Review on BOOX Nova3 Color: 7.8 ePaper Digital Paper Tablet with Cold Light, 100DPI Color Mode, 300DPI B/W Mode - High-Resolution Color eReader and Digital Notepad by Justin Butler

So I received the Nova Color 3 today. After two awful hours I decided to see if Revane would accept it as a return and they would accept it and it's repackaged. In fact, the problem was not in the technology, but in the usability. Or in this case, enmity. I picked up a thick quick start guide and that was my first clue. It basically didn't do anything at all, other than displaying the device's two buttons and the location of the speaker and microphone. About 20+ languages. I finally saw how to download the manual with the device itself and it was the worst manual I've seen in forty years. In earnest. It was written by a man whose third language is probably English. Just awful. I think if you've ever worked with a Boox device you already know a lot. But I? no I have worked extensively with Apple and Kindle devices and am familiar enough with Android to communicate with my Samsung S5 and myself. a percentage of users will ever care, and the manual (adjective see above) doesn't even mention how to transfer files with a USB cable. So it took me a short but unnecessary time to figure out which folder to go to. But finally I have a comic on my device! I was so excited and then opened the file. It was a 1960's comic book, a recolor of Disney's Donald Duck, so the backgrounds are pretty straight forward and the colors are washed out and not difficult to reproduce. With my Pocketbook Color (6 inch screen) I have to adjust the contrast and saturation, but the picture is very sharp and the colors are muted but quite colorful. However, viewing on the Nova 3 Color was simply epic. a failure and far below the pocketbook screen on any measure of visual quality. The first problem was severe ghosting in all color ranges when I turned the page. Now the manual (see above for the exact description of the same) had an almost unusable section on how I put the refresh menu selection in a permanently displayed button. The only way, after almost an hour, to get this button to work was to ignore the hilarious, poorly written text in the manual (see above) and just look at the images. So I was with my refresh button I. First, let me tell you about a car I owned in 1968. Like many cars at the time, he didn't like cold weather. Accelerate and step on the gas pedal several times. Varrum! But the car started. On my Nova 3 Color each side ended with a halo. Pressing the refresh button repeatedly was like using a finger instead of a foot on a 1968 accelerator pedal. But the car seemed to stall at every stop light, every stop sign, every hill. Well, every page is turned here. Now, even after the halos were "fixed", the colors were TERRIBLE. WARS. BAD. Compared to the smaller and cheaper Pocketbook Color. I am a good "adjuster". I struggled to adjust the contrast, saturation, and refresh rate in the Nova 3's color menu. I've never gotten a setting that would make a file in any way acceptable on the Nova 3 Color. I've read many reviews online that say the new Nova Color either outperforms or is comparable to the new Pocketbook Color (7.8-inch model) when reading comics. Okay, I haven't seen a 7.8" pocketbook yet. But if you compare it to my Pocketbook Color 6" then it's totally safe. none. So, okay, this device is still being returned for a refund. It is packed, labeled and taped. I'm simply offering the above as my own review and confident thoughts. Finally, I have to say that I highly recommend Nova 3 Color if you care less about the actual color capabilities than an Android tablet AND if you're comfortable with the Android and Boox OS users have very good experience and instruction is not required.
