Simple and Affordable

As a basic e-reader, the Boox Poke 5 excels. Its 6-inch e-ink display is crisp and customizable, with full control over text size, font, boldness, and more. Page turns are quick and battery life is incredibly long, with some users going weeks between charges. The included 32GB of storage is ample for large libraries, and microSD expansion is available if you need more.

At just $169, the Poke 5 is highly affordable compared to premium e-readers. For those who just want a solid reading experience without extra bells and whistles, the Poke 5 delivers excellent value. Its magnetic front cover adds protection for just $25 more.

The Convenience of Android

Unlike Kindle and other locked-down e-readers, the Poke 5 runs a full version of Android. This unlocks convenient capabilities other devices lack.

The web browser may be the Poke 5’s standout feature. Easy web access makes loading new books a breeze, whether downloading free titles or accessing your library’s online collection. The Poke 5 can directly run the Libby library app. With the right apps, it can even handle Adobe DRM for borrowed books.

Android also means you can install any app on the Poke 5, within the limits of its modest hardware. Options for social media, news, and productivity exist for those who want them. But the Poke 5 remains focused on distraction-free reading.

An E-Reader That Finds the Balance

Rather than stuffing in flashy features, Onyx focused the Boox Poke 5 on the fundamentals of a great e-reader while giving users just enough extra functionality thanks to Android. For book lovers who want convenience without losing focus, the Poke 5 hits a sweet spot between simplicity and capability. Its reasonable price makes this pocket-friendly e-ink reader easy to recommend to all.
