1. About ONYX
BOOX is presented by Onyx International, which has a group of professionals who dedicate themselves in designing state-of-the-art reading terminal. The beauty of the BOOX is embodied in both its simplicity and its power. As we are going to show you, BOOX is an open and flexible platform for both consumers and content providers. BOOX is powered by a 16-level grayscale e-ink screen that looks and feels like paper. Passive lighting and diffuse surface relax your eyes and reduce eye strain. By the hand-writing system, you can take notes while reading and sketch up ideas that happen to emerge. BOOX takes full advantage of new-generation e-ink screens: extremely low power consumption without reflection and backlight. Each full charge can sustain a few weeks’ reading. By reducing paper consumption while providing a realistic paper-like reading experience, digital content helps to protect the environment without sacrificing convenience or lifestyle. For content partners, we also provide support for custom formats and digital rights management solutions. All of our viewers have standard features such as layout management, font adjustment, full-text-search,

zooming, and page flow. For a next-generation information device, connectivity is essential. The user can connect to the Internet by built-in Wi-Fi, 3G module or other add-on modules to download new content or surf the web. Customized for the e-ink screen, WebKit, the same software engine as some powerful desktop browsers such as Safari and Chrome, is the web browser of BOOX. BOOX gives you a new reading experience.
