A 6.8 inch e-ink reader running open Android 4.0 would be awesome. This is now on my wish list, as long as I can actually import it into the UK.

A very interesting e-reader.
If it supports installing any reading app, it will be a very worthy buy. The problem is the minimun required. 1000 units with a cost of 145$ each |

Interesting, yes.
Aura HD-like Android based if well made (no bugs).... Last edited by Manolo; 11-01-2013 at 04:50 AM. |

An obvious symptom of the arrival of new readers Onyx, is the major cuts made by the Spanish distributor of a clone of Firefly (99.90 €) http://www.casadellibro.com/Ereader-...readerTagusLux
Unless some private developer to provide us an alternative firmware, I think we may terminate Onyx official support to Firefly.... A greeting. - |

Hey guys, your thread got me to register, since I'm quite interested in the onyx Boox T68. It seems like the perfect blend between an android tablet and an e-reader!
zeng, from what I understood, they need a retailer that's ready to buy at least 1000 of their devices to start production, so you must know of one that placed an order then? Otherwise, we could still try to launch a kickstarter to gather enough people for them to star production Besides that, what have you heard of their e-ink smartphone the Onyx Boox E43? I saw PCmag did a hads-on but it's not very conclusive... http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow_viewe...23&po=1,00.asp |

Hi zeng! the first picture in onyx webpage ( http://www.onyx-international.com.cn/ ) looks like the t68! Now that we are already in Q1 of 2014 do you have any new info about the release date or any other kind of info to make the waiting less hard??
Thanks in advance |
