Its user interface is simple to understand, easy to use and full of unexpected – and useful – features. However, the Nova 3 Color does take a while to wake up. The Onyx Boox Nova 3 Color’s octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset and 3GB of RAM aren’t exactly cutting edge, but they don’t have to be to usher in a fluid experience that rarely hangs or freezes.

Ability to download apps - including Kindle and Kobo.

Simple interface and wide file type support.

However, if you want to listen to music you’d do better to attach a pair of USB-C earphones to the Boox Nova 3 Color (there’s no dedicated 3.5mm jack).

No, you’re not going to want to play music through it, but you can drag and drop MP3s of podcasts or audiobooks (or download the Audible app) and listen to voice-based fare perfectly well. If you're more into audiobooks, the Onyx Boox Nova 3 Color does have one tiny, tinny speaker on the reverse side. You can also tweak the font size, weight, leading and all kinds of other parameters to your heart’s content.

While the Kaleido Plus E Ink display is clearly colorful, it’s not blisteringly bright. However, there are three small issues: brightness, resolution and ghosting. If you want to read comics or magazines, this is the E Ink device for you.

There’s a physical ‘home’ button at the bottom of the screen, and a USB-C slot on the side of the device that sits slightly proud of the curved back. The Boox Nova 3 Color even looks like a tablet, with a bezel around its display that’s 14mm at the top and 8mm at the sides. Though it weighs 35g less than its tablet rival and is significantly slimmer. Measuring 197 x 137 x 7.7mm and weighing 265g, it’s significantly larger than the present 6-inch Amazon Kindle Paperwhite – which is too small for annotating and writing – but is similar in size to the iPad mini (2019). Presumably that’s to prevent distorted colors, but it does remove a useful option when reading an ebook.
