Well I use it almost exclusively as a reader. I genuinely think that’s why I’m happier with it; I don’t know why boox, bigme, et al keep trying to sell these screens as tablet/phone replacements. I just don’t think the panels are ready for that
The main apps I use as a result are Tachiyomi, the included boox neoreader, and kuro reader for vertical scrolling and some formats neoreader struggles with. Because of my vision problems I have things zoomed in and text size pretty large so smaller text is not really an issue.
Do you use the nav ball? I have that setup with the force refresh button and that’s made quite a difference for me. Having that on screen at all times so I can quickly refresh the screen is the biggest help regardless of app or setting.
I am kind of hoping for a firmware update too that could improve things a bit. If you play with adb you can increase and lower the color saturation and I’ve found that increasing the color saturation can improve the image quality. This is great for fixed images like reading where I do forced refreshes regularly because it also worsens image retention noticeably. But on the other hand you can reduce the color saturation which makes things a little less interesting to look at but does appear to improve the ghosting a bit. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Onyx_Boox/comments/13ue3ip/guide_increase_or_lower_saturation_on_boox_tab/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Onyx_Boox/comments/13ue3ip/guide_in... for info on the procedure. Whatever changes you make do not persist through reboot but I still wouldn’t go to crazy especially with pumping the saturation up. Hopefully boox releases a firmware that gives more options on this front. I’m not holding out a ton of hope here though, they don’t seem to release tons of updates for their products unfortunately
- zeagle 3y agoThanks! I appreciate that. The lack of firmware/android updates really does hamstring their appeal.
