What reviewers say about the Onyx Boox Go Color 7
Across 3 testing outlets (AppleInsider, Good e-Reader, eWritable), the Boox Go Color 7 lands as a well-liked compact color e-reader/tablet, praised chiefly for its physical page-turn buttons and pocketable, comfortable form factor. Weaker points singled out include a poor built-in speaker, an industrial design/form factor that outlets stop short of praising, and a stylus/writing feel that trails dedicated EMR tablets. Priced roughly $250-$290 depending on source and date, with consistent specs around 195g weight, 2,300mAh battery, and 1680x1264 resolution.

Weight: 195g · Battery capacity: 2,300mAh · Price: $249.99 · Screen resolution: 1680x1264
It's small enough to stash in your purse, messenger bag, or backpack but still big enough to feel like you're reading a book.
The speaker sounds pretty bad, but I also can't imagine a scenario where I would need to use the speaker.
It's not as fast as an iPad or an iPhone, but it isn't trying to be.
Battery capacity: 2,300 mAh · Storage: 64GB internal + up to 1TB via SD card · Price: $279.99–$289.99 · Screen resolution (B/W): 1680 x 1264
The page-turn buttons make the entire reading experience very intuitive.
The BOOX Go Color 7 won't win any awards for its industrial design and overall form factor.
The Go 7 Color Gen 2 runs on Google Android 13, but it is not a stock version of Android, as it utilizes Boox OS.
Weight: 195g · Battery life: approximately 4.8 days typical use · Price: ~$290 USD · CPU benchmark (multi-core): 1713
It is lightweight, very comfortable to hold, has awesome physical page-turn buttons, a frontlight
The tactile writing experience, whilst not awful, is nowhere near as nice as using Wacom EMR
It has a black plastic chassis, with a glass screen, and the rear panel has a rough, grainy texture
