1 Preface

oox is presented by Onyx International, which has a group of professionals

who dedicate themselves in designing state-of-the-art reading terminal.

The beauty of the Boox is embodied in both its simplicity and its power. As we

are going to show you, Boox is an open and flexible platform for both consumers and

content providers.

Boox is powered by an 8-level grayscale e-ink screen that looks and feels like paper.

Passive lighting and diffuse surface relaxes your eyes and reduces eye strain. By the

hand-writing system, you can take notes while reading and sketch up ideas that happen to

emerge. Boox takes full advantage of new-generation e-ink screens: extremely low power

consumption. Each full charge can sustain a few weeks' reading. By reducing paper

consumption while providing a realistic paper-like reading experience, digital content helps

to protect the environment without sacrificing convenience or life style.

Boox comes with viewers for most popular ebook and image formats, including PDF,

HTML, CHM, ePub, TXT, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX and

MobiPocket(NON-DRM). For content partners, we also provide support for custom formats

and digital rights management solutions. All of our viewers have standard features such as

layout management, font adjustment, full text search, zooming, and page flow.

For a next-generation information device, connectivity is essential. The user can connect to

the Internet by build-in WiFi, 3G module or other add-on modules to download new content

or surf the web. Customized for the e-ink screen, WebKit, the same software engine as some

powerful desktop browsers such as Safari and Chrome, is the web browser of Boox.

Boox, the new reading experience.
