Boox Go 10.3 (gen II) Lumi: First impressions

Turning a Boox Go E-ink Tablet into a Personal Newspaper

I swapped my Kindle for a Boox Go 10.3 (gen II) Lumi to build a dedicated personal newspaper. Despite Android app limitations on E-ink screens, I stripped the device of bloatware and installed F-Droid apps like Capy Reader and Fennec. The result is a lightweight, distraction-free tablet perfect for reading feeds and ebooks, though setting it up required significant troubleshooting.

After all, why am I pouring so much energy into these objects? Why am I so focused on things that, every so often, I complain about or say I don't like? Until, one day, it hit me: maybe I'm only using it because it's there.

More from this day
