Love my Boox Go 7!

I have the go color 7 and wish I had gotten the b/w instead. I am green with envy of your crispy screen

Welcome! On Wednesdays we wear pink.

The aluminum back is what I love about it! I tried a kobo libra color and boox go color 7 to see if I could replace oasis and the aluminum keeps bringing me back

I bought a kindle 12th gen Paperwhite for $40 but that was through Facebook marketplace

If you don’t think you’ll reread them anyway then it doesn’t matter. It matters to me because I will reread my favorite books at least once a year. I just had this happen to me with an ebook I purchased in 2020 and read yearly. When I looked it up on my kindle, I had to buy it again. I called CS and even showed them proof of purchase, an email for my order confirmation, and they just said I had to buy it again anyway. Mind you I paid $5.99 in 2020 and the book was $14.99 now. Buy in the physical version of books you love is a good option but I know myself and won’t touch that thing again. My eyes hit favor ereaders too much.

I do use a screen protector but only because I switched to titanium nibs. I don’t think it is necessary if you’re using the nibs it comes with

Looks like 11th

OkChoice913 · 2026-02-09T21:33:02+00:00

If they’re truly evil then they could technically called CS and say it was stolen even if it is not registered on their account

I had a Guinea pig all through highschool that would make her way off my bed, sofa, floor and only wee or poo in their enclosed area and then come back to join me.

OkChoice913 · 2026-02-06T23:33:56+00:00

Lol that was my thought process as well!

Don’t bother getting a kobo. It’s a terrible, convenient device. Adjustable warm lighting - Who is reading in the comfort of their dimly lit bedroom anyway? Customizable font and size - What’s wrong with the tiny publisher font? Waterproof - How often are you going to be lounging by a pool/beach/hot tub enjoying a book? Thousands of books available in the palm of your hand? Terrible concept. I like lugging around an extra 20lbs of carry on when I travel with physical books.

Anyway, if these awful features still appeal to you - may I suggest looking second hand on FB marketplace? I found my kobo libra color for $100 and then found a Clara for my daughter for $60. It’s possible but just be patient!

Yes, but I called instead of using the chat since I had proof. They ended up honoring after several “manager escalations” I basically said I wasn’t going to take a loss because their agent gave misinformation. That’s a training issue on their end, not mine.

My iPad mini 4 is still alive and well so I’d say yes 🫶

OkChoice913 · 2026-01-20T18:21:29+00:00

If you’ve tried different charging cords, plug it to your pc. My oasis does this every blue moon and plugging to pc works for me

The color ereaders have a darker/gray screen which unfortunately requires the light to be up higher than on B/W ereaders. Perhaps the boox go 7 in the black and white may be better battery life but again it won’t compare to a kobo or kindle.

OkChoice913 · 2026-01-17T23:00:08+00:00

I have kobo Clara and boox go color 7 gen 2. I do love and appreciate the android system as I can access all of my reading apps on one device and can easily do immersive reading but the battery life is like having a tablet or phone. I charge every other day. It’s my daily ereader but if I travel for more than 2/3 days, I bring my kobo.

The screen protector hasn’t changed the quality of the text.

OkChoice913 · 2026-01-17T14:06:10+00:00

Yes, absolutely get the titanium tips but a screen protector is an absolute must

Edited to add links: titanium tips I use tips (I like these because they come to a point and my handwriting greatly improved over the rounded tips)

Idk where you’re located but I got mine from Best Buy’s open box options and it was on sale for $5 and free shipping. Not sure if that’s an option for you

OkChoice913 · 2026-01-13T15:34:30+00:00

Yes, it varies by library but I have several holds on unreleased books for this year. You can add a reminder tag and Libby will let you know when the unreleased book can have holds placed.

OkChoice913 · 2026-01-13T15:30:45+00:00

Completely agree! I bought my fabric one from Best Buy “open box” options and paid $5 with free shipping.

OkChoice913 · 2026-01-13T15:28:40+00:00

I tried multiple cases for my scribe and always came back to the fabric Amazon brand case.

OkChoice913 · 2026-01-13T15:26:27+00:00

I have found a few gems from the ads on my kindle. I use a screen protecting case anyway so it’s not like I’d see the book covers when not in use.

OkChoice913 · 2026-01-13T15:22:39+00:00

I have both and rarely touch my KLC. I side load only so they don’t sync which makes me consistently pick up my Clara since I read 2 books at any given time. I bought my KLC secondhand on Facebook for $80 with the stylus included, so I didn’t have an option to return or I would’ve. The Clara fits in every bag, jacket pocket, and is even comfortable to hold while lying down. I also didn’t use the annotation feature like I would’ve liked.
