As also for page layouts, which is preferable for the color accuracy, and crisp quality. + + Also worth noting - the Boox UI allows for acceptable customizability to make interface and reading experience more comfortable. + +*** Cons, go as follows: + + - Costly, it feels cheap to hold and use. Being purly plastic, without screen protection ootb doesn't help much, I am afraid of letting it go without attention because I fear a person just sitting on it will cause tha tablet to snap like a post box; + - Obviously get a V2, but make sure it wasn't overshadowed by another Boox release because they like releasing new versions unannounced, more on that later; + - If you want to use it as a Dumb Phone - *stop*. It's not just slow on Input, it also can eat keyboard strokes. So Chatting and Note Taking are dead.
