This is my very first ereader as I like to see the colors on the comic books I read. I cannot compare it with others yet but I am very happy with this so far as I can use my own Google Drive for all the ebooks I have, as well as use other downloadable reading apps :)
@GormKjeldsenАй бұрын
I'm considering this for comics as well. Would you answer a few questions? First: Is it big enough for comics, and second: does the function where you can double-tap a speech-bubble to have it enlarged, work on regular/north american comics as well? I wonder if it is something built-in to the format, or if it works for all formats, like pdfs.

This is the first color ereader I could actually afford! Other than being monstruosly expensive, the other Onyx color products were still stuck with Android 11! Feh! ONE WORD OF WARNING: In the setup step, DO NOT tamper with the preset date and time, or you won't be able to download anything! Admittedly, I'd be happy if Onyx put the extra effort to translate in English the Chinese literature and have it ready on their own store on the GC7. THAT would make sense. I can say that my reading apps: Kindle - Kobo - Everand - Voxa - Libby - MLOL - Open Library - Marvel Unlimited - run smooth, so I can FINALLY have everything on ONE affordable device. The physical button pages do not work on most of them, meh!, but it's not a tragedy. Sure it can be improved on the side of ghosting, but for now I am happy with this baby!

So the battery is actually less than half the capacity of the Tab Mini C... I think that makes the Tab Mini C still my preferred travel companion. Battery runtime is important on these devices.

@bellissimo4520Ай бұрын
@@obscuracrimepodcast Well no color e-ink device has really great battery life. Because frontlighting needs to be used a lot, and that is by far the biggest power drain. Then again, it's all relative. I do have a Nova Color 3, and as it's color I also use the frontlight a lot, but it usually holds out for several days of reading before I recharge. So compared to a regular tablet device, it's still much better (for that use-case). It really depends on what you want from it.

I understand that there's 2 variants, a black and a white with difference in whether the screen is flush (black) or sunken (white) just like the Boox Leaf 2. It would be really educative if you could do a comparison between the 2 variants like you did with the Leaf 2

it doesn't. it is of course not at the level of an OLED screen for obvious reasons, but once I started reading comics on GC7 I found myself quite pleased! And since I read a lot of essays as well, having pictures that are no longer in b/w is a good feeling for my eyes. before Kaleido, I had to read comics on tablets, and that was some eyestrain! No more, at last!
