    Agreed, the battery life is way worse. I find the features of full unlocked Android to be a worthwhile trade.

    But my point is that the prices of various eInk Android tablets aren’t unreasonable anymore.

    Edit: Although, for anyone worried - I literally don’t remember the last time I charged my Boox. It was sometime last month - and I read with it most days.

    The battery life can be fine, when configured with conservative screen refresh settings.

    But I think there is still a difference - when I binge-read something for many hours multiple days in a row, I’ll notice that I need to recharge my Boox sooner than my Kindle needed.

      Oh yeah definitely. It’s a slow EInk Android tablet on a very old version of Android. If you need more than just an EReader it’s the only reputable brand.
