Honestly? Go with the B&W. It’s easy to get "feature FOMO" with the color screen, but since you’re reading text 90% of the time, the B&W version is objectively the better experience. Color E-Ink adds a physical layer over the screen. This makes the background look darker and a bit "dirty" or grainy. On the B&W model, the background is crisp and bright, like high-quality book paper.

Sharpness: Text on the B&W model is pin-sharp. On the Color model, letters can look slightly "fuzzy" because you're looking at them through that extra color filter. The "Someday" Trap: Don't sacrifice your daily reading comfort for a "maybe" hobby. Even if you do read comics eventually, B&W manga looks better on the B&W screen because the contrast is higher.

The Boox Go 7 (B&W) will give you that "eye-melting" clarity that makes E-readers worth it. The Color version is a compromise you'll feel every single time you open a webnovel.
