Onyx Selling Poke2 Color Again with Color E Ink Screen
Onyx has started taking orders for the Poke2 Color once again, their first color ereader that uses E Ink’s new Kaleido screen technology.

Onyx has released yet another new ereader for 2020, the Boox Poke3, a 6-inch ebook reader with a small form factor that runs Android 10.
