A new listing has turned on Amazon for a new color ereader and eNote from Bigme. It has some unique characteristics not found on other E Ink devices, and it even has page-turn buttons.
The Bigme B751C has a 7-inch color E Ink screen (Kaleido 3), with 300 ppi for text and 150 ppi for color, and it also has a frontlight with adjustable color temperature.
It kind of looks like an Onyx Boox Page clone, which was a Kindle Oasis clone, except the Bigme B751C is the first 7-inch ereader to feature a color E Ink screen, and, unlike those aforementioned devices, it also comes with a stylus for notetaking.
However, it uses a capacitive stylus instead of a Wacom touchscreen like most eNotes, so that’s a notable downgrade, but it does have a fairly capable notes app by the looks of it.
The device also runs Android 11 and is open to installing Android apps from the Play Store, so that adds some extra functionality not found on basic ereaders, and it has a good amount of storage space (64GB) and RAM (4GB), and it even has a memory card slot for expansion.
The list price is $299 with free shipping on Amazon. That’s $30 lower than the PocketBook InkPad Color 3, which has a slightly larger 7.8-inch color E Ink screen and no notetaking features. It’s the same price as the 32GB Kindle Oasis with ads. With the upgraded specs and color screen the price actually seems pretty reasonable, unlike some of Bigme’s other devices.

This checks a lot of boxes for me. Page buttons, SD card, BT, big battery. I’m just not sure of the size. With color I’d be using it for graphic novels and old digitized comics. 7 vs 7.8 doesn’t sound like much difference but I’m thinking I want bigger not smaller in a color e-reader.
Am I right in thinking that since it runs Android that it can also run a Kindle App and that means
I can download my books from Kindle Cloud Storage to this one without any issues or complications.
That’s correct, my experience on Boox devices though is that the android app on e-ink doesn’t work as well as on a LCD/OLED screen. It’s sluggish and just not as enjoyable as a true kindle e-reader or LCD/OLED Kindle App. But certainly doable.
In theory, yes. I’ve haven’t tested any Bigme devices so I don’t know how well they handle 3rd-party apps, but with Onyx’s Android ereaders the Kindle app works pretty well, not as well as a dedicated Kindle since the app isn’t designed for E Ink screens, but good enough to be useable.
Nehmt jemand die Akkuleistung bzw. Echte Laufzeit wenn man es weiter einen Reader benutzt.
Danke für die Info
