The name "inkBOOK" is, of course, Arta Tech's name for the device. I don't know what Onyx calls it!
The webpage (minimally) refers to it as the "inkBOOK Onyx", however this may be a typo (the subordinate instructed to enter the device details into the website mistakenly thought that it was an Onyx). Certainly the layout of the specs do not seem to match those of the couple of known-Onyx products (M92 & i62HD) from that site that I compared it to -- suggesting that they came from a different source (i.e. a different manufacturer).

As can be seen from the forum pics, "inkBOOK" is the branding on the device -- no "Onyx" or "Boox" to be seen. Yes, it is possible that it is re-branded Onyx (though it makes little sense to go to the trouble of rebranding it, and then still call it an "Onyx" on their website -- further suggesting that this was a typo), but both the button-layout and the icons on them exactly match Boyue standard layout (and are dissimilar to O-B designs) -- and Boyue fairly frequently do rebranded products.

I am therefore fairly confident that this is a Boyle-manufactured, not an Onyx-manufactured, device.
