Over the past two months we’ve seen two new ebook readers with color E Ink screens get released, the Pocketbook Color and Onyx Poke2 Color, and both have already disappeared from the market. Did they just sell out faster than expected, faster than demand could keep up, or has Pocketbook and Onyx already decided to […]

New 13.3″ Onyx Max Lumi with Frontlight Now Available on Amazon
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 […]
Comparing Onyx Boox Note Air vs Boox Note2
Now that Onyx has released the new 10.3-inch Note Air, I thought it would be interesting to see how it compares to the Onyx Note2. Update: See this newer post for an updated comparison with a video review: Comparison of Onyx Boox Note Air, Note3 and Note2. Usually when Onyx releases a new model it’s […]

Ranking eBook Reader Frontlights from Dimmest to Brightest
One thing that sometimes comes up in regards to dedicated ebook readers with E Ink screens is the frontlight being a touch too bright at the lowest setting to be comfortable for night reading when all the lights are turned off in the house. Now that I’m reviewing the Pocketbook Color I’ve become aware of […]
Pocketbook eReaders Have a Great Design
I recently ordered a new Pocketbook Color after they started selling them on Newegg, and while most people would probably focus on the color E Ink screen, the first thing that jumped out to me was how much I like Pocketbook’s design. The design isn’t unique to the Pocketbook Color; all of Pocketbook’s ereaders have […]
New 10.3″ Dasung Not-eReader 103 on Kickstarter and You Won’t Believe the Price
Dasung is planning to release another Not-eReader device (which ironically is an ereader), this time with a 10.3-inch E Ink screen. It looks cool and the specs are impressive on paper, and like other Dasung products it doubles as an E Ink monitor, but the price is pretty ridiculous, and Dasung is making claims that […]
