For PocketBook, see this reply someone already posted.
For BOOX, and I'm drawing this from videos I've seen as I don't have one yet:
registration required Registration is entirely optional AFAIK, and you can use most features that don't depend on Google Play Services (it runs an Android-based firmware)
no file manager for easily organizing books There's a "Storage" tab right on the home screen that seemingly works like a file manager!
can't change default fonts or add new ones Kindle has that in a newer firmware release, I believe 5.11+, as I was able to do it on my K7 Paperwhite. I think fonts can be sideloaded on Boox.
no epub support Boox has that, but I don't know how good their rendering engine is. As it supports most Android phone apps (or tablet apps in the case of the larger models), you could use other reading apps like Libera Reader.
disabling syncing doesn't seem to work properly No built-in syncing, it's just in the phone apps for other e-book platforms AFAIK. |
I would not go with the Boox Poke 2 as the Boox Poke 3 is coming out. The Poke 2 runs Android 9 and the Poke 3 will run Android 10 and have a better processor.
