News for E-Ink fans

Onyx Boox will be introducing some new devices this year, including eReaders with a 6 in. and a 7.8 in. display, all with upgraded hardware and all running Android 6.0. The 6 in. device is called the Poke and the 7.8 the Nova.  I don't know about pricing just yet. The Nova should be better for Logos/Verbum than the Poke, I would think.  

Thanks to my IRS refund, I have invested in an Onyx Boox Note. 10.3 in, display, quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB of internal storage. 227 dpi display.  Android 6.0. Very lightweight, comes with WACOM stylus. Fits in right between the iPad and iPad Pro in terms of size. Has Bluetooth and even speakers. Has Google Play Store installed. Great for pdf viewing. You can annotate pdfs as well.  Haven't had it long enough to gauge battery life, but it seems on par with similar Android E-Ink devices. Closest thing to an true E-Ink tablet I've seen. I haven't hit any bugs yet, though a few users report some. 

Best of all, it runs Verbum MUCH better than any E-Ink device I have ever used. And - you can run the current Logos/Verbum app. Every feature and every menu looks fine in E-Ink. There are still slight delays in page turning. 

It does not have an sd card slot, nor a frontlight. Contrast is good enough to view in a well-lit room, or outside. It's also not cheap - about $550 US - and not easy to get now because demand is outstripping supply so far. It should be available on Amazon soon.  I've had it only a few days. Based on what I've seen so far, though, the Note looks like an ideal device to run Logos/Verbum for E-Ink loving eyes.
