The Boyue Likebook Mars is a great choice for those looking for an Android e-reader with plenty of features. It has a 7.8” screen, runs on Android 8.1, and has both an audio port and a micro SD card slot for expandable storage. It also supports third-party dictionaries and languages, as well as built-in Chinese experience. Additionally, it can be used with Moonreader to auto scroll while rocking a baby in their crib. On the downside, it does not have physical buttons or waterproofing like some other models do.

. I am thinking of replacing my Likebook Mars with a better performing e-reader. The Likebook has been my first reader and I think I can make a step to a better (or more expensive) product. My biggest complaint with the Boyue e-reader is that the software is quite slow and feels "clumsy" when navigating menus (even with A2 mode) or turning pages, and a bit of ghosting.

Looking to upgrade from a Paperwhite 3 Manga Edition

Take a look into the Boyue Likebook Mars or its newer version, the P78. They do run android, but if you turn it on airplane mode as you’re reading, should help battery life. 7.8” devices.

Best ereader for reading Chinese with a decent dictionary?

Most of those really good china brand android ereaders have a lot of support for 3rd party dictionary and languages and fonts. My favourite is surely Likebook. The Likebook Mars is great and there are a ton of free open source dictionaries you can add, any language you want, plus it has built in Chinese experience, Wich is a plus for you.

Reducing my lot and need help, any good e-readers that can survive it all and hold a lot

You could go for older Kobos as well for access to MicroSD card slots. At 7.8” (the next size down in screens), you have the Likebook Mars/P78 (MicroSD slot, OTG, USB-C); Kobo Forma (buttons, waterproof, good battery life); Pocketbook Inkpad 3 (good battery life, expandable storage, physical buttons), Pocketbook Inkpad 3 Pro (good battery life, physical buttons, waterproof); Boox Nova 3 (expandable storage, USB-C).

New to e-readers, suggestions for non-Kindle ereaders?

I’m currently using a Likebook Mars Android eink tablet. It’s been updated to Android 8.1 so it is much better than when it first came out. It’s tough to look at old reviews because they weren’t that great compared to the Boox Nova 3. With the update the difference is night and day.

E-Reader without a browser

When I use a browser on my Likebook Mars, the main thing I use it for is to read articles on the web. If you're going to be reading PDFs, then I would recommend a larger model, such as the Likebook Alita, the Onyx Boox Note, or the Onyx Boox Max.
