That's an ePub issue versus a reader issue. The best work around is to format the book with a slightly wider margin so that you don't have page number and letters fighting for the same screen real estate. |

Is it possible not to include page numbers in the epub files? The page number information is already included in Boox's toolbar at the bottom anyways.
Thanks |

[QUOTE=luag;736808]Finally! After years following the e-readers technology. I finally decided that Boox is going to be my first e-reader. Not that I haven't tried to buy one before, but it's difficult to obtain in Indonesia, and it's finally available here.QUOTE]
Where did you get it from in Indonesia and what was the cost? I live in KL and I get to Jakarta at least a few times a year; it would be nice to avoid the usual import duties etc. for once. |

My wife would like to know if you can search for recipes on the Internet and then have them on the reader while she is cooking. I suppose it is possible but is it usable? I am interested myself also but I usually don't follow recipes to the letter. So for me it is less important.

Did you guys see my video Interview with the Onyx team at CES? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70046
They talk about features in the possible firmware updates. |

Hey Mike, would you like to tell us who the three people are in the video?
I think that your product looks great, and you seem to have connectivity and the touch screen well integrated already at this point. I look forward to see how well you manage all the features, such as the RSS reader and I would like to suggest you a killer application that I think will probably make e-ink readers a huge success: - Synchronize them wirelesly with Android devices such as phones and tablets and synchronize them with Laptop web browsers through extensions. For example: - I want to click one button when browsing the web on my Android tablet/phone or Chrome Laptop and have the articles automatically added to my e-ink device reading queue wirelesly. If possible by some kind of push mechanism, otherwise just some kind of quick synchronization when in synchronization mode. Then I also want one-click synchronization back from the wacom based e-reader to my laptop. For example: - 5 people collaborate on editing a text. They can read it and annotate it all collaboratively in real-time. So I think you need to integrate the annotations into Google Wave and Google Sidewiki (some future version of Sidewiki to integrate overlay .png file annotations?). Also, you select some text using the wacom, that selected text should then be highlighted when editing the same text on the laptop. Usefuly case scenario: You read some articles, any text, you quickly select interesting parts that you either want to comment on later or that you want to change or that you want to quote. So definitely it might not be easy, but a Google Wave robot or extension which synchronizes text markings or even annotations (also eventually using online based handwriting recognition service or shortcuts scribble service that I think Google should offer soon). If you can make this work, I think all students, all professionals and everyone who enjoys reading and commenting and editing texts will want to buy this type of solution. |

If this beauty had a decent DJVU reader (like Tigran's) which could handle 5-10 MB file sizes, I would be a definite buyer. Lord, I love that Wacom display!

Hey, Funny thing is we have a few content providers saying they want something similar to it. I cannot say who they are at the moment, but the idea is pretty similar. However, your idea seem to use the same concept but use it for shared note taking. That's quite smart. I do appreciate the suggestion, please keep them coming. |

Also, the people in the video. The first girl (younger girl) is Qing, she's with the company part time, and she goes to school in New York. The second woman is Kim, she is the chairman of Onyx International. The guy is Hong, he is the CTO of the company. Hope that helps.
