Boox

E-readers come in many shapes and forms, but nothing quite as cute as the Boox Go 6 – which is undoubtedly my new favorite e-book device.

Boox today announced a new generation of its phone-sized e-reader with the Palma 2.

Following the impressive Go Color 7, Onyx has launched the Boox Go 6 Android-powered e-reader at an enticing entry price point.

Android tablets and e-readers come in many shapes and sizes, but very few combine the best of both worlds. The Boox Go Color 7 is one of the few to do this, and it does it very well.

Boox, a go-to manufacturer for Android-based e-readers, has released two new lightweight options in its “Go” category. The Boox Go 10.3 is a black/white reader that prioritizes travel-friendly features, while the Go Color 7 is a smaller color option with physical page-turning buttons.

Part of the point of using an e-ink reader is to disconnect from the constant noise of our digital lives. So why would you want your reader to run Android? That’s a question the Onyx Boox Poke 5 answers masterfully and affordably.

The E Ink market would likely have you believe that the technology is rather limited to black-and-white displays, which are well-suited for reading digital material. However, the Boox Tab Ultra C and Boox Tab Mini C make a big case for colored E Ink, which I didn’t know I’d like so much.

Onyx’s latest device is a 6-inch e-reader that runs a slimmed-up version of Android. It may look like a phone with an e-paper display, but it isn’t quite there.

E Ink has been around for years, but has mostly been delegated to cheap and simple devices used for reading and nothing more, most famously Amazon’s Kindle devices. As time has gone on, though, the technology has advanced tremendously, and now there are full Android tablets with E Ink displays, and there might be no more impressive option than the Boox Tab Ultra.
