1 Preface

Boox, presented by Onyx International, 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 conten

providers.

Boox is powered by an 8-level grayscale e-ink screen that looks and feels like paper.

Passive lighting and diffuse surface relaxes your eyes and reduces eye strain. The

hand-writing system lets you take notes while reading and sketch up ideas that happen to

emerge. Boox takes full advantage of new-generation e-ink screens: extremely low powe

consumption. Each full charge can sustain a few weeks' reading. By reducing pape

consumption while providing a realistic paper-like reading experience, digital conten

helps to protect the environment without sacrificing convenience or life style.

Boox comes with viewers for most popular ebook and image formats, including PDF,

HTML, CHM, EPub, TXT, and MobiPocket(NON-DRM). For content partners, we also

provide support for custom formats and digital rights management solutions. All of ou

viewers have standard features such as layout management, font adjustment, full tex

search, zooming, and page flow.

For a next-generation information device, connectivity is essential. The user can connec

to the Internet with build-in WiFi or other add-on modules to download new content or jus

surf the web. The web browser on Boox uses WebKit, the same software engine tha

powers desktop browsers such as Safari and Chrome, customized for the e-ink screen.

Boox, the new reading experience.
