1- Build quality.
2- The Boyue has an E-Ink Carta while the Onyx has a pearl, but the onyx has a larger display. I can’t decide on that since I haven’t seen any of the screens.
3- Software implementation and speed.
Some side notes:
The Boyue has a 3000 mah battery while the Onyx has a 1700 mah battery.
On taobao (The Chinese eBay), they say that there are some updates to the T68 which fixes the lowest brightness settings (v1.63), fixes the touch (v1.65) and that v1.7 which will be released in April will upgrade the android to v4.4 from v4.0 which is supposed to increase the performance.
I will root the any of those devices once I get it, so the presence of the Google Play out of the box is not an issue.
I like the Kindle Voyage and I will not mind paying the premium price, It looks quite nice and those x-ray, time until chapter end features are quite nice, but I would prefer having an Android based reader.
So which of those devices would you recommend, or would you recommend another device all together or advise me to wait for another device that will be released in the near future. (I currently own a nook, the one without back light).
Thank you.

Onyx has serious quality control problems so I would definitely recommend against the T68. The T68 did have an update that supposedly fixed the touch problems, but it didn't fix mine. The only thing the T68 has is a larger screen, but if the device performs poorly the size is meaningless. The T62 has very good battery use now for me.
