As Amazon’s Kindle ecosystem increasingly feels designed to keep users within its walls, BOOX continues to carve out a very different niche. After a few weeks with the Boox Go 10.3 Gen II (), it’s hard not to see the tablet as one of the more compelling Kindle Scribe alternatives. The device doesn’t try to replace my tablet or usurp my compact e-reader, but it also isn’t stripped down to a bare-bones writing slab either. Instead, BOOX pairs a sharp monochrome E-Ink display and lightweight design with enough Android flexibility to deliver a genuinely useful device for reading and writing.
