Great e-reader for a small package and small price point

Google Play, microSD card slot, and no warm lighting

Viable choice for watching videos on an e-reader

Easy to use and gets the job done

Less than $180 US

Great for reading manga, PDFs, and other documents

Small enough to be portable and powerful enough to be used as a tablet

Long battery life of up to three days of heavy note taking or one week if only used for reading ebooks

Koreader app makes it perfect for PDFs

Neoreader app makes it great for manga

Not the best option for manga readers due to its smaller 6” display

Runs an older version of Android than the Boox Poke 3

No warm lighting

Not the best device for colour readers as B/W quality is degraded

Older version (2020) so prone to hit end of firmware support earlier

More expensive than other devices

Verdict

The Boyue Likebook P6 is a great e-reader for those looking for a small package and small price point. It has Google Play, a microSD card slot, and no warm lighting. It runs an older version of Android than the Boox Poke 3, but it is still a viable choice for watching videos on an e-reader. However, it may not be the best option for manga readers due to its smaller 6” display.

Verdict

The Onyx Boox Nova 3 is a great device for those who need to read manga, PDFs, and other documents. It is small enough to be portable and powerful enough to be used as a tablet. It has a long battery life and can last up to three days of heavy note taking or one week if only used for reading ebooks. The Koreader app makes it perfect for PDFs and the Neoreader app makes it great for manga. The colour readers have degraded B/W quality, so if you're looking for something with sharpness, this is the device for you.

Size

Can anyone recommend a cheap e-ink android?

If you're reading manga you'll want a larger display, but nothing of a reasonable size will be in your price range. The Poke 3 is about it in your price range, or the Likebook P6, but I definitely do not recommend a 6" display for manga reading. I don't even really like reading normal books on a screen that small. Likebook P78 or Boox Nova 3/Air line would be the smallest I'd recommend for manga though

I'm open to a device that is 8 inches or larger, and ideally has a nicer screen. Some options I was considering were the Galaxy Tab S7+ used (tough to find under $400), or going the e-ink route with an Onyx Boox Nova 3.

Battery Life

Great Little E-Reader

They also provide a case to go with it which is nice. One complaint that I have with the e-reader is that the battery drains quickly if you're reading novels online. For me, I usually need to charge it up after a long day of reading. As what the other reviews have mentioned, if you want to maximize battery, use it with Bluetooth and Wifi turned off

Heavy, no page turn buttons, some apps laggy, poor reader but interesting tablet.

Being a tablet the battery life holds up way better than I would have predicted even if it is eink. One can add a keybord or mouse via USB OTG or bluetooth though again lag on typing. Anyway very interesting idea, very bad reader.
