To be honest I am not really very happy and optimistic with this new model - it is very hard to achieve good sales by this very special devices. High prices could be a reason for losing interest to that model, decreased sales and possibly death of the company. 
Onyx is already almost fighting for surviving - it is hard to compete with syndicates like Amazon, Kobo or BN.
Small productions means high prices. High prices lead to low sales. Low sales - means not enough money for additional experiments with alternative reading devices. Vicious circle. |
It seems to be a good choice for Onyx to focus on the combination of "content-consuming" and the excellent hardware,just like the sales patterns of Amazon,which extended its market in mainland China with KPW just now.
That means one can keep R&D and provide excellent service for customers on both software and hardware,with the cash flow from the "intrinsic" benefit(online bookstore).
