I've used the Boox color e-reader. It's fine. My one complaint is that the white background of the screen is not as white as the background in traditional e-readers. Like I saw somewhere that the Kindle's white background is somewhere near 85% white, and the Boox color screen is 65ish% white. It was noticable when I used it, to the point that I sent it back and got a non color e-reader.

I ended up getting the Boox Nova Air 2. it is fantastic. https://onyxboox.com/boox_novaair2

I'm guessing because onyx doesn't have a book store to subsidize the price with like Amazon.
