Big fan of my boox for reading comics and manga
Comment on What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market?

boox makes good e-ink stuff, from what I’ve heard.
I personally have an actual tablet that I use for reading, the oukitel titan rt7. Don’t remember what I paid for it, but I think it was about 300usd. its a bit heavy, but I only have to charge it like one or twice a month, and has a big enough screen that I dont have any issues reading stuff on it.

I have the boox palma 2, if you (OP) want a very portable device I’d definitely recommend! The fingerprint reader is pretty bad though, ha. But worth it to have something phone sized and easy to pocket.

Thanks. I’ll take a look at this one. The other person said Kobo so you might need to fight them to find me a winner 😉

As I understand it, Onyx Boox/Palma devices are great, but Onyx is a flagrant violator of GPL FWIW. For a full size reader I always recommend/second the Kobo Libra Colour and for a Palma replacement, the Bigme Hibreak is fantastic and also comes in color for a great price.

I absolutely love my go color 7. Wish I could get the second version of it for stylus support, but it’s absolutely fantastic. Reading through One Piece manga at the moment in color and it’s awesome.
Battery life for an actual android device is incredible. I’ll buy another one the next time I am in the market for one.

in this things defense, of its ~1.2kg weight, 90% of it is battery. its got… iirc, a 3600mAh battery. stupid big.
it also doesn’t have a very bright screen, or a good antiglare coating so you won’t be able to read stuff outdoors, period.

I mean, this is outdoors in full Colorado sun. It’s pretty readable. Yeah if I point it directly at the sun it’s hard to read, but so is my phone. There’s way more angles where this is not an issue than where it is. Image

Colorado gang, letsgoooo
my tablet (oukitel rt7 titan) is absolutely crap at sun performance, lol. I can only read indoors, sadly.

Also it weighs 6.9 ounces, not 1.2kg lol. Click into the picture to see it more clearly also.
