BOOX Introduces a Pair of Affordable 7-inch eReaders

Onyx BOOX is introducing a caller brace of seven-inch eReaders, the BOOX Go 7 and BOOX Go Color 7 Gen II. Priced astatine a respective $250 and $280, these are the archetypal seven-inch BOOX eReaders to enactment stylus input.

The Onyx BOOX Go 7 appears to beryllium a precise competent Android eReader, packing a 300ppi Carta 1300 E Ink screen, the Android 13 operating system, a built-in talker (plus Bluetooth functionality), and an asymmetrical plan with page-turn buttons. It's fundamentally a black-and-white mentation of the first-generation Go Color 7 with stylus enactment and an OS upgrade.

And, comic enough, the Go Color 7 Gen II is conscionable a colorized mentation of the modular Go 7. BOOX added stylus support, Android 13, and redesigned page-turn buttons, but it kept the octa-core processor and Kaleido 3 E Ink surface from past year's Go Color 7 model.

The Go 7 Color Gen II lone costs $280, which is beauteous affordable for a colour eReader. However, I should constituent retired that colour E Ink is somewhat "dim" and low-res owed to the usage of a colour filter.

I don't suggest buying a colour eReader unless you program connected speechmaking successful nonstop light, different you'll request to usage the tablet's frontlight each the time. Of course, this whitethorn beryllium an contented of idiosyncratic preference—I hatred utilizing my eReader's frontlight, but I'm definite that different radical are good with it.

Both of these eReaders are compatible with the BOOX InkSense Stylus. However, the stylus is sold separately. It's besides retired of banal astatine the clip of writing, which is somewhat ironic, fixed the information that stylus enactment is simply a header diagnostic for the caller BOOX eReaders. BOOX hasn't clarified whether third-party styluses volition enactment with the Go 7 oregon Go Color 7 Gen II.

Pre-orders for the BOOX Go 7 are disposable contiguous for $250 astatine the BOOX web store. All purchases of the Go 7 see a escaped folio case, astatine slightest for now. BOOX says that it volition unfastened pre-orders for the $280 Go 7 Color Gen II "soon." Orders are shipped from a U.S. warehouse, meaning that customers shouldn't request to interest astir being charged an import interest by their courier (a interest that Temu and Shien shoppers are facing owed to changing U.S. commercialized policy). That said, BOOX, similar other eReader brands, precocious increased its prices successful effect to tariffs.
