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.
