Ha!Rumours say Apple might have bought ONYX to re-brand the Onyx max into Apple max pro(New two screen ipad pro and e-reader!).Apple will present it in its mid-March annual meeting!No wonder Booxter is vanished.Apple head-quarter staff threatened him,most probably!

Booxter added 13.3 inch section in his webstore without extra information or price tag.Also,it seems that he has no Onyx eight inch plus ereader anymore.

You can find the 8 inch ebook here:

I discovered this store in europe today. I was glad to see two stores selling onyx products in Europe but the page is not in english and also I do not know if they send to the whole Europe.
I have just send them an email asking for N96ML and 13.3 model which are not listed. But the catalog of onyx is quite complete.

Hmmm. It looked like there was a lot of activity in Russia regarding the eight inch models. Maybe the production run sold out?

I would like to see the demand high enough for Onyx to make an eight inch Carta Screened model. I would come up with the money somehow.

I have just received my i86. I have to agree that it seems very nice. I have updated software to v.1.7.4 and I have the following issues.

1) I can't find the system-wide contrast/other controls that you mention. I have looked in Home/Settings and Application/Settings.

2) Do you have any idea what the icon at the top right that toggles between [+ -] and [< >] is?

[MarjaE]

Will it be accessible for people who can't use either type of touch?

I have proprioceptive issues, so I can't avoid accidental tapping, or avoid accidental gestures, or use most styli...

And for users who get migraines after getting hit with zoom animations?

[HarryT]

No, it's a device with a touch interface. Plainly not suited for you.

Well, Eink does not support "individuals" and as such refused
to provide datasheets, reference designs but interestingly their email suggested a development kit using Epson controller for 13.3" screens exist.
Thats news since I.mx7 Freescale CPU SoC is the only new publicly available product with EPD support. Either a new EPSON EPD chip has been produced in secret(which should be shameful if true) or the dev kit is old...years old stuff from when EPSON left the epaper market 2012/2013.


Having said all that I managed to obtain datasheets(not from eink itself)
ES133TT2 13.3" 2200x1650
ES133TE1 13.3" TBD
Panel price is 650EUR ...or so I was told to begin formal negotiations.

To drive the panel obviously (Linux, Android ...etc) the datasheet is helpful
in conjunction with i.mx7 duo Freescale documentation for making the software driver.
Another approach is to check the Boox Max when it comes out - software and hardware can provide useful clues for DIY Project purposes.

I would be interested to hear how to drive these epaper displays in DIY project too.

First time I hear of oedtech and O-Paper. What I found most striking is their O-Paper claims 16 grayscale colours with 250ms response/screen update time. Thats close to x2 faster than the newest Eink 13.3" panel at 450ms(likely used by Boox Max).
Expectations follow that a faster O-Paper would offer a better much more responsive dynamic content experience - pan/pinch/zoom ,draw, note

Glad to share datasheets , feel free to PM me.

Hi guys,
I am sorry being quiet last days - we had severe flu in my big family (I have 5 kids) in last couple of weeks. I was just unable to work. I just took some days free to recover myself.

Concerning Onyx Max, everything is almost on schedule. It is already on production schedule. Estimated availability will be rather in April, though. I am speaking of my experience with new models by Onyx. There always have been a couple of weeks of delay. Please don't be too resentful.

We are going to open pre-orders for Max during this weekend. Actually we already did it for N96 series. Max is coming
