I just posted something on this ancient treat:

"eink reader -- external keyboard?"
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=162975

Which I copy here:

"Writing on the e-ink Kepler Tablet from Onyx with BT Keyboard"

"Writing on the e-ink Kepler Tablet from Onyx with BT Keyboard using the Texteditor app."

Seems a bit of a hassle. It would be much easier if Onyx would bring out a plug and play keyboard.

Onyx let me know some time ago:

"Sorry, after analysis, we are not going to released BOOX Writer, cause now our device could connected with a bluetooth keyboard to be a typewriter."

So I just asked them if it might be a good idea for Onyx to make a keyboard for their latest e-readers...

I would prefer a USB connection, but don't know if that would work on their latest models, nor even whether they have USBs.

I don't know much about these things, but am still enjoying my white M92 I bought from Booxtor not long after it came out. I even used it once in those days to post on this forum to prove it could be done. But it required a lot a patience...
I suppose that one might be too slow to work easily with an external keyboard even if it was possible at all.
