1. About ONYX
BOOX is presented by Onyx International Inc., which has a group
of professionals who are dedicated themselves to developing
state-of-the-art reading devices.
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 a 16-level grayscale e-ink screen that looks
and feels like paper. Passive lighting and diffusing surface relaxes
your eyes and reduces eye strain. By the hand-writing system, you
can take notes while reading or draw up ideas that occur to you.
BOOX takes full advantage of new-generation e-ink screens:
extremely low power consumption, no glare. Each full charge can
sustain 7-10 days' reading(8000 pageturns). By reducing paper
consumption while providing a realistic paper-like reading
experience, e-ink eReaders helps to protect the environment
