As someone buying a color screen boox soon, I think it's worth a mention that the battery is MUCH worse on boox because it has to run android. Like, the boox may last a day or two vs the Kindle Paperwhite lasting a couple weeks.
It's not a huge issue if you are home a lot and can charge, but I love the Paperwhite because it feels like it ALWAYS is charged. It just doesn't have the color screen so I guess I will have both now, one for comics and one for books.
That's weird, I'd expect my battery life to be at least 30h for reading books.
Though if I use an app like the guardian it goes down faster because of the scroll. So maybe change to another app for reading. I like moon reader.
I have the note air 2 plus, the battery is only bad if you have WiFi on, with WiFi off it can last weeks. It's a really nice device otherwise.
I think I got lucky and got one of the models with improved battery (Onyx Boox Page). I've been reading the Trigun manga on it for over a week now and it's only just getting to the point where I need to charge it finally.
But good point. Some of the older models might have worse battery life to consider. I only have a black and white model too. Color might use more battery.
