Onyx is as Chinese as it gets. But they have resellers in Europe, Russia and US who apparently are allowed to use the Onyx company name. Anyway, so far Onyx has been very serious about producing high quality readers with rich firmware. Their first reader, the Boox 60, has been on the market for almost 2 years now, and they have constantly listened to customers and improved firmware. Based on this track record I'm pretty confident that the 90-series will soon be the best large E ink readers on the market (if they're not already).
And as to being unknown, that's relative indeed - they claim to be number 2 on the Russian e-reader market (after PocketBook), and rebranded as BeBook they are among the market leaders in The Netherlands and perhaps some other countries.
