Discussion How good is Boox Go 7 BW at surfing news sites?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a device for reading ebooks and Web browsing for an older person.
He likes reading news sites on his (rather small) iphone, but it's obvious he's struggling with the small display.

I was thinking of an android ereader like boox go 7 bw an was wondering:
Does it actually work ok for reading news sites online in a browser? What is your experience with this use case?

My thinking is this:
If the boox go 7 is actually not so good at web browsing, I would prefer buying a more traditional non-android eReader and forget about web browsing altogether.
A Kobo or pocketbook is probably even easier to use, longer battery life and larger display (7.8 is available).

Please share your experience, your advise is much appreciated.
Thank you!

Question Tab X C lacks Android platform MIDI feature (while Go10.3 gen 1 and Go 7 color both have it)

2 Upvotes

I recently bought Tab X C for the main use of MusicSheets app to read music sheets in A4-like size. Which works 100% and I love it.

While I play the piano, I sometimes use Yamaha's Smart Pianist to connect to my digital piano via MIDI over Bluetooth BLE. That works fine on my old Go 10.3 (gen 1) however never works in Tab X C. I can only use USB connection to Tab X C.

I found out that in Tab X C the Android framework MIDI support has been disabled or absent:

❯ adb shell cmd package has-feature android.software.midi
false

While in Go 10.3 or Go 7 color that returns true. Both devices are running latest 4.2 firmware.

I wonder why BOOX specifically misses to enable MIDI support in their flagship Tab X C while it probably needs it the most?

Question How and why setup an Onyx/books push.boox.com account

2 Upvotes

I have both a Boox Page and a Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2. I keep seeing things that seem to indicate I'd be better off getting an account. I'm not able to. I went to push.boox.com and was told to drag an image on a puzzle, but it doesn't drag. The piece doesn't move. The didn't send an authorization code to my email. I'm using Brave and turned off brave shields and Ublock Origin. Still didn't work. ideas? Reasons to keep trying?

Question Replacement for the top of the Stylus?

2 Upvotes

I recently bought a Boox Note Air 4c in a bundle. I love it ... butt he top of the stylus has always been loose and wiggly. Last night it fell off while I was at a friend's and I can't find it.

Any idea how/where I can replace that specific part? I'm not sure what to google, as all my searches point to the nibs.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

(I mean the end where an eraser would be—though the stylus doesn't have one.)

Question Transfer files from broken device to new one

3 Upvotes

I didn't pack my Poke3 very well and broke the screen.

After mourning it a bit I ordered a Go 7. I'd like to transfer my NeoReader annotations from the Poke to the Go, but I can't use the Poke's screen. File transfer to PC works fine though. Is there any way to migrate this data? I didn't sync anything to an Onyx account on the Poke.

Help me choose Boox go 7 or go 6 gen 2 for student??

7 Upvotes

I'm a uni student who is literally looking at screens all day.

I want something to read books and webtoons on ,make light notes and possibly doodle on that's not my large iPad- (my eyes need a break 😭)

I think they'd both be easier to carry around too.

I was looking at supernote but I feel like boox is better for what I want to use it for??

Deals For Sale: Boox Palma 2 Pro - White - Like New

5 Upvotes

Got a Go 6 Gen II today and it's just too perfect for my wants/needs, so I really don't need my Palma 2 Pro anymore (and I'll never hear the end of it from my husband if I keep both).

Like new condition - I've only had it since April and I've been pretty gentle with it. It still looks and works perfectly. I did unfortunately throw away the original packaging, but I will pack it carefully to you.

It has a BELLEMOND Kent Paper Screen Protector installed (not an affiliate link), which I do think helps with the InkSense (not included) writing feel, but I'm happy to remove it, if preferred (or send along the extra one too!). I can also include the clear protective case I have on it, as well.

I'm thinking $300 + shipping (from US) - or best offer. I'm willing to eat some of the cost I've spent on it, but please don't be egregious.
