So far 2025 has been pretty disappointing when it comes to new dedicated reading devices getting released. Most companies are just re-releasing existing models with minor changes, like a new bezel color. Last year was a good year for new ereaders with Amazon coming out with a new line of Kindles, including the first color […]

Onyx is in the midst of releasing a new software update, version 4.1, for Boox eNotes and ereaders, and some of the new features and UI tweaks look pretty interesting.

Onyx has quietly released a new version of the Boox Go 6 with a white exterior. It’s available to order on Amazon for $159.99 with free shipping, and it’s expected to ship in a couple of weeks.
