Hi I'm new at the forums but been reading a lot recently. My sister have bought an onyx and we have been able to install a dictionary. the format is stardict:stardictionaries and to install it we simply put the dictionaries in the dict folder of the sd card and the run the update. Two mayor issues: The boox don't recognize html wich is present in the dictionaries; The search is a little bit slow and sometimes the screen keeps refreshing several times.

The great thing is that you can change the dictionary you are using without unselecting the word.

Short workaround. I used Google docs to create a pdf I titled "My Notes" then i moved it to the books. when ever i want to make a note about something i open that and write it down. Im thinking about making another called doodles....

At what price will you be selling the Boox?

Dulin's Books · 11-16-2009, 12:03 PM

Still negotiating actually. Less than the Irex DR 800SG is about all I can say for now

This Boox looks very interesting. If you were buying today would you buy it or consider the Nook or another device....also I cannot find where the Onyx device is sold. Do you know where I can purchase it?

What is it you like about this reader compared to other devices or just what you just like...btw, congrats on the new reader!!

Euble · 12-21-2009, 12:16 AM

I can compare it ony with eClicto reader.
Reading confort is similar but ONYX have much more features. More font sizes, you can use your own font in ttf format, wi-fi, sketch notes, dictionary and better look. I'm using it few days and I had no any problems. I've added other dictionary, tested many files, books, comixes, pictures and it didnt crash.

Dear forum members,

After reading a while, I subscribed myself as a forum member. After a lot of research I bought the Boox. I found out on many websites that its rather expensive (around 400 euro). But I bought it at a Dutch webshop called Librisnova. They sell the Boox for 299 euro. I live in Germany and within 2 days I received my boox. I thought I would let you know this....

Ciao Luke

Be careful because there are two Boox versions: one with Touch and Wifi and other without them.
