EReader with Google play: Dasung vs Onyx vs Boyue

frostieff · 09-14-2022, 01:58 AM

Since i work looking at a computer screen all day i was wondering if purchasing a Dasung- Not-eReader 103 is worth it?

I plan on using the ereader for:

-surfing the web

-using Google Play apps like reddit especially

-watching Youtube videos

4)downloading and viewing PDF

I was planning on getting a Dasung- Not-eReader 103 but its pricey and was wondering if there was something cheaper and better at running Google Play and surfing the web?

Thank you for your time!!

I dunno, but for surfing the web and watching YouTube, I'd never turn to a black-and-white e-reader. Especially at that price of many hundreds of dollars!

My solution is to use regular tablets for those two activities, which can be a lot cheaper, but still of solid quality.

At the same time, I admit I'm happy my newest Onyx e-reader runs on Android, so that I can perform "tablet-like" activities on it, if need be. But I really only consider it an emergency option.

For around $500, I'd consider the newly released 10-inch Onyx Boox Air2 Plus. (Not just Air2 – Air2 Plus, which has a larger battery.) But it really seems like a stretch.

(I have the cheapest, 6-inch $150 Onyx e-reader, and I'm perfectly satisfied with it, but I'd never turn to it for specifically performing the activities you listed.)

My Nova 3 works well for surfing the web and reading articles. Reddit works fine. I use EinkBro, which is a browser designed for use with e-ink devices.

If you need to look at images while browsing the experience will obviously be subpar.

I would also forget about watching Youtube videos. It works in a pinch, but I wouldn't want to do that unless I have to.
