Alternative Uses for the Boox Go Color 7
The Boox Go Color 7 and a Bluetooth keyboard I have recently been using my Boox Go Color 7 e-reader a lot. The ability to carry, say, all of Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire in a tiny package and read a chapter or so at a time is pretty neat. The e-ink display and modest SOC mean that battery life is measured in days rather than hours.
