I didn't charge my Boox Poke Pro more often either - I just barely use it.
It's important to me that I get through until I can connect to a power source.

The difference is an eReader doesn't have a lot of crap I don't want. And I don't like the Android reading apps, I like what's built-in to a dedicated eReader. And I don't like Google.
|
No dedicated reader can manage my library of 17,000 books - only Calibre Companion can do that and requires Google Play for purchase verification.
No dedicated reader allows me to have all the functions I want available with one touch in the reading application - for this I need the option of being able to use the app I want.

I already have a cheap "China tablet." I don't use it. I don't need color for eBooks. (I understand that others do need color).
|
I only use it when I want color information.
Now I'm waiting for reports from the Boox Tab Ultra C.

I understand that a lot people like tablets. I'm not one of them. To me a laptop (when I'm away from home) is the better solution. I like carrying one device for computing and one for reading.

I have everything in one bag (900g)

I would rather have the eReader for reading and the laptop for mobile computing. I like Linux (instead of Android) and most of the applications I use are not available on a tablet.
|
I need a Windows workstation because unfortunately some software is not available for Linux.
But what I need for on the go is available under Android.
OK.
