I've seen a lot of reports about Boox devices randomly breaking while sitting unused on tables and then support claims it was user caused damage and won't warranty them. I don't think I would consider buying one of these unless they offer a warranty that covered accidental damage, and then I'd factor that in to the price. There have been a lot of people looking to buy ereaders recently with Amazon's changes, and Boox's quality control and predatory warranty gateways seems to be hindering their customer adoption rate.

The idea of putting a fingerprint sensor on an e-reader makes me laugh. Whatever will I do if someone else reads my copy of Count of Monte Cristo.

Am I missing something, why would we want something smaller than our cell phone to read on? Maybe I'm just missing it. We have so many similar devices like the Kindle and nook. I just don't understand why someone would want a tiny version of something like that. I barely use my Kindle and nook devices.
"I barely use my Kindle". Well, it doesn't seem like you're the type of user for this device

I will probably get lots of grief for it, but...

The Amazon Kindle Scribe last version which both has larger screen and better hardware overall was $250 from Amazon or Woot recently. Why would anyone buy this no-name gadget for comparable price?
Totally different use cases? Have you tried the Scribe?

Some of us don't want a huge device. This also runs Android so it supports apps for books checked out of libraries (Libby, Hoopla, etc). You can still use the Kindle app but you're not locked into Amazon's ecosystem.
Ahhh.... Thanks

I got all of that.

But reading that reddit post makes this purchase very iffy. I will stick to my Kindle Oasis for now even though I can't stand the Amazom Kindle ecosystem
You're now talking about something different. Your original question asked why not go with a device made with a different audience in mind.

Personally I want a Palma 2, but waiting to see how it holds up for reliability.

Quote from JasonY6769 :
It's just preference. I usually decompress at the end of the day by doing a bit of light reading but sometimes I just want to lay down and read until I fall asleep. Sometimes a heavier device makes me feel like it's just weighing down on my hand a little and I want to just doze off gently with a lighter device. I've used a smartphone, an iPad mini, and a Kindle but I just go back to the smallest device I have usually for ease of falling asleep.
Cool, thank you.

This deal is for the United States where a citizen's library records are protected by law...

Quote :
Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia have laws protecting the confidentiality of library records. Two states, Kentucky and Hawaii, have attorney generals' opinions protecting library users' privacy. The language of these provisions vary from state to state. The majority of these laws declare that a library user's records and information are confidential, and not subject to disclosure, unless certain conditions are met, such as a user's consent or the service of a court order. The ALA recommends that each library adopt a policy that acknowledges the state library confidentiality provisions and recognizes the confidentiality of information sought or received from library users, including a user's personally identifiable information. The policy should also recognize the confidentiality of any records or electronic data that disclose the materials consulted, borrowed, or acquired by a library user. Materials subject to privacy and confidentiality restrictions may include online search histories, database search records, ILS records or other circulation records, interlibrary loan records, and all other personally identifiable uses of library materials, facilities, programs or services, such as reference interviews.

Libraries should have in place procedures for working with law enforcement officers when a subpoena or other legal order for records is made. Any disclosure of records to law enforcement or other government agencies should only be done in accordance with library policy and the law. See How to Respond to Law Enforcement Requests for Library Records and User Information: Suggested Guidelines for more detailed information on how to respond to law enforcement requests for user information.
https://www.ala.org/advocacy/privacy/statelaws

Throughout history there have been many regimes that declared certain books illegal. In the United States what you read or check out from a library is protected by law.

Good post. It seems like tablet makers don't have this many problems with "pressure apply to display". So if Boox is denying warranty claims, and just outright denying they have an issue, then I'm not buying this reader. I'm sure there will be plenty of happy Boox users who weren't hit by the manufacturing defects, but I'll just stick with a more reliable or at least responsible company.

I actually have a Go Colour 7 on the way to me now but I am planning on returning it unopened based on a million of these horror stories. I know I should be fine but $250 is a lot of money.

What do you recommend?
