For a long time, I was using my Android-based E-Ink devices in the most basic ways possible. I read books, occasionally opened a PDF, and mostly just wondered why they didn’t feel all that different from a more locked-down e-reader. The truth is, I hadn’t really invested the time to get the most out of devices that are capable of a lot more. Ahead of the new year, I spent time testing some of the most commonly recommended apps for E-Ink devices to stop taking my Boox for granted and set it up for a better experience in 2026. These are the apps I liked the most and the ones I plan to keep using this year.
