and free books. You can’t remove the store from the bottom menu, which was frustrating. Ultimately, I returned the device and ordered a basic Kindle, which offers a much better reading experience at a fraction of the cost.

Only one thing is bad. No protection case in the box.

Pros: Android - Almost anything can be done Ergonomic Design Cons: Bit glare on screen Battery not as good as kindle (Android is the reason) Lack of stylus In India price is too high than That of foreign countries.

I LOVE this ereader!! If you like the freedom of accessing your own library of ebooks and files, while still having the option to use apps like Kindle and Libby, this is for you! I had a kindle for several years and I rarely used it because of how limited I felt with just the proprietary software. I reallyyyyyy disliked having to sideload all my epubs onto the kindle app itself in order to access all the ebooks I had outside of kindle. I'm so happy I found this option and gave it a try. It's super light, great size screen, and less laggy. The color ink is adorable and I'm learning how to use cute features like setting your own screensaver. Battery life is also not an issue. The one negative I've had is the image ghosting when turning the page. However, I've been able to minimize this issue pretty efficiently by playing with the refresh settings. Overall, if you want freedom outside of kindle software (and like color e ink) this is a great option!

The sceeen is extremely fragile. Mine broken within 45 days. No guarantee too in India. Never buy it

Here's the deal: color does add some, especially in regal mode, but you need a lot more ambient light or a much higher backlight to take advantage. That said, this is the same price as their previous version of the same form factor without color. The black and white is still super crisp. You will have to manually adjust how apps are displayed, but it's easy to do, and their modifications to Android to make the device shine at static content are significantly better than other e-Ink Android devices I've tried. The device also feels super premium. I love the texture on the back, and I love the page turn rocker to make one handed reading easier. Why get an Android reader over a dedicated ereader like a kindle or kobo? The variety of sources. I have a large kindle collection, and kindles support Libby to borrow books from my library already, but there are numerous web sources for books that I can directly download onto the device. I can use a read later app (I use omnivore) from my phone to easily save articles I stumble upon for reading later. This is also the first Android reader I've seen that ships with the play store out of the box (my last couple boox devices made me take steps to enable it), and the general responsiveness has improved as well. It's much easier to browse the web and type than it was on previous devices.
