Cable Question
I just got a Onyx Bookx Nova 2, and was wondering what kind of USB-C cable it uses?
I'd like to leave the original at home, and have a second, shorter cable in my purse, for those times I'm traveling and need to give it a boost. Will just any USB-C cable do? I'd like it to not only charge, but do data, and I'm way behind cable science or specs. |

I bought a very cheap USB-C cable ( less than 3€ ) and it works splendidly with my Onyx Boox Note Pro. So if the cable claims to be able to transfer data, you're safe.

Hi Duskyrose. I was wondering if you installed any reading apps (Kindle, Kobo, Nook) on your Nova2? If so, how are they running?
I have a Nova 2 on order and looking forward to get my hands on it.... |

I see that they're ready to download from the apps section, but haven't played with them yet. I like the internal ebook reader for epub, so I'll be playing with that for a while.

It can't be USB-C to USB-C. Has to be USB-A to USB-C (as the supplied cable).

P.S. Regarding the cable question, there is a handy integrated feature, "Wifi transfer", for transferring files between devices wirelessly. Last edited by Skydog; 07-23-2020 at 09:12 PM. Reason: P.S. |

Thanks for the feedback Skydog.
I understand you can customize the apps so they perform better, but I'll look into Moon+ Reader Pro once my Nova 2 arrives! |

I used to like Aldiko on my android devices, but it's been a long while since I had one to test it on. The one that comes in the app store on the device is just a mess. I keep getting adds interrupting. I've found the wifi, and it loads okay, but it loads into the 'wifi' folder, and I want to go in directly and load books into my own folder. Which is easy to do with the cable I have. I just wanted an extra one for my purse, and one set around 'in case'. I have so many black cables one could easily get lost! |

You cannot buy a USB-C cable just because it is cheap. You have to buy a USB-C cable because it is made according to the specification.
