Onyx BOOX – E-ink readers & note tablets
Chinese e-ink device company
Onyx makes BOOX — e-ink readers and tablets running Android, so you install whatever app you want rather than being tied to one bookstore.
They stand out for large 10.3 inch screens with a stylus: you read PDFs without zooming, take handwritten notes, and the screen does not tire your eyes like a backlit display.

Frequently asked questions about BOOX
- How does it differ from a tablet?
- The e-ink screen does not emit light at your eyes and reads like paper even in sunlight. It is not suited to video, though — refresh is slow.
- Does it run normal apps?
- Yes, BOOX devices run Android and you install the reading, note-taking and cloud apps of your choice.
- Can you write on PDFs?
- Yes, with the stylus. It is the main reason students and professionals choose them.
- Is a case necessary?
- Recommended. The e-ink screen resists scratches but is sensitive to pressure and impact.
