So I was going to get rid of a couple I just hadn't got round to it. PS the reason for so many one I only recently got the Icarus when they were selling the refurbs cheap. Only problem is I need to get it from bang good. I was thinking the T63 which also has 300ppi. So I thought I'd look at one replacement hopefully reduced in the sales. FWIW it was a recalled little heater, of course had no idea it had been recalled and will be spending the next 2 months living downstairs in my small house. Everything electrical apparently has to be written off due to the smoke. All but 1 Nook was in my bedroom 2 nights ago when I had a fire. I hope also on T63.I have 2 nook st glowlights, 2 Icarus T61's and the mini kobo. You cannot use the physical buttons for Aldiko reader, nor for Kindle and the touchscreen with their protection installed works difficult, BUT you can read any format on Boyue T62. I managed to install Aldiko reader from the Kindle shop, I have established an account and downloading my already paid for ebooks in the Aldiko reader – that’s the way it works. So, when it comes to epub with copyright, you cannot open them – the reader already installed functions only for unprotected. Their Android is customized, so you won’t be able to establish a Google account, to install Google Play and to install apps from it. If you have enough patience, OK, if not, better look elsewhere. THE BAD: the grayish image for Internet pages is a nightmare and the processing (and downloading) speed is real slow. The battery life is decent and the front light works. THE GOOD: I can read almost any format on Boyue, including Kindle – I have managed to install the Kindle shop and the Kindle reader, it took some time but I can read now every ebook format. I also have a T62 (and two basic Kindle too). Until then, if you’re an American looking for an ereader, plan to visit Canada. Moral of the story? Hey Kobo, get an American distributor. Amazon? Their price for an H2o was ridiculous. EBay? I’ve had very bad experiences with them. I had such a terrible time ordering the Kobo though (Kobo lost my order to the States) that I probably wouldn’t have the Kobo at all had it not been for someone who brought it back from Canada for me. Not to a Kobo H2o, though and had I gotten an H2o originally instead of the string of the Voyage (which soon broke) PaperWhite 3 and Inkbook, I could’ve avoided all those inferior purchases. The Inkbook’s startup is not *that* terrible, though, and the features of this device - storage and much better reader software - still make it a better alternative to Kindle. I easily installed a much better one but it’s a multi-step process to start it once the device shuts down. The Inkbook has two default readers and both are pretty terrible. For 50% more, though, I’m not sure this device would be worth it.įWIW, what I don’t like about the Inkbook is its Android startup to get to the reader. The Inkbook has been rock-solid for me and it was a bargain at under $100. MicroSD card slot for cards up to 32GB.įiled Under: Android, eBook Readers Tagged With: boyue.The only downside is the buttons often don’t work with 3rd-party apps. The most distinguishing thing about the T63 is the combination of the flush glass screen and the page buttons on each side of the screen. The usual features are included too like WiFi and an adjustable frontlight. There’s 8GB internal storage space and it has a microSD card slot for cards up to 32GB. It runs Android 4.2.2 and can install apps. Otherwise the software and the other specs appear to be the same. The only difference appears to be the screen has been upgraded to 300 ppi. It looks exactly like the InkBook Obsidian that I reviewed last December.
