Boox Page > Boox Color Go 7

Long story short this is the best eReader you can get right now in my opinion and if you're sorely missing the Kindle Oasis this is the way to go. I was severely disappointed in the Boox Color Go 7 and returned it for this.
Short story long, I am a decade-plus Kindle user. My favorite reader, the Kindle Voyage, was reaching its end and I wanted to step up. I then got a Kindle Scribe for work notes and I do love it as a ereader but found it too large and heavy for casual everyday reading. Since I hate screen tap page turns and prefer more tactile buttons, I was disappointed to see that the Kindle Oasis had been discontinued and was impossible to find.
This lead me to Boox, and I actually got the Color Go 7 first because it's newer, similar in price, has a color screen, and what is being pushed right now. Unless having a color screen is the number 1 thing you want, the Color Go 7 is a disappointing device. I primarily read print books and thought the color would be a nice "to have" but to accomodate for a color screen they have to use some technology that presents a much much darker screen than I'm used to with eReaders. It was like reading e-ink against a calculator grey screen. Even with the light turned up it just looked grainy and disappointing and I returned within 30 minutes.
The Boox Page is everything that the Color Go 7 is without the color screen. This has the bright off white screen and crisp e-ink text you're used to if you've been using a reader for the last decade.
-Out of the box there are crazy ghosting issues, but 99% of this is remedied by changing the refresh setting to every page turn. Anyone complaining about the issues only needs to do this.
-Being android it's a bit more of a learning curve than a Kindle, but nothing an hour of using and playing around with won't remedy.
-It's android so you have access to more book. The kindle store makes it feel just like a kindle but now I can use Hoopla and Libby through my library
- The battery isn't as good as a new Kindle, but it's better than I expected. I read about an hour a day on it and always leave it set to stay on and I got just over two weeks before needing to recharge.
- Holding the device horizontally with my thumb on the turn button (as displayed in the attached image) is the most comfortable way I've ever read.
There more, but this is long. Here's my overal TL;DR:
+If the only thing you want is a color reader that you'll use for comics and maybe occasionally read a book on - get the Boox Color Go 7
+If you mainly just read books and are considering a Color Go 7 because it would be nice to read comics every now and then, then get the Boox Page. The color technology just isn't there for both. It's barely there for color e-ink.

My favorite ereader ever, it looks and works amazing. I recommend to people who read off of multiple platforms you can read all of it from one device.

Love this! I had actually started with a Boox Poke 5, but that thing was a) too small and b) too underpowered. Took forever just to boot up and open a book reading app. The Page solves both of those - bigger but not unwieldy, and snappy enough to get me into whatever book app I need without feeling jealous of my wife's Kindle.

So far I am really liking this E-Reader. I wanted to access ebooks that I had from Nook and Kindle. I also wanted an E-ink display since it's easier on the eyes than a normal tablet screen. I was thrilled to find an Android device that had such a display and after a little tweaking of the settings this has been great.

It reminds me of my Kindle oasis, which I loved so much. So light so easy to use and the page turning buttons are absolutely fantastic.

This is my daily ebook reader. It takes a bit to set up for personal preferences but once done, it is soooo much better than a Kindle Paperwhite.

Was tired of reading ebooks on my phone but hadn’t bought an ereader since the original Nook. I didn’t want to be strapped to an ecosystem like Amazon/Kindle or even Kobo so I took a chance with this one.
It’s been a game changer - I love this thing. It feels nice to hold, I like the turn page buttons, the customization options and the ease of putting ebooks I get anywhere on it. It’s so much better to read in bed (no more eye strain or headaches!). I can put basically any app I want to on it as well - but it’s seriously an ereader…not a tablet or iPad. I don’t feel like I’m missing much with it being black/white but next time I might just get a color version.

Had some small disappointments setting it up, because I wasn't used to e-ink, but after a few days, I love it! Best new addition to my life in a while. Reading newspapers on e-ink really is better than on any other kind of screen.

This has been one of my most used products and most versatile due to not being restricted to one way of getting books id definitely recommend this product from the kindle store you can use on it and the library card way of getting books.

It's a bit glitchy! It's heavier than expected. The books in your kindle or book library aren't very visible. Could be better for an android.

Do you feel limited by what your Kindle can do? Do you want physical page turn buttons and usb-c charging? Are you tech-savvy? Can you put up with a bit of jank?
If you answered "yes" to all of the above, the Boox Page just might be for you. Prepare to spend your first week or two honing in on the right settings for the apps you want to use and learning how to interact with the OS through swipe gestures and buttons, but once you get it personalized, it's pretty fantastic! I use mine for Kindle books and manga, and it's exactly what I wanted.
One caveat: my screen broke 2 weeks in, even when using a protective case and treating it very carefully, so beware of quality control issues.

You can borrow library books, get Nook books, Kindle books etc. You have lots of options. Also being able to turn pages with buttons rather than just the touch screen is a nice feature.

What an awesome e-reader!
It has been a long time waiting to buy an e-reader that coud have all major e-book sellers in one device. My wait was worth it.
It is awesome to be able to navigate through my collection of books from Amazon, Google and Barnes and Noble and have my epubs and pdfs loaded to the reader. I highly recommend it if you need that!
It is a little pricey for the screen size (I really wish it was cheaper) but at least now I have an excellent device.
