Das aber nervt, wenn sie mehrere Stunden lesen. – Die Knöpfe sind zu hart und laut klicken. – Fingerabdrucke sind eine reine Katastrophe!!! Auf dem Plastik und auf dem Bilddschirm. – Irgendwie schon zu klein, man will bischen größer, aber das alles individuell. At the least that is a sign that the more nimble Boyue is out-competing Onyx, and that is good for consumers. I can’t say whether Arta Tech shares my frustrations but we do see that they have a new partner. The i86 8″ model, which is due to arrive this week, was delayed for nearly a year and finally shipped with outdated specs (a single-core CPU, rather than dual-core). They even found a download link for the Boyue firmware running on it.Ĭlearly Arta Tech has a new hardware partner. This blogger finds that detail newsworthy because I have been growing increasingly frustrated with Onyx repeatedly delaying the launch of their next devices. Over at MobileRead this device has been identified as the Boyue T61D. Update: And I’m not the only one to make the connection. In fact, the Inkbook looks like a clone of the T61, only with upgraded electronics. It doesn’t quite have the same specs (no audio, for example) but the similarities are to great for this too be a coincidence. The Inkbook Onyx shares the same design and even the same screen contents as Boyue’s other ereaders like the T62+ (aka the Energy Sistem Pro+ eReader), including the button placement (even the case is identical). No, in spite of the misleading name the Inkbook Onyx is actually made by Boyue. For more details, check out the Arta Tech website.Īndroid ereaders are a dime a dozen these days, but this one caught my eye because this one clearly isn’t made by Onyx, Arta Tech’s long term hardware partner. The Inkbook Onyx retails for about 100 euros plus VAT, and it was available early this month. ![]() There’s also no mention of Google Play, which means you might have to put in extra effort to load Android apps. But on the plus side, you can install Android apps, and the Inkbook Onyx ships with a very adequate reading app, web browser, and a suite of cloud services from Arta Tech. It has 8GB internal storage, a microSD card slot, and Wifi, but there’s no mention in the listing of audio support or Bluetooth. It runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on a dual-core 1GHz CPU with 512MB RAM. The Inkbook Onyx sports a 6″ Carta E-ink screen (1024 x 758 resolution) with frontlight and capacitive touchscreen. They’re announcing the release of their newest model, the Inkbook Onyx, a 6″ ereader that runs Android on a dual-core CPU. I just got an email from Arta Tech, an ereader seller in Poland. Rarely do new product launches signal a shift in the market, but I think there’s more to this next device than meets the eye. Here, were the number of buttons is minimal anyway, perhaps AIReader is worth trying.Arta Tech Partners With Boyue, Releases the Inkbook Onyx Android eReader I tried it on T2 some time ago and buttons did not work, also the recent list was not available or not done the way I wanted - I don't remember now.Īnyway, the author of AIReader had no plans to add support for T1/T2 buttons so I stayed with CoolReader. I find this approach very convenient.Īnother question that was interesting to me: if the hardware buttons work not only for next/previous page in the book, but also in various settings with longer lists of choices.Īs to AIReader, I still read mostly on T2 (which has 5 hardware buttons and allows long and double press, so 15 buttons) It allows to go to the location of any book in the list (long tap and then the appropriate action), so I choose the closest to where I want to go. I usually use the list of recently opened books instead of the internal browser, though: You do see the folders where your books are? Because that was one of things I wanted to test: if folders on the external card are accessible. No, I think the internal file browser should show the books in all kinds of formats (except pdf).
