I haven't seen Onyx International mentioning what has changed when they upgraded their current ereaders from e.g. Carta2 to Carta2+. However the Russian distributor shares some information as they market the "+" models as brand new devices. Regal was considered a part of the Carta technology before. However it turned out that Regal had been developer and worked only for the Freescale platform. Onyx International has come long way in trying to make something similar for their Rockchip platform. Now you can find the "Snow Field" option in Neo Reader 2 and in OReader application - but only for the new models with "Carta+" sticker on the packaging (pic). With this option there's no need for full screen refresh any more - as there's no ghosting in these two reading apps.

TBH I have no idea what naming policy will be used in the American market and if the devices being sold now have Snow Field support...

As for the official forum, it is available only in Russian afaik: http://onyx-boox.ru/board/

Addendum:
BTW the translation in the quote of Onyx Russia is not very accurate:
instead of "Nobody uses it anymore" it should read "nobody else uses it" i.e. no other company has the right to use the Snow Field brand name.
