Like many people, you’re probably either exhausting your Netflix queue, spending too much time on social media, or trying your hand at becoming a TikTok star. Need something else to keep you entertained?

Enter: BOOX Poke Pro. Boasting brand new front-light technology, this six-inch e-reader features two light hues that can be adjusted to the level where your eyes feel most comfortable. Think night mode on your smartphone, but so much better.

This baby has 300ppi resolution and displays sharper and darker text with outstanding background contrast, so you don’t have to squint when your novel gets extra juicy.
