The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, the BOOX Go 10.3 Gen II Lumi is the monochrome reading-and-writing favorite. ewritable.net calls its active stylus 'the best implementation of an active stylus that I have encountered on any E-ink' device, and appleinsider.com praises a quick, easy reading experience flipping through books and long documents. On r/ereader owners say the text sits close to the surface and is 'very readable even in pretty dark rooms,' and r/Onyx_Boox notes the whiter screen makes it better for reading books without the front light.

What reviewers liked

  • ewritable.net calls its active stylus the best it has tested on any e-ink device
  • Whiter, clearer monochrome screen praised by r/Onyx_Boox and r/ereader for reading
  • Light, pleasant and portable per r/Android hands-on impressions
  • Solid 4.3 Amazon average and Android flexibility

Where it falls short

  • Very thin review base (only 22 Amazon ratings)
  • appleinsider.com's own headline calls the refresh 'both better and somehow worse'
  • r/Onyx_Boox owners say small-handwriting control suffers when zoomed in
  • One forum reviewer still prefers reMarkable's USI pen writing feel

The Boox devices are great. I use mine more than I thought because it's just so light and pleasant.

- I went to the Boox Store today, and I really liked the device. In my opinion, the writing feel is still not as good as Remarkable's USI pen ...
