So the 10.3’’ will have a Carta screen (better contrast than E-Ink Pearl) and in addition it is Mobius version (like OB MAX only) which is made out of plastic and not glass making it more flexible and secure.
The idea of an E-Ink-Notebook is also absolutely great. They say it will be released in 2018. But at first glance, I wonder about compatibility of apps and programs. I use a reference management program called Citavi and I guess it will not work on it directly which would make for this combination to be unworkable and useless. So may be one will have to use a different reference program. But I also wonder about other reference management software such as EndNote, Refworks, and Zotero with regards to Android. There seem to be alternatives to the standard reference management software for Android. But may be one will have to accept some drawbacks with them:

Generally I would say, if Onyx Boox was on the stock market (is it perhaps in China?), I would buy shares. I believe in their idea and above all in its potential with regards to technological improvement, usability and creation of demand, may be also a bit of a lowering of prices.
It is also a very wise move for them to go further in the direction of 'education', marketing-wise speaking. I would advertise aggressively in secondary education, universities and with professionals but also office work. It is very important to stress the advantages of these devices and to repeat them endlessly and clearly. At the end of the day it is all about sparing eyesight, working on devices without dazzling by sunshine and unparalleled functionality with PDFs. Combined this can improve upon the productivity of students, professionals and office workers. Constrained ability for entertainment purposes makes for lower distraction at work transforming a seeming liability into an asset.
Because of its hq in China the company will have it easier to tap into the markets of the BRICS countries and in wider Asia & South America, but also Africa plus the West anyway. It has the potential to become a truly global company, if it isn't is one already.
Sorry for my ignorance at times, off-topic posting, mistakes, not reading or not being aware of previous posts, not searching enough on the internet myself and sometimes confused thinking. Indeed Onyx Boox devices are really for smart, sophisticated people. In this respect, they need to dumb down usability and marketing while retaining in the message the added value of these devices. They should also limit unfulfilled promises of functionality in product descriptions.
