return

Had to return the unit, since i am on the road again (www.ctjansen.nl) and have no means of getting my problems solved on the road. With akward controls I ment, it is slugish and slow, using the pen to 'click' on a link does not always work. I had to push many times before something happened. Perhaps i was just impatient since it is not a full browser. But via google I could go anywhere i wanted on the net... so..i am back to |

I appreciate the detailed review. In response to some details of your review, there has been a few software updates. 1. There were some fixes that now have increased battery life. 2. Wifi - Were you using an encrypted wifi connection? If so, did you put the passphrase or the hexadecimal password? 3. Browser - We will be coming out with full browser mode soon with a place where you can type in the web address. However currently, your intuition is correct, you can still go to any website you want currently by searching through google. You can also download anything such as an ebook and it will show up in the download folder of the SD Card selection on the main menu. 4. The dictionary and the back browser button have been fixed with the latest update. 5. Onyx Boox is 8 level gray scale. It is upgradeable to 16 levels in a later software update. 6. Currently it is rather expensive, but only in the sense that the price is matching Sony and the Kindle comparable eReaders. It is the goal of Onyx to be cheaper. The keyword when it comes to Onyx Boox is flexible. It is based on the Linux operating system, which makes it extremely stable. In a way, it's like a mini computer in what you can make it do. The starting menu is just that, the "starting" menu. Onyx will be keeping some open source in which third parties can create their own applications to part of the "starting" menu. Thanks again for the review. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me at MikeHu@onyx-international.com. At Onyx, we are always open to suggestions to make our eReader the best it can be. You may go to our website at www.onyx-international.com to post any suggestions. Most of the forum is written in Chinese so if you're having trouble, do not hesitate to email me and I will pass the suggestion to our development team. Thanks again. -- Mike Hu US Sales Manager Skype: mikeQMH mikehu@onyx-international.com CES Expo Booth No: 12042 Last edited by MikeOnyx; 12-24-2009 at 08:42 AM. |

I've since heard from a couple people that they had no trouble with the Wifi, so the problem could be me. 4, I know. I reported the problems some time before I wrote the review. |

Try updating to version 1.2. It has fixed some issues and now also allows Note Annotations. Just go to www.onyx-international.com, support, and then download it. Directions to update. Unzip the file and put all contents in the root directory of an SD card. Insert the SD card into the Boox and restart holding down the on/off button and the OK button at the same time. Hold until it says updating on the bottom of the screen. -- Mike Hu US Sales Manager Skype: mikeQMH mikehu@onyx-international.com CES Expo booth No: 12042 |

Update 1.2
When I installed the update 1.2, I couldn't read my books anymore. When I changed it back to the 1.1 update I had no problems reading.
This is a problem especially with Epub books with DRM. How is it possible? Does somebody have a solution? |

I like all the features of the Boox 60 bar the 6inch screen, there was a mention of larger devices on the onyx site a number of months ago, any sign of that? |

tovadet- ADE sees each new firmaware as a new device. You have to re-authorize teh device with ADE.
They really need to fix this.... Jack- Its the lowest price guaranteed shipping I could find and unfortunately prices will probably rise next year(next week!) For defects we will replace the unit. You would have to pay to ship it back but we would pay to return the new unit to you. The 6 inch screen really does a good job of handling most everything- even technical PDFs. The PDF viewer in the Onyx is exceptional, zoom and reflow, the selection zoom. I personally think its at least the equal of Foxit's. |

Unfortunately, some ebooks have been available to be opened due to the update if the books were on the device during he update. I recommend you backup your ebooks and reformat the Boox. Then recopy the ebooks back onto the eReader. Hopefully, the note annotations makes up for it. I find myself at times sitting there for a long time just drawing random things on the Boox. Also, if the pen seems to be off, especially around the edges, be sure to calibrate it under Menu. -- Mike Hu US Sales Manager Skype: mikeQMH mikehu@onyx-international.com CES Expo booth No: 12042 |

Question about the Locale settings

A little question off topic: Under Locale I selected the language "Netherlands" (Dutch) but the text stayed in English. Am I doing something wrong? thanx |

Onyx is planning to release many new versions of the Boox including a 10" and a 8" within the first or second quarters of 2010. Onyx is also coming out with a 5" version with features closer to the popular Sony 600 and the Kindle to compete with them except with a lower price. -- Mike Hu US Sales Manager Skype: mikeQMH mikehu@onyx-international.com CES Expo booth No: 12042 |
