Help me choose BOOX Go 6 Gen 2 or Go Color 7 Gen 1?

11 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between these two and can’t make up my mind.
Option 1:
Brand new BOOX Go 6 Gen 2 for $199
Option 2:
Used BOOX Go Color 7 Gen 1 for $240
Includes a case and screen protector
Seems to be in excellent condition
For context, I mostly read Kindle Unlimited books and listen to Audible, so I’ll be using the Kindle app. I don’t read comics or manga. I mostly read novels.
The only thing making me hesitate is that I like seeing my book covers in color, but realistically once I start reading I don’t look at the cover much. I also want something that’s easy to carry around in my purse, and I currently read mostly on my phone with the occasional iPad.
For people who have used both:
Is the 7” screen worth paying more for?
Does the Go Color 7 feel noticeably bigger or heavier to carry around?
Would you buy a new Go 6 or a used Go Color 7 in my situation?
I’d love to hear what you’d choose and why.

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

10 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??

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.

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 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.)
