The lag between moving the stylus and the image changing looks to be that of a screen refresh. It doesn't refresh the image after the sketch is done; instead it changes a few pixels at a time as I draw. Very nice. The changes to an image are stored in a separate. I have to say that I'm impressed by the general quality of the image viewer. I think it's good enough that I can use it as a notepad. The only feature it needs is the ability to export a new image. I didn't get a chance to test the MP3 player.
The touch screen is Wacom, which means it's actually behind the Eink screen instead of in front. Cons The touchscreen requires a special stylus. It only has a 4 day battery life. And it's rather expensive. I never did get the Wifi, search, or dictionary to work. Last edited by MikeOnyx; at AM. Manual Onyx Books Originally Posted by Dulin's Books.

The dictionary and the back browser button have been fixed with the latest update. Originally Posted by Jelle Dulin's Books, Would you please help me to find the manual.

Last edited by Dulin's Books; at AM. Your Welcome I've attached the manual here.
You've also given me the opportunity to announce that the Boox 60 reader is available for ordering now on www. I'm really happy to be adding this really very excellent device to my store. Two didn't have a network password, but they did have a log in screen. The Boox choked on the log in screen. The third has WEP security, and the Boox was unable to make a connection.
I've since heard from a couple people that they had no trouble with the Wifi, so the problem could be me. I reported the problems some time before I wrote the review. When I installed the update 1. When I changed it back to the 1. This is a problem especially with Epub books with DRM. How is it possible? Does somebody have a solution? You have to re-authorize teh device with ADE. They really need to fix this Jack- Its the lowest price guaranteed shipping I could find and unfortunately prices will probably rise next year next week!
For defects we will replace the unit. You would have to pay to ship it back but we would pay to return the new unit to you.
The 6 inch screen really does a good job of handling most everything- even technical PDFs. The PDF viewer in the Onyx is exceptional, zoom and reflow, the selection zoom. I personally think its at least the equal of Foxit's. Originally Posted by tovadet. Question about the Locale settings.
Hi, Unfortunately, some ebooks have been available to be opened due to the update if the books were on the device during he update. I recommend you backup your ebooks and reformat the Boox. Then recopy the ebooks back onto the eReader.
Hopefully, the note annotations makes up for it. I find myself at times sitting there for a long time just drawing random things on the Boox. Also, if the pen seems to be off, especially around the edges, be sure to calibrate it under Menu.
Wacom screens utilize a sensor board that detects the stylus's movement using electromagnetic technology. The sensor board is placed behind the E Ink screen so as not to affect the clarity of the text like other touchscreens that place a layer over the top of the epaper. The only downside with these particular screens is that you must use the stylus for the sensor board to detect input; nothing else will work. The Boox has decent PDF functions as far as 6-inch readers go.
It can zoom in, crop margins, has active hyperlinks, pdf reflow, landscape mode, and can run text searches, annotate, draw, etc. You can find these websites listed on our ebooks page. And for free ebooks you can visit our free ebooks page for a comprehensive listing of websites that offer formats compatible with this particular ebook reader.
Privacy Policy - Disclaimer. Back when each device read a different format I could discuss in what way one is better than another.
There were valid apples to oranges comparisons I could make. At the very least, I can say that its ability to display Epub is as good as the Cybook Opus. Right now, the only options I have are the font size, bold, italics, and font choice. It doesn't have options like line and paragraph spacing, margins, and indentation. For the most part, I don't care. FBReader is quite usable in its current state. A standard 8. The Boox shows 5 font levels Onyx is going to change the menu labels.
What it actually has is a zoom mode and a reflow mode. The zoom mode is impressive. While in the zoom mode I can also sketch on the PDF with the same options the image viewer. The Boox can reflow a PDF at 4 different font sizes. It's very good, so good that I dug out some of my more complicated PDFs and gave it a stress test. The PDFs I used were technical papers with graphs, equations, and multiple columns.
The text displayed fine, but the graphs and equations were dropped. I'm not entirely convinced that this is the fault of the Boox. They do not appear to be in the PDF as text or as separate images. Rather, they appear to be part of a page image. User defined settings font size, screen flash, etc are not set on the device level. They're set for each ebook. Even setting it by format would be bad because PDFs alone vary too much.
I picked the Opus over my original Kindle because I had thought the Opus had 8 level gray scale. I'm wrong; it's actually four. The Boox has 8 level, so the fact that the images look better on it was a foregone conclusion. But it's worth noting that the Boox is noticeably faster at refreshing the screen.
You would think that it's at a disadvantage it has more gray scale levels, and yet it's faster. The Boox has surprisingly good sketching ability.
I can also erase a sketch by simply touching part of it with the stylus while in the eraser mode. The lag between moving the stylus and the image changing looks to be that of a screen refresh. It doesn't refresh the image after the sketch is done; instead it changes a few pixels at a time as I draw. Very nice. The changes to an image are stored in a separate. I have to say that I'm impressed by the general quality of the image viewer.

Cons The touchscreen requires a special stylus. It only has a 4 day battery life. And it's rather expensive. I never did get the Wifi, search, or dictionary to work. Thanks for the review! The device sounds intriguing, but horrible from a quality control point of view. I would have liked more information about the comparative pricing of the book service supported by the Onyx.
So my question would be, are books generally the same price, higher or lower than for Amazon. I know that's a difficult question to answer, in that some services might try to make a big deal about books out of copyright protection -- but I'm not counting those books, presuming that Project Gutenberg is available for me, somehow, on all readers. Thanks again for the review!
