so no support if you have issues and going by the Calibre Companion forum, there have been quite a few issues.
That's long gone

And, yes, you will need to be running calibre to make use of Calibre Companion.
Yes, but only for book transfer

The Kaleido 3 screen displays 4096 colours at 150DPI, the colours are best described as washed out and the screen background is much darker than eInk's B&W modules,
There is something like lighting for that and it makes the screen clearer than anything I've seen on eInk displays.

I can't see any real reason for recommending the BOOX Tab Mini C as an ereader.
Ever since I got it I've only used this one - and I have a lot of devices; no one can compete with that
Quote:
And for the BOOX's $450 US price, you could get an eInk ereader and an decent Android tablet for when colour is a necessity.
Quality comes at a price and the color is just a dot on the i - what really makes the screen stand out from the rest is the Boox GPU used, which even allows for video viewing (may appear in epub 3).
And with a color Android tablet you can admire yourself outside.
