Overview
Commuters and pocket readers get a phone-shaped ePaper device from BOOX that shows books and documents on an E Ink panel instead of a backlit LCD. Physical buttons handle input, the screen rotates on its own, and the light's color temperature is adjustable.
Pocketability with large onboard storage is why to consider it, since a whole library and stacks of PDFs fit on the device. The spec sheet lists Bluetooth but no Wi-Fi, and the stylus is sold separately, so the full experience takes some checking.
Who it's for
Readers who carry a phone everywhere but want a separate screen for books get a matching pocket form. People who annotate large documents or want a bundled pen should look at bigger BOOX models.
Pros and cons
- Pocketable phone-like size
- Large onboard storage for a reader
- Physical buttons for input
- Opens EPUB, MOBI and PDF natively
- Wi-Fi not listed in specs
- Stylus sold separately
- Small screen for full-page PDFs
Performance notes
Page refresh and app responsiveness depend on the E Ink panel and the device memory, which is ample for an ereader. Text sharpness comes down to the native resolution spread over a small screen, so fixed-layout PDFs shrink to fit. Color temperature control changes the warmth of the light for reading in different rooms.
