I’ve been getting back into reading and while nothing will beat a physical book, having a device with multiple EPUBS seems like a good way to save space and money. After a bit of searching, I’m down to two options: Kobo (specifically the Libra Colour) and Boox (specifically the Go Color 7). I’ve discarded tablets because they’re just a larger phone and thus blue light-induced eye strain. I’ve also discarded the Kindle because of Amazon’s business practices. I known that Kindles can jailbroken (which I wouldn’t mind doing) and I could buy one second-hand on eBay but I prefer to give my money towards a better competitor.
Which one do you think is better? Have you used their previous e-readers? How do they compare?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks, that is the term I was looking for, but I did find the Boox did it more than previous devices and I’d frequently have to force the refresh.
I’m not familiar with boox’s software (I’m still on a Nook but thinking of getting either a boox or kobo soon), but there may be a way to tweak how often it does a full refresh in the settings if you dig around a bit.
Yeah, there are different modes and configurations you can set up, and you can do it per app. It’s possible that I’ve just misunderstood some of those options, but I found I ran into the issue both when reading text on default settings and reading comics with modified settings.
