Excellent device for reading
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very nice e-reader. The screen is very responsive and the clarity is excellent. Because it is an Android based device, the learning curve is greater than something like a Kobo, Kindle, Book or Pocketbook e-reader. But, after some initial tinkering it works perfectly as a pure reading device, although you can install almost any app from the Google Play Store. Expandable storage is a plus. I do wish the battery life was a bit better. Best to keep it on airplane mode, as WiFi and Bluetooth will drain the battery quickly. When not online, the device could last several weeks on a charge depending on how often you read, as well as how bright the front light setting is. Oh, about that front light... Don't expect an amber "warm" light. You do get the option for warmth, in addition to the standard blue/white, but the warm option isn't amber. It's more of a mild pea soup green, which is true of most Boox devices of late. Still, not unpleasant and good for night reading if the colder light bothers you at all.

Ereaders are all about tradeoffs, and I these
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're expecting a general purpose Android tablet, you're going to be disappointed. This is an ereader. It's all about static content. The screen is slow and at times, loading can be a little slow. But Android adds a lot compared to other devices. It means you can source content from multiple places, including those with DRM, or news-type content that's time sensitive, directly on your device. You do need mild hoop jumping for the play store, but boox's modifications to Android to handle the low refresh rate are better than any others I've experienced. I also had to turn off 5GHz wifi on my router for connection stability.

A mini e-ink android tablet - for better or worse
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Boox Poke5 is the perfect e-reader size. Even with the case on, it remains pocketable and light. The flexibility of android allows you to use any reading app you prefer, though the experience isn't as seamless as something like a Kindle. There is some level of setup and tweaking necessary to get the best experience, but it is totally worth doing for the freedom of choice it allows.

Easier on the eyes than my phone
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this book it's the right size and it allows me to listen to audiobooks on the Libby app from the library. No more worrying about my cell phone battery dying. And the screen is so easy on the eyes.

Good overall
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than expected. Small, light, powerful. Clear fonts. Some apps are not good enough. The lights at the bottom do not give an even feel but good enough to use.

Exactly what you pay for
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good little ereader. A little wider than a phone and lots of storage. Black and white only and not super intuitive settings but honestly I love it.

This thing is Gold.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is absolutely worth it in comparison to every other ereader. Just look up how to change the settings to get all the apps and its gold. I use it for school and just regular reading.
