Onyx Boox has introduced a brand-new e-reader, the Go 7. This is a dedicated e-book reader with a black and white e-paper display. It was released this month and is now widely available. The big selling points are the Carta 1300 e-paper display and physical page-turn buttons, which have the same design as the seminal Amazon Kindle Oasis, making it instantly familiar to a large number of people.
The Go 7 features a 7-inch E INK Carta 1300 e-paper display with a resolution of 1680 x 1264 with 300 PPI. The device’s body is black, and the screen is flush with the bezel and protected by a layer of glass. It has white and amber LED lights that read in the dark. The front-lit display and color temperature system can be combined to provide an exceptional reading experience. A G-sensor will automatically switch the orientation from portrait to landscape mode.
Underneath the hood is an Octa-core processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. If this is not enough space to house your audiobooks, e-books, comics, or PDF files, an SD card is capable of an additional 1 TB. There is a single speaker, so if you want to listen to music or audiobooks, you’ll want to take advantage of wireless earbuds or headphones, thanks to the Bluetooth 5.1 support. Surf the web or download apps via WIFI. A USB-C port is available to transfer content to the Go 7, and it’s also used to charge the device. It is powered by a 2,300 mAh battery.
The Go 7 runs Google Android 13 and has full access to Google Play Services and the Google Play Store. This is an international release, supporting all major languages. If you prefer to sideload your content, the default reading app is called Neoreader and is one of the best in the industry. It supports PDF, CAJ, DJVU, CBR, CBZ, EPUB, EPUB3, AZW3, MOBI, TXT, DOC, DOCX, FB2, CHM, RTF, HTML, ZIP, PRC, PPT, and PPTX.
