Boox (Onyx)
Boox Go Color 7
Retail-available with Android 13 and a Kaleido colour layer. Buy the Gen II specifically — the 2024 first generation has no pen support at all. Writing is the weak point despite being the headline feature, and the colour filter darkens the screen while dropping to 150 ppi.
