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.

Left my Boox off for a few months. Doesn't turn on anymore. It's a $400 brick now.

Tempting at this price. The 6.13'' E Ink display makes reading easy on the eyes.

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?

I honestly don't know. I use a Kindle paper-white and was looking to upgrade. I'm sticking with what I have for right now till I do more research.

To me, the issue is that without being able to download the books and having a physical file, you don't own the books anymore. It's just a license. It also makes it pretty much impossible to use an amazon ebook with any other reader, unless it has a kindle app, which most are unable to do. It locks people in to Amazon's ecosystem and is very anti-consumer.

If I wanted an e-reader, I would look to Kobo. Although to my surprise B&N Nook [wikipedia.org] is still being made.
Kobo is at the top of my list. Just weighing options to see what I want to end up doing. If they ran a sale, I'd probably grab one pretty quick.

The one "killer app" as it were for Boox was the ability to install apps. Granted I don't know that I'd install many but just having the ability to load in different apps like say the Viz app would be nice.

Either way, $250 was a lot of money that I could spend on other stuff so back it goes. I am leaning toward a Kobo even if it means I may have to do more manual work.

Possible to use this as your daily phone? Any ideas? Always on WiFi, Google voice number? Using mostly online chat? Does it seem feasible or just a hassle? Would love to disconnect from being on the mobile all the time.
Look into the Light Phone.

I can't understand how an overpriced small screen e-reader from a no name brand with poor customer service gets to the frontpage. I hate Amazon as much as the next person but at least the kindles have flawless customer support, and last forever. I'm sticking to my Scribe and Paperwhite
just look who's in the WH.

This was a terrible decision by Amazon. However, it is still pretty easy to download the book to the Kindle first and then get it into Calibre. All my ebooks are safely backed up and can be put on any device I decide on in the future including a Kobo. Not letting Amazon or anyone else control my library.

Who cares. Amazon isn't going to take away your books.

Idk, I love my Boox. It's been like 4 years since I bought my note air. I also bought the color one for my wife and she also loves hers. I leave it alone for months, and I'm not super gentle with it.

I recommend it to everyone. Just get it from a reputable us retailer, and add a warranty if you're scared. It's very good tech.

The problem is that buying from a reputable seller doesn't protect you much. Many of the reported screen issues happen after even Amazon's return window. If a product's quality is so low that 3rd-party insurance is mandatory, that's a bad buy. Onyx has been outright defrauding countless customers across multiple product lines for years now. They shouldn't be rewarded for doing that to people. Chinese companies that follow this model of defrauding the world should not be allowed to operate in the west.

Try a different (slower) charger. I found that mine doesn't charge AT ALL with a quick one

Unless it's shipping direct from China it wouldn't be subject to any "hidden" costs, and even if it is, as of now the "de minimis" 800 minimum limit is in effect again. Supposedly it's going away but they don't have the resources to enforce it as of now. Hopefully they realize what a waste it would be tbh.
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but tariffs apply to all products manufactured in China. So even if you buy directly from a company based in another country, like let's say Germany, as long as the item originated from China, you will pay tariffs. I recently bought an item from Germany. Technically, I should not pay any import duties for products below $800. Since it was made in China, UPS stopped my package and demanded to pay import duties plus brokerage fees. I purchased an item after the introduction of new tariffs. The country of origin is mentioned on a declaration form filled out by a seller. I believe U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) mandates that, in addition to a tariff code and declared value.
