I own the Boox Tab Mini C. It’s fine for reading ebooks. The screen refresh isn’t really fast enough for a lot of apps , especially apps with pictures or things other than text. This causes a lot of artifacting.

You can read news papers, magazines, ebooks, and comics and it’s fine for that although I think perhaps would be better without the color e-ink for most things. If it had a color setting and a grey scale setting I’d like that.

But it makes the page illegible if you scroll for too long otherwise, so stuff you would use it for like reading web pages get progressively more difficult the longer you scroll.

I think the size is good and I also think you’re likely to have the same problem on a Kindle to some extent.

Additionally, it is android but it doesn’t natively come with a lot of android apps you might be used to. You can remove some of the apps but it’s not as easy as just going to the app store and deleting them.

It’s nice to see this kind of thing in person before you buy it.

I recommend buying it from a store where you can return it if you don’t like it.
