Dive Into the Future of Reading With the BOOX Page E-Reader

Somewhere along the way, e-readers decided buttons were old-fashioned, and a generation of readers quietly disagreed. Tapping a glass screen works, but it is not the same as the small, satisfying click of a real page-turn button under your thumb. The BOOX Page brings that feeling back, and wraps it in one of the most complete 7-inch readers we carry.

Buttons are not nostalgia, they are ergonomics

Hold a book one-handed and your thumb naturally rests along the edge. The Page is built around that grip: dedicated page-turn buttons sit right where your thumb lands, so you can read an entire novel without shifting your hand or reaching across the screen.

That matters more often than you would think. On a cold platform with gloves on, tapping a touchscreen is a coin flip; a button just works. Same story when you are eating lunch over a book, or holding a subway rail with your free hand. Touch is still there whenever you want it. The buttons simply mean you never have to.

A screen that earns the name Page

The Page's 7-inch E Ink Carta 1200 screen renders text at 300 ppi behind an AG glass flat cover-lens, which is print-grade sharpness with a glare-resistant finish. Compared with a typical 6-inch reader, you get meaningfully more words on screen per page turn, without giving up one-handed comfort: the whole device weighs about 195 grams and measures just 6 mm thin.

Inside, an 8-core processor keeps page turns snappy, and 32GB of storage plus a microSD card slot means your library effectively never runs out of room. A built-in speaker and Bluetooth handle audiobooks, and the battery is sized for long stretches between charges.

Your whole library, one device

Here is where the Page pulls away from conventional e-readers: it runs Android. That means it is not married to any single bookstore.

• Kindle and Kobo apps install normally, with your purchases and reading positions intact.
• Libby connects you to your Canadian public library's ebook collection for free borrowing.
• Manga, news, and read-it-later apps all work, turning the Page into a general-purpose reading hub.

If you have ever hesitated to switch readers because your books live in one company's ecosystem, the Page dissolves the problem. Everything reads here.

It also makes a strong phone-replacement argument for evening reading. As we argued in our e-paper digital detox post, a calm screen with your favourite reading apps is the rare device that competes with your phone and wins.

Page or Go 7?

Readers often cross-shop the Page with the Go 7 series, and fairly so: both are 7-inch, 300 ppi readers with page-turn buttons. The Go 7 line is the newer generation with more storage and a colour option, while the Page remains a beautifully balanced package at a friendlier price point. Our Go 7 series introduction covers that side of the family if you want to compare.

Feel the click for yourself

A page-turn button is a tactile thing, and no spec sheet can transmit it. Stop by our Oakville showroom to put your thumb on the Page and judge the click yourself, or order online with free shipping across Canada and 30-day returns on new devices.
