Onyx Boox eReader on eBay 1 comment
Someone is selling the Onyx Boox ereader on for $349.
At CES I got to spend a few minutes checking out the Boox ereader. The first thing that I noticed when I picked one up at the Onyx booth was that it seemed to be very well and solidly built. This was apparently more than just a figment of my overactive imagination. Onyx chairman Kim was at the Onyx booth, and when she saw me pick up one of her company’s ereaders the first thing she proudly asked me is if I had noticed the quality of the build. Interesting.
And curiously refreshing.
Chairman Kim went on to tell me that the Boox is just the first of a planned line
of ereaders that Onyx has in the works. They are working on a larger format ereader, and have plans for a color ereader as well. I also learned that Onyx is not exactly new in the ereader arena. Chairman Kim told me that many of the top ebook readers (yes, she mentioned that one) have bits of Onyx built code running inside them.
If you have your own ideas about which features would make the perfect ereader, Chairman Kim also told me that her company can help you to design, build and bring it to market.
In a recent post I did about the Boox, I speculated that it would be a good ereader for working with PDF files. Unfortunately, the ereader demos at CES don’t come loaded with PDF’s full of graphs, charts and formulae for me to test, but I didn’t see anything that would contradict my theory.
All in all I came away with a favorable impression of the Boox ereader and of the people behind it. If you are in the market for an ADE compatible ereader you could do worse.
