Who Has Icarus Excel?

zarei · 12-24-2014, 08:11 AM

What's you idea about Excel 9.7 inch? What are advantages and cons?
I saw from internet surfing that it has delicate screen.
Some one said in amazon: "The screen didn't break as the result of a fall, it just stopped working as I was sitting in the bus reading an ebook on it. Maybe the repeated pressure of me touching the screen with the stylus was too much or something."
Is it realy?
I'm from Iran and if i buy Icarus i mast pay a lot of money.
Thanks in advance for your reply

I've never heard of it. It is not one the well-known brands.

We don't have choices for 9.7 inch e-ink reader with touch screen.
That siza is similar to A4 paper and stylus is needed for our annotation. Do you dislike it?
But i don't know why famous brands wouldn't like to proffer which redear spec that i interst.

Some have said it is an Boox M92. The Icarus Illumina and Boyue T61 (wiki links) share the same hardware at least. They are all Chinese devices.

That's a bit confusing. The Icarus Excel is indeed a rebranded Onyx Boox M92, and the Illumina is a rebranded Boyue, but Onyx and Boyue are different companies, and so the hardware of the Excel and the Illumina have nothing common except that they are made in China.

Yes, that is the point. Icarus uses hardware made by others but not always the same.

Why famous brand don't present 9.7 inch touch screen?

Because they don't sell very well.

For a 9.7" screen Reader, the prices are high and more people prefer to get a tablet with a similar screen size.
