Onyx BOOX is introducing a brand new pair of seven-inch eReaders, the BOOX Go 7 and BOOX Go Shade 7 Gen II. Priced at a respective $250 and $280, these are the primary seven-inch BOOX eReaders to assist stylus enter.

The Onyx BOOX Go 7 seems to be a really competent Android eReader, packing a 300ppi Carta 1300 E Ink display screen, the Android 13 working system, a built-in speaker (plus Bluetooth performance), and an asymmetrical design with page-turn buttons. It is basically a black-and-white model of the first-generation Go Shade 7 with stylus assist and an OS improve.

And, humorous sufficient, the Go Shade 7 Gen II is only a colorized model of the usual Go 7. BOOX added stylus assist, Android 13, and redesigned page-turn buttons, but it surely saved the octa-core processor and Kaleido 3 E Ink display screen from final yr’s Go Shade 7 mannequin.

The Go 7 Shade Gen II solely prices $280, which is fairly inexpensive for a shade eReader. Nonetheless, I ought to level out that shade E Ink is considerably “dim” and low-res resulting from the usage of a shade filter.

I do not counsel shopping for a shade eReader except you propose on studying in direct mild, in any other case you may want to make use of the pill’s frontlight on a regular basis. In fact, this can be a difficulty of private choice—I hate utilizing my eReader’s frontlight, however I am positive that different individuals are high quality with it.

Each of those eReaders are appropriate with the BOOX InkSense Stylus. Nonetheless, the stylus is bought individually. It is also out of inventory on the time of writing, which is considerably ironic, given the truth that stylus assist is a headline characteristic for the brand new BOOX eReaders. BOOX hasn’t clarified whether or not third-party styluses will work with the Go 7 or Go Shade 7 Gen II.

Pre-orders for the BOOX Go 7 can be found as we speak for $250 on the BOOX internet retailer. All purchases of the Go 7 embody a free folio case, at the very least for now. BOOX says that it’ll open pre-orders for the $280 Go 7 Shade Gen II “quickly.” Orders are shipped from a U.S. warehouse, which means that prospects should not want to fret about being charged an import payment by their courier (a priority that Temu and Shien buyers are dealing with resulting from altering U.S. commerce coverage). That mentioned, BOOX, like other eReader brands, lately increased its prices in response to tariffs.
