Kobo announces its first color e-readers
I’ve used the Boox color e-reader. It’s fine. My one complaint is that the white background of the screen is not as white as the background in traditional e-readers. Like I saw somewhere that the Kindle’s white background is somewhere near 85% white, and the Boox color screen is 65ish% white. It was noticable when I used it, to the point that I sent it back and got a non color e-reader.
I ended up getting the Boox Nova Air 2. it is fantastic. https://onyxboox.com/boox_novaair2

I’m guessing because onyx doesn’t have a book store to subsidize the price with like Amazon.
I know nothing about this topic, but was thinking of grabbing a Kobo. What about the software would you say is meh?

I wonder if that will be at all improved with the new model coming out? I do like that Kobo doesn’t have ads on its home screen, as well; I’d probably be willing to put up with less optimal performance if that stays the case. Anyway, thank you for the response! It’s definitely given me stuff to consider before buying an e reader myself

Amazing comment, thank you. Saving it for future use :)
Crappy file management is the biggest flaw, imo
