- BOOX It can also be used without logging in
- BOOX is more flexible
For my using, the main negatives are PB: Errors in the overall reactivity of the device, dictionaries are very average, only completely basic settings for Font and page settings.
HW equipped with CPU and podone are very backward used today already in PB books released 8 years ago.Limited kernel and SDK.
PS: Dark mode, options for setting buttons and a good coating of the mentioned items are supported by almost every electronic book today.
In addition, the CPU installed is still prehistorically B288, which is already 10 years old and which PB installs even in all the cheapest modelsSo I can't see anything great on the Lite version, which has a screen with a low resolution (at least for me).
Apropos the mentioned BOOX Page has better contrast and sharpness compared to ERA. Personally, I would never go back to ERA from BOOX Page (I had both models for a while ).
But of course stick to your preferences.  |
The main issue for me with Boox are 3 things:
1. You can't open DRM protected ebooks without using third party apps.
2. YOu don't have a "one place for all books" library. If you use third party apps, the books are listed in the respective app
3. You need to configure the behaviour of the screen and the button in nearly every app. And it's a pain to do that. It shows clearly that Android is not build fr ebooks and Boox is not so "friendly" to pre-configure it.
In with all 3 point, Pocketbook is way better. For me you get a better convenience reading books. Even if you use KOReader, POcketbook behaves as it is the build in app.
