BOOX Tablet Go Color 7 Gen II E Ink Tablet 4G 64G Support Active Stylus InkSense (Black)

I’m very happy with this purchase. It has a simple design, but offers lots of useful features — including the ability to download apps through the Play Store. As someone who loves reading not only on Kindle but also through other apps, this has been extremely convenient. I also really appreciate that the books display colourful covers, something Kindle doesn’t offer. Overall, a great device for readers who want more flexibility.

Having previously tried the Onyx Boox Note 5C, I found it to be an excellent device, but ultimately too large for my needs. I then went the other way and purchased the Onyx Boox Palma 2 Pro Colour. While that’s also a great device—and one I still own—it’s a little too small for comfortable reading and note-taking. I had initially avoided the Onyx Boox Go 7 Gen 2 Colour due to some mixed reviews, but I’m glad I eventually gave it a try. The 7-inch form factor feels just right, especially for using the Kindle app and for taking notes with the Boox InkSense Stylus (sold separately). Yes, there is some minor ghosting, and the colours aren’t quite as vibrant as on the other devices I’ve used, but in everyday use it performs perfectly well. The display also offers a wide range of settings for adjusting colour, contrast, and vibrancy, so you can tune it to your preference. Note-taking is also more than acceptable for a device of this size. While I’ll probably upgrade when Boox release the next version, for now this device strikes exactly the right balance between portability, usability, and functionality.

The colour screen is very bland, colours are extremely muted in comparison to screenshots. Black and white content is very low contrast, almost unreadable in some cases. The operating system is very poorly translated, very difficult to understand what some of the settings are meant to do.

Second update: missed the aesthetics so thought I'd try one more time. Dead pixel in centre of screen straight out the box. Never buying Boox again. UPDATE: it kept freezing and glitching and restarting. Ended up sending back for a refund. Once you get the settings sorted, it is a good device. Quick software, nice to hold, not too heavy and comfortable form factor, and feels more premium than the previous gen. Battery so far has lasted me over 2 weeks with at least an hour reading per day (wifi and bluetooth off, mid brightness) and am currently at 62%. Screen could be much brighter and sharper but that's Kaleido3 screens for you! I have all reading apps but mostly load my books to use the native Neoreader programme. Shame not waterproof especially given the price. Note - this is an ereader, NOT a tablet replacement.

Use it everyday, love it

As someone that owns a kindle paperwhite, I wanted to grab an e-reader with colour. After watching many reviews online I decided on this one. I received it and returned it the next day. I’m fully aware that the screen isn’t going to be as crisp due to the kalidoscope 3 filter but it was so grainy and slow and there was a lot of ghosting on the screen. I have since decided to grab the colorsoft and I’m very happy with it, it isnt grainy and it’s just as fast as my paperwhite and the colour is also a lot better and little to no ghosting. After watching many reviews none of which mention how grainy it looks I thought I’d leave a comment.

I love it and use it everyday. It has some ghosting issues but I still can give it 5 stars

Really excellent e reader and the notepad facility us really useful. Oens available on Amazon. Use it tk read newsoaoers via apps to. Recommended - only problem is I now want the A4 pad !
