What Buyers Say
BOOX Go Color 7 7" 2Dai 7in color 2025
The Boox Go 7 Color is praised as a flexible e-reader with a great size, buttons, and customization, but opinions are sharply divided on reliability and note-taking. Several users report freezing, random reboots, and crashes, while others love it after setup. The note-taking feature is widely considered unusable, and the lack of included case or stylus is a common complaint. Battery life is decent but worse than a Kindle, especially with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on.
Pros
- Perfect size and weight for one-handed use
- Physical page-turn buttons work on most apps
- Highly customizable settings
- Color e-ink screen with no glare outdoors
- Google Play pre-installed
Cons
- Frequent freezing and random reboots
- Note-taking feature is unusable
- No included case or stylus
- Proprietary stylus often out of stock
- Battery life worse than Kindle with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth on
