I like the 1st Poke but was disappointed that the warm and cool lights cannot be mixed. It's one or the other. The ads for this feature are a little misleading. I like that the 1st Poke is very light, even with the case. It is thicker than the Poke2 and it doesn't have a flush screen. The 1st Poke runs Android 4.4, I think. Speed of the 1st Poke was OK and the screen lighting is OK. Poke2 is better.

I managed to mix the colors of the Onyx Boox Poke (not pro) using Plotn's version of CoolReader. It has a brightness and colour temperature slider at the edges. When you close this reading program the color temperature setting is maintained and can be used in other programs, although the settings cannot be changed. It is an imperfect solution, but it allows to improve the performance of the device.
I use the Poke (not Pro) exclusively to read with AlReaderX, the new version of the AlReader program that is still under development but already works very well, and with CoolReader (plotn), whose latest version incorporates KOReader's epub.css. Both reading programs are adapted to Onyx Boox devices and work perfectly with android 4.4.
However, the Onyx Boox Poke 2 looks great. The only drawback I see is its high price.
