size.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you thought that eBook readers have gone the way of the dodo because of smartphones and tablets, you probably haven\u2019t been paying attention to the tech market in the past two or so years. As people become more weary of the harmful effects of screens on their eyes and bodies, especially at night, the desire for E Ink devices has started to grow stronger. And just in time, these devices have started growing out of their humble roots, blurring the lines between extremely simple eReaders and powerful tablets. Leading this new wave of innovation is Onyx BOOX, which has been pushing the boundaries of what these devices are capable of in terms of power and size. Its latest BOOX Tab Mini C tries to distill all these new features down to a more manageable size, so we take a deep dive to see whether it successfully pulls off this hat trick or if it cuts too many corners along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.boox.com\/products\/tabminic\">BOOX<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aesthetics\"><\/span>Aesthetics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s hard not to compare the BOOX Tab Mini C with its older, larger sibling, the BOOX Tab Ultra C. Just by the name alone, you can already tell they\u2019re related and you might easily write off the Tab Mini C as the smaller version and nothing more. There\u2019s some truth to that, of course, but you\u2019d be doing yourself a disservice if you stop there because you could be missing out on a device with a lot of potential. The two E Ink readers do have notable differences and, fortunately, most of them work in the Tab Mini C\u2019s favor. Most, but not all.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest difference is, of course, the size, with the BOOX Tab Mini C\u2019s 7.8-inch display coming in a more familiar size for eBook readers. Of course, that\u2019s just the display size, because the actual size of the device is a lot larger. That\u2019s thanks to the substantial bezels around the E Ink screen, which sadly makes the device look more like an un<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ealing blast from the past. The AG glass cover does lie flat across the front, making it look a little modern, but it\u2019s nothing compared to the sleeker look of the BOOX Tab Ultra C or, closer to its size, the new BOOX Page.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-447773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-3.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<p>The back of the device is also very different from some of the more current selection of BOOX devices, sporting a somewhat old-school design where the edges are inclined and curved rather than completely flat. This makes the device look and feel thicker, though it also has the benefit of giving your hand a bit more comfort, as we\u2019ll see later. Unfortunately, this along with the wide bezels make the BOOX Tab Mini C look a bit unflattering and uninteresting, if not for the E INK display that, by default, shows its colors even when the device is locked or powered off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ergonomics\"><\/span>Ergonomics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Size does matter, especially when it comes to portable devices like phones and tablets. It defines what you can and can\u2019t do with the product, at least on a comfortable level, and it dictates how portable and convenient it really is. That\u2019s definitely the case with the BOOX Tab Mini C, which addresses one of the biggest pain points of the BOOX Tab Ultra C, no pun intended.<\/p>\n<p>Weighing only 310g, the BOOX Tab Mini C makes the device easier to hold for longer periods of time, especially with just one hand. It\u2019s a little over the size of an iPad mini, but significantly lighter than its Ultra sibling. The curved edges of the tablet\u2019s back help with that comfort, too, letting it settle into your hand with fewer sharp edges to cut into your skin. In short, this is the ultimate color E Ink reader in terms of comfort and portability, ensuring that you\u2019ll want to have it in your hand all the time.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447774\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-7.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-447774\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-7.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-7.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"5be222f9d8d85e6dce6e9d09-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"5be222f9d8d85e6dce6e9d09-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When it comes to comfort, its selling point is, of course, that 7.8-inch Kaleido 3 E ink display. It doesn\u2019t strain the eyes as a regular LCD or OLED screen would because it doesn\u2019t shine light in the direction of your eyes. It doesn\u2019t even have backlighting but instead employs front lights that let you pick not only the brightness but also the temperature warmth, mixing it up to your comfort depending on what you\u2019re reading. And since it supports 4,096 colors rather than shades of gray only, this eye-friendly benefit applies not only to ebooks but to every piece of digital content as well, from comics to PDFs to webpages and, if you\u2019re really up to it, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>.

Nowhere is that more evident than in the BOOX Tab <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, including this newest arrival. You could even call them Android tablets with E Ink displays and you wouldn\u2019t be off the mark.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of specs, the BOOX Tab Mini C would be the equivalent of a mid-range Android tablet, powered by an unnamed octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Interestingly, these are the very same specs as the larger Tab Ultra C, save for half the internal storage capacity. It even has the same dedicated graphics processor that is responsible for the display\u2019s unbelievably fast performance. You do have options of whether to prioritize speed over quality, but the Tab Mini C is able to deliver satisfactory results on every level.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-447775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-4.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"5be222f9d8d85e6dce6e9d09-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"5be222f9d8d85e6dce6e9d09-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The small eBook reader slash Android tablet houses a large 5,000 mAh battery, which, truth be told, isn\u2019t that significantly lower than the 6,300 mAh on the Ultra model.

The one caveat is that it\u2019s actually shorter than your average eBook reader, depending on how many non-reading apps you use. It\u2019s a powerful device that can run almost any Android app, but that comes at the cost of battery life, especially if you leave some of those running in the background.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding up the specs is Bluetooth 5.0, which you will mostly use for hooking up wireless earbuds, USB-C for charging, and Wi-Fi 802.11b\/g\/n\/ac for Internet connectivity. There\u2019s also a gyro sensor that\u2019s useful for automatically rotating the user interface depending on the device\u2019s orientation. Unlike its larger sibling, there is no rear camera for document scanning. The BOOX Tab Mini C ships with a stylus, though the BOOX Pen Plus is the kind that doesn\u2019t have an eraser on the opposite end of the tip.<\/p>\n<p>The Tab Mini C runs Android 11 with Onyx BOOX\u2019s special skin running on top. It\u2019s not exactly the latest Android release, but that\u2019s not surprising for the brand either. Although Onyx does support devices for about five years with regular updates, they rarely upgrade the Android version during their lifetime. The Onyx BOOX OS, as it is sometimes called, has changed a lot since the early days, and this most recent incarnation brings it closer to being a more familiar Android interface without completely removing the eReader experience. It even comes with Google Play Store already pre-installed, so you\u2019re just a few simple steps away from installing your favorite Android apps. The device comes with Onyx\u2019s own Neoreader, which is quite impressive for its wide support of file formats and a plethora of features. You aren\u2019t limited to that, however, and you can install any kind of eBook app or library you want, including Amazon Kindle, Kobo, Comixology, and more.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447776\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-5.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-447776\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-5.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad layout=\"fluid\" height=\"fluid\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/3847355\/yd-select-amp\"><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<p>The device\u2019s crowning glory is really that color E Ink display, now available in a more convenient size. With a pixel density of 300 ppi for black and white and 150 ppi for color, text always comes out crisp, regardless of their color. Those colors are also vibrant, at least as far as 4,096 colors go, and they\u2019re well-saturated and not washed out. The 7.8-inch size is perfect not just for reading books but also for comics, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/anime-manga\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"6\" title=\"Anime || Manga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">manga<\/a>, magazines, and PDFs, hitting the sweet spot between small and large screen sizes. That said, it isn\u2019t an ideal size for A5, much less A4, documents, which is where larger devices like the BOOX Tab Ultra C shines. It\u2019s not that big of a sacrifice, though, especially if you\u2019re getting convenience and comfort in return.<\/p>\n<p>The BOOX Tab Mini C is more than just a reader, though, especially with that stylus it ships with. The BOOX Notes app and Neoreader\u2019s built-in annotation capabilities transform it from a consumption device to a learning tool and more. Writing on the screen is smooth and fluid, and the matte glass surface adds a bit of toothiness and resistance that makes it almost feel like writing on paper. It only supports the most basic colors, of course, but true colors are viewable on regular screens once you export the note as a PDF or image. One important caveat, however, is that the pen\u2019s smooth performance really only applies to BOOX\u2019s first-party apps and a few choice ones like OneNote, Evernote, and the WPS Office Suite. There is a considerable lag when using other apps, which is something that avid note-takers might want to consider.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sustainability\"><\/span>Sustainability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although Onyx has been playing the eReader <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> for a long time, it hasn\u2019t yet jumped on a trend that is gripping big device manufacturers. Given the ubiquity and relative affordability of these kinds of devices, it almost behooves Onyx to also have a strong sustainability commitment in place. Unfortunately, we have yet to see that happen, though it\u2019s also reassuring that it is at least doing some minor steps in that direction, intentionally or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Using aluminum-magnesium alloy for its casing, for example, helps reduce the amount of plastic each device uses, and keeping the packaging to a minimum also helps a bit. Onyx doesn\u2019t ship with a charger either, so that\u2019s another point in its favor. Long-term software support helps keep the device running smoothly and securely for years, though eReaders, even Android-based ones, aren\u2019t as high-maintenance as their full tablet counterparts anyway. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t have much going for it when it comes to repairing and servicing its products, forcing owners to send in their devices to a few authorized service providers spread in a few countries. We\u2019re still keeping our fingers crossed that Onyx BOOX will step up soon and be a role model in this industry.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-6.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-447777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-6.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Value\"><\/span>Value<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C is definitely a smaller version of the Tab Ultra C with very few differences, and you might ask why you would favor it over the \u201cfuller\u201d version at all. That said, the question works the other way around as well, where you might ask why you\u2019d even want a larger and heavier tablet if you can have one that is lighter, more comfortable, and more convenient to carry around. It all boils down to what you\u2019d use an E Ink device for.<\/p>\n<p>The BOOX Tab Ultra C is clearly marketed more as a productivity device, one whose reading capabilities are put at the service of learning and working. It\u2019s best for A5 or even some A4 documents, which is what most academic or scientific papers come in, not to mention magazines and periodicals. The larger screen size is also conducive for having two documents or apps side-by-side, and it supports a decent-sized keyboard for typing out notes, emails, and the like.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s possible to do all those on the BOOX Tab Mini C as well, it isn\u2019t as conducive for these use cases with its smaller display. Split screen, for example, will feel very cramped, and since there\u2019s no official keyboard folio case, you\u2019ll have to arrange for a separate Bluetooth keyboard for your typing needs. The hardware is very much capable of doing almost everything, but the smaller and lighter device feels best for reading and writing on the go rather than working on a desk.<\/p>\n<p>As far as price goes, the Tab Mini C isn\u2019t exactly inexpensive, though that $449.99 price tag, fortunately, includes a magnetic folio case. Compared to other E Ink devices, it\u2019s quite pricey, but it is also in a class of its own. There are very few color E Ink readers that come in this compact size, and the closest competitors are either using older E Ink Kaleido <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> or are even more expensive. At the moment, there is pretty much no contest when it comes to a pocket-book size color eReader, making the BOOX Tab Mini C one of a kind.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verdict\"><\/span>Verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is thankfully a resurgence in consuming text content that goes beyond scrolling through social media, whether it\u2019s reading ebooks or tons of articles on the Web. This trend, however, has also made people more aware of how common screens wreak havoc on our eyes and our health, especially at night. ePaper Displays are becoming more popular because of this, to the point that there are even computer monitors that use it on the side or in their entirety. For readers of all kinds, however, a portable E Ink device is a better choice and investment.<\/p>\n<p>Of these, the Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C probably represents the culmination of all the innovations available in this segment to date. Its 7.8-inch E Ink Kaleido 3 display brings a splash of color in a more ergonomic and comfortable size, while tablet-like hardware and a Google-enabled Android platform bring all the power and functionality you need on a portable device. Yes, it\u2019s a bit on the pricey side and its design isn\u2019t exactly inspiring, but these thankfully tend to get out of the way once you start immersing yourself in a world of text and colors that bring joy to your life without straining your eyes.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-447778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-1.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Onyx BOOX Tab Mini C: Color, Productivity, and Fun in a More Convenient Package\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-color-productivity-and-fun-in-a-more-convenient-package\/onyx-boox-tab-mini-c-review-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"5be222f9d8d85e6dce6e9d09-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"5be222f9d8d85e6dce6e9d09-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n<span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ewdison Then<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
