Onyx Boox Note Pro and Kindle e-books
Hello,
I intend to buy a 10" e-book reader and the Onyx Boox Note Pro is my favourite choice but I miss some information to take my decision. I have a large library of Kindle e-books. Is the Boox Note Pro natively reading the Kindle e-books format (azw)? If not, a solution could be to download the Kindle application from Google Play but I read some info here that Android e-Readers can no longer access Google Play. But I also read a more recent info here on how to activate Google Play on Onyx Boox e-readers. So I am confused. Above all that, Onyx Boox is apparently going to upgrade soon from Android 6 to Android 9 (see here) and I don't know if this will have repercussions on the access / non-access to Google Play. So, in short, can I read Kindle e-books with the Boox Note Pro natively? If not, can I access Google Play to download the Kindle application? if the answer to the 2 above questions is no, is there an alternative? Many thanks in advance for your reply. gece |

To answer the first part of your question, Kindle app (the regular one, not Kindle Lite) works fine on my Boox Note Lite. I have stopped converting formats. Google Play failed a few times saying "device not Play certified" or something similar, but it worked eventually after a few tries.

Alreader and fbreader read azw3. You can install both.
Converting to epub in Calibre is super easy. Removing drm is the most tricky bit. |

I use the Kindle app everyday on my Note Pro. Books and a nytimes sub. Works very well. No issues. You can even make it work smoother by following the optimization settings and adjusting some things. Replaced my Oasis as soon as I got this Pro.
