1. About ONYX

BOOX is presented by Onyx International Inc, 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

www.boox.com

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 brings you a new reading experience.
