Ereader with SD card slot and USB-C

cosmicvoid · 10-04-2023, 10:59 PM

I'm looking into buying a new ereader since I borked my Onyx Boox Poke 3. I'm looking at the Onyx Book Poke 5 since it's similar in size to the one I had, but also has a microSD card slot and USB-C. I wouldn't mind going up in screen size slightly.

Are there any other ones I should look at that have both an SD card slot and USB-C?

Though not required, a headphone jack would also be cool but I haven't found any outside of a smartphone shaped device (like the Hisense devices).

Aw, fix your Poke3. It's not difficult.

The Poke5 has only the advantage of SD card and a few millimeters less bezel on the bottom. It's only quad core (vs octo on 3) and it's less hackable (currently).
Both can do headphones with a Type C adapter. BT too.

It seems like the Poke 5 in many ways is a downgrade from Poke 3. For whatever reason Onyx Boox has decided to use weaker CPU:s on many of their newer models - Poke 5, Leaf 2.

If you want something slightly bigger the Page seems quite good.

Here's a comparison review of the Page and Poke 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJQ-roU0fKw
