BOOX Go 7 Color (Gen II) ★★★★★ After five years, I replaced the Poke3 with the Go 7 Color. It’s a lot faster and more responsive, brings back physical page turning buttons, and adds (pastel) color. Like its predecessor it has a sharp e-ink screen and runs any Android-based ebook reader app.
Microsoft Surface Go 2 ★★★★☆ A great ultra-light Windows 10 tablet with detachable keyboard. Or an annoyingly slow Windows 11 tablet.
Onyx BOOX Poke3 ★★★★☆ I used the Poke3 as my main ebook reader for almost five years. It’s a convenient size, has a clear e-ink display, and can run the Android app for (almost) any eBook store.
Pebble 2 Smart Watch ★★★☆☆ The rare smartwatch that was actually designed to work well as a watch. It was discontinued ages ago, but the just-announced Core Duo 2 is essentially an updated version.
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Phone) ★★★★★ Much as I like newer phones, there are a few things that I really miss about the S4, especially the ergonomics.
