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

Love this e-reader! So easy to use and you can easily download BorrowBox, Libby and Kindle. I would say it’s definitely worth the money as in the uk kindles don’t support libby and this ereader makes it seamless to read the free library books

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a good idea executed in a bad way. The build of the tablet is extremely poor. It is made of cheap plastic. The navigation buttons often get stuck and are difficult to press. Broke down 3 months after purchase. Overall, not worth the money.
