If you scour the depths of Amazon’s website you can sometimes turn up an obscure ereader that you’ve never seen before.

That was fast. Onyx released their first 13.3-inch ereader with a frontlight earlier this week, and now it’s already available to purchase from Amazon. Onyx said there would be a delay before the Boox Max Lumi would be available from their Amazon store, but it ended up only taking a few days. However, the listing […]
