Boox Poke5 Reviews

Very unstable and slow

By Rodrigo

Rated 2 out of 5

Date: 2024-08-29

I bought this as a Kindle replacement as I could no longer get some magazine subscriptions on Kindle. It looks great, is light, and the display quality is great for reading. Unfortunately it just doesn’t work reliably. I tried a lot of things - different launchers, different browsers, comparing reading magazines in browsers vs native apps, changing cache settings, updating firmware, and eventually gave up. The device crashes 2-3 times every time I use it. Even just using the stock browser is very slow. I think it might be that the device doesn’t have enough RAM, but either way I’m going back to my Kindle for now. I wish I hadn’t persevered for a few months so I could return it. Useless.

Great pocket book

Everything about this pocket book is great. The size and weight, the battery life, the speed (comparing to my old pocket book). Love it.

Does this support Kindle or Kobo software? Can I read from Kindle and Kobo libraries on this?

Asked by: Alan

I have the Book Page and Tab Ultra C they run the same version of Android 11 as the Poke. I have the Kindle, Nook, and Kobo apps all installed, as well as Libby, they run perfectly.
