Where does one purchase an Onyx if you are in Australia and how much would the cost be?

Cheers and thanks

Let's hope so!

No we ship the goods within Europe for the standard send costs of 14 euro. And also outside europe, but then the costs will be some higher. (Then please send an email). For the Dutch and the German market the shipcosts are lower.

I've read that the boox has a lot of software bugs (dictionaries, note taking and other stuff often don't work)...is it true?

And so the global cost for a boox shipped to italy would be 299+14 = 313 €....is it right?

Yes, the price will be 313 euro. For the dictionary: you have to install it yourself and it will work okay. There is just a new firmware update which fixed some bugs and made some other functions work.

For other questions you can also send me a mail.

Ciao

I have 2 questions about the ereader (and so i think it's better asking here):

- how can you update the firmware? (probably it's a very stupid question but i haven't ever had a ereader)

- how can you load a dictionary? is there a specific software-format?

Thank you

Dulin's Books · 01-05-2010, 03:24 PM

You can update the software by follow steps:
1 Download the latest updates package from Onyx website: www.onyx-international.com
2 Save the updates package in a SD card.
3 Make sure the updates package is located at the root directory of the SD card. The name should be ‘onyx_update.upd’.
4 Insert the SD card into Boox.
5 Restart Boox, press and hold the OK button. NOTE, the OK button should be pressed before the device restarts. Hold it until you see the message ‘Software update request detected, checking updates…’.
6 Boox updates itself automatically. It restarts after update finishes.

Reminder: Make sure Boox has enough power to finish the software update (at least 2 grids displayed).

1. The dictionary and firmware update manual will be delivered in the package of delivery. So when you got your order you will also get the instructions how to install the dictionary and the firmware update.

1 question again (what a pain i am):

in the comparison matrix there's written that the boox has 8 level resolution and no text-to-speach but in some video they told that it has 16 level and the text-to-speach function...who's right?

Dulin's Books · 01-05-2010, 08:09 PM

its 8 currently but the display is capable of 16. 16 will be returning in a future update. Text To Speech will be returning in version 1.5 of the firmware.

I am interested in Boox but even after reviewing videos and forum posts, am unsure about notetaking functions. I want to use Boox for notetaking. I see that existing docs can be marked on/marked up, but please tell me if a new document can be created on the device and sketches or notes saved there? What document and/or image formats can this be done in?

Also interested in current status of wireless connectivity beyond WiFi.
