Finally, it seems that the Kobo eink readers now have color eink screens. No more needing to buy those Boox tablets. :bunhdthink:

@chikorita157 7" is a little too small for manga. I read on a Kobo Aura One (7.8") which is fine for most manga but I have to zoom in for translation notes and anything with dense text. American-formatted comics are right out.
fwiw I'm happy with Kobo itself. I buy from the Kobo store so I use stock OS, but lots of people replace it for something faster at CBZ and other formats. One complaint I often hear from new owners is that Kobo dropped MicroSD for newer devices, so you can't expand storage for yourself.

@tojikomori I have a Boox Nova Air C and I guess it was allright, although I have to zoom in. However, I need to replace the screen protector since it got damaged and I got a replacement one. Haven’t got the chance to replace it.

The one thing I don’t like or trust about the Boox is that it sends data to a Chinese server. But I only read Bookwalker ripped manga to PDFs on there, so…

For now, I’m just using a 2018 iPad Pro.
