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 :)

[@GormKjeldsen]

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.

[@bellissimo4520]

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.

[@obscuracrimepodcast]

And the Tab Mini C doesn’t even have great battery life.

[@bellissimo4520]

@@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.

[@markjohn3009]

please make a comparison video between this and bigme B751c

[@NickBZ]

Thank you for a great review

[@valeriomassimopastorealina3102]

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!

[@Strravigor]

Thanks for this video .I am lost with their models devices . Does it mount on a Mac like an external drive ( tab mini c don’t )? What is you feeling about the comparison with kobo Libra color display quality ( and battery capacity ) ? Merci

[@buttermilkoreo]

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

[@stxxiiz4114]

I’ve heard that this screen is darker than the Tab Mini C’s without the front light on, would you know if this is true? I’m thinking of buying it, but that’s putting me off for now

[@ash6953]

Hay, because it has Google play store does that mean that any app (from the store) can be installed then? Eg news apps and x etc? Thanks

[@carl-johanfalk3968]

I'm looking for a device that I could use for my manuscrips when giving lecures/speeches. Basically building up a libarary of my own documents. Could this one be what I'm looking for? If it has access to Google Play does that mean that you can use apps (like google drive and use words .docs)?

[@jmc32]

Will google maps work on this device? Does the chip support GPS?

[@piratepixels]

Can you read newspaper apps on this?

[@luegolopienso]

I can´t read my own manga on double page on this device, anyone knows why? :(

[@xBlueUnicorn15]

Maybe this is a silly question but do we have an option to turn off colour to black and white for this device? I have boox page and was contemplating to get this..

[@NiSE_Rafter]

I believe you can but I don't own one to confirm.

[@bassyey]

How long do these devices get supported and updated? at least 3 years? I've been reading light novels the past 2 years and finally decided to buy an e-reader but I'm not sure if these devices last long enough.

[@ROULHS]

Where is leaf 3?

[@YouiFriend]

please, anybody knows, if you can hear an MP3 via bluetooth while reading an ebook?

[@NN-hp2rn]

Sure, their android devices are multitasking. Audioplayer with mp3 file will run in the background while reading a book

[@TheFFsage]

If it was B/W, Id buy it in an instant, but sadly not

[@goodereader]

Boox page

[@TheFFsage]

@@goodereader Cant find to buy it from anywhere anymore. Either unavailable, overpriced, or in a place Im not comfortable enough to order from. Just gonna wait for the next Note Air and hope it releases this fall or end of year. Boox Go 10.3 was so close but lacked the frontlight

[@emersonshaw66]

So… can it fit in the pockets of a pair of men’s jeans?

[@michaelgaoghagan3700]

Not unless you have some wide pockets. It is 5.4" in width with a 7" screen.. The Boox Poke 5 is 4.3" in width, but has a 6" screen.

[@emersonshaw66]

@@michaelgaoghagan3700 could you get the poke in a pocket? Ordered a bigme Hibreak but seeing what else there is out there.

[@seanrobsob8883]

Ghosting looks like an issue with this device. Is it as bad as it looks in the video

[@gianlucastraulino1430]

@@seanrobsob8883 yes!

[@valeriomassimopastorealina3102]

It's a problem with all color eink. Color tech is still not evolved enough to avoid ghosting, but at least, with this device, it's tolerable.

[@gartsel]

Go means “go to color”

[@goodereader]

And the "Go 10.3" note"?

[@chiquita683]

Boox trash releases to clear out old inventory is why its called Go. Inventory needed to go

[@thibaldus3]

Bezels are too big. Shame that it makes you lose pocketability.

[@obscuracrimepodcast]

It’s past a 6 inch device. Why do people like yourself want every device to look exactly the same? Anything in this form factor is more of a “throw it in your bag” size.

[@LJImutan]

If you want pocketability they have the Boox Palma exactly for that purpose.

[@thibaldus3]

@@obscuracrimepodcast Frankly, thin enough bezels and you can reach 6,5 even 7 inches and keep it pocketable.

[@thibaldus3]

@@LJImutan Palma isn't bad but still a bit too small. I'd like a middle ground between it and the Onyx.

[@obscuracrimepodcast]

@@thibaldus3 that’s not the goal always though. The Nook Glowlight 3 was legendary for its large and comfortable bezels.

[@Rugalb2k]

Yet another one with the terrible Kaleido 3. It seems there will be no space for traditional black and white, they aren't releasing new ones and they are disappearing from their catalogues. We will have to resort to the used market to get a decent reader at this rate. They are just decided to have us adopt this terrible technology.

[@GilangRamadhan53]

Why is kaleido 3 bad?

[@magnils7211]

Kobo Clara bw?

[@goodereader]

Correct, it is not bad. This is just simply an example of a contrarian. Someone that goes against the grain because something is popular and everyone likes it The reality is is that the grand majority of players including Kobo (one of the big three) have adopted kaleido

[@GilangRamadhan53]

@@goodereader I see. I googled and can't find anything that says it's bad for the industry. It has its pros and cons but nothing that bad🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@goodereader]

It's not bad. At all. It is the most stable color epaper that is on the market today that everyone utilizes. Hyread, dasung, bigme, onyx, meebook, Hisense, Kobo Rakuten, iflytek, iReader, reinkstone, GUOYUE, and many other players

[@user-cp7qw6ox6b]

Kaleido 3 sucks

[@goodereader]

No it doesn't

[@valeriomassimopastorealina3102]

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!
