Hi there,

I was thinking about upgrading from my current Onyx N96ML and almost decided about BOOX Note but then it turned out it has no front light, bummer!

Do you know if there is any Onyx device with the following spec, they are all must haves:

* ~10"
* front light
* pen
* no glass

The Note Pro has a front light but it has a glass-based screen. It is quiet weired that Onyx Boox has not launched such kind of product yet.

You can't have light and no glass. It was mentioned thousand times here.

Why wouldn’t you want a glass screen?

I suppose I need to clarify things a little. You have the backplane which can be glass or plastic, you have the eink layer that may be supplied with either type of the backplane, and now you also may have a flush screen that I believe has glass top layer (I doubt it's sapphire or diamond ) that makes the screens scratch proof.

My N96 comes with glass backplane and plastic top layer. I would rather go glass free and have something lighter and less fragile but as fgdas said no such thing exists if you want light as well, which I do. So this has to be glass but I don't need the glass top layer.

BOOX Note Pro has that glass top layer and comes with light. Light is an absolute must, I guess I could sacrifice the no glass requirement to get light. Are they the only options I have then, either the new (expensive, €600) BOOX Note Pro or my old N96ML (€400 when I bought it)?

I am not sure but it could be that the glass is required for the Onyx Boox Note Pro because unlike N96ML which has light and pen touch only, the Note pro has three: light, pen touch, and capacitive touch. Remember that N96 has three different variant: N96 (no light, but pen and capacitive touch), N96ML (light and pen touch), and N96C (light and capacitive touch).
