    Verdict

    The Onyx Boox i62ML Angel Glow is a portable 6-inch e-reader featuring an E Ink Pearl HD infrared touchscreen with a 1024×758 resolution (212 ppi) and 16 levels of grey scale. It is powered by an 800 MHz Cortex A8 CPU, 128MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot. Its standout characteristic is the 'Moon Light' integrated front-light technology for reading in low-light conditions, alongside built-in Wi-Fi and support for over 30 file formats including PDF, EPUB, and MOBI. Main pros include its versatile format support, physical page-turn buttons, and the presence of a 3.5mm audio jack for text-to-speech or music. However, notable cons include its relatively high weight of 238g for its size, a front-light that some users find splotchy or uneven, and a fragile screen that may be prone to damage from impacts.
