Onyx Boox Page.
A 7-inch Carta 1200 display with octa-core processor and 3 GB of RAM. Runs full Android for maximum app flexibility and control — perfect for users who want total customization.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The Boox Page is for a specific person: the reader who's frustrated with vendor lock-in and willing to trade polish for flexibility. If you know how to sideload APKs, customize your home screen, and prefer mechanical control to magical software, this is your device. If you want something that just works out of the box, buy the Paperwhite. But if you want the fastest e-ink processor, the ability to run any reading app, and complete control over your device, the Page is worth the learning curve. It's the most extensible e-reader on the market.”
