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.

www.onyx-international.com

By reducing paper consumption while providing a realistic

paper-like reading experience, digital content helps to protect the

environment without sacrificing convenience or life style.

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 build-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.
