Onyx lately launched a brand new Android-powered ereader with a 7″ shade E Ink display screen referred to as the Boox Go Coloration 7.
It’s one other Kindle Oasis clone that provides shade to the combo, nevertheless it’s much more superior than a Kindle, and because it runs Android you possibly can set up the Kindle app on it to get a shade Kindle of types.
Like I all the time say with Android ereaders, Android apps aren’t designed to run on E Ink screens so the expertise of utilizing apps isn’t as easy and optimized as utilizing an precise devoted ereader like a Kindle, however the Kindle app works properly sufficient to be usable.
Beneath is a video exhibiting the Kindle app in motion on the Boox Go Coloration 7 so you possibly can see for your self if the compromises are price it or not.
To get the web page buttons to work, it’s important to setup the Kindle app to make use of quantity buttons to show pages from the Aa menu below Extra. Then below the optimize settings for the app it’s important to set the web page buttons to Quantity (long-press the app icon or swipe up from the underside left nook with the app open).
There are a bunch of various settings to configure utilizing Onyx’s Optimize characteristic to assist get the app to run smoother. I discover the Regal refresh setting works greatest to attenuate ghosting, nevertheless it causes extra display screen flashing. Sadly the daring possibility not appears to work; I used to make use of that on my outdated Boox Be aware and it labored nice, nevertheless it doesn’t do something on the Go Coloration.
The brand new Assistive Reader characteristic works with the Kindle app as properly on the Boox. It makes use of text-to-speech to learn the e-book aloud, and you can too set it to spotlight the phrases because it reads aloud.
General the app works fairly properly on the Boox Go Coloration 7, and the colour display screen is sweet for comics and covers, however the studying expertise and normal navigation remains to be higher on an precise Kindle. How lengthy is it going to take Amazon to launch a shade Kindle?
