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 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

www.onyx-international.com

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,

or other add-on modules to download new content or surf the

web. Customized for the e-ink screen, WebKit engine, the same

software engine as some desktop browsers such as Safari and

Chrome, is the web browser of BOOX.

BOOX gives you a new reading experience.
