I found the fix for rotation in Readwise! APPS -> App management -> Force to follow system orientation -> select Reader

[LaurenSohn]

Best manual refresh is to program it to the page turn buttons!!! I just hold down the next page button, works like a charm

I had a few boox devices in the past but they required so much "fiddling around" to get them to work to my preferences so I switched to supernote and kobo (and kindle). I love the look of the Go devices, especially the white Page/Go 7 but geez, watching you tweak all the settings and figure things out reminded me that I prefer things that are simpler to manage. I'll stick with my Oasis and libra color for now! Thanks for the early review!!

Regarding the landscape button settings.
The setup is made for a one hand handling.
When holding the reader with only one hand, the thumb reach is limited to only the closest button. Thus since that the natural direction of reading is going forward, whichever button is within reach of the handling thumb is used to move forward.
It's more base on convenience than first impression logic.

Also like the ZSA Voyager in the background. I use that one too!!

Questions, 1. On Kindle App, can you disable screen and use buttons only? or on neoreader or any other reader that you know of is that possible? 2. How's the just reading a novel or book you want to highlight experience on the android compared to Oasis? What are your observations?

[vinland]

Wow! You already got your hands on the Go Color 7. Do you already have the Go 10.3, because that's the model I'm really interested in learning more about?

[philibrokim]

thx for the video!
Btw How is it compared to Page? Is it more snappy with extra ram and cpu clock speed??

I think because this was an unboxing and first impressions video that it was a bit painful to watch Brandon relearn how to use both the kindle app and the boox settings. I can't wait for a full review after he has time to master the product. I am most interested in whether the the buttons on the Boox make a clicky sound (which I didn't hear) or if they are silent? Also Voya seems to hate when side buttons aren't separated by a space. I hope Brandon will tell us if he has a preference between the Oasis style buttons and the Boox Buttons.

I think your the first to upload this on YouTube?

[HolisticHabitat]

The commercials shows a white model. Is it possible to order one in white?

[subhankarhotta]

Can we disable the color option somewhere in settings and make it fully B&W?

[franzgames]

Just got mines today and I'm having trouble syncing my kindle to it. So far I gotta say that the kobo Libra color looks better but I haven't messed with the settings just yet

[Cookieshavechocolate]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your dedication.

Im tired of black bezel tablet. I pan on getting this white version. Btw i always use white bezel ipad in the past.

Always enjoy these Out of the Box videos. Most people stop after they've unboxed...you do that first hour of a new device which is always interesting. BTW re Oasis buttons, I think you have your page turn buttons set to REVERSE. If you go into Settings, Home and Library, Reading Options, Page-turn buttons, yours is probably on Reverse is that the top button is Back and the bottom one Forward. If you change that to Default when is landscape I think you'll get the expected behaviour. Might work for the Colo(u)r Go too.

[kingsuller]

can you use magsafe magnets with this? I’m planning on using mag pop socket on this

[jenniferdubay]

1:06:38 i think continuous scrolling messes with page turns

[xParadoja]

Can I listen my audiobooks on this e-reader? Like audible?
