Get ready for higher prices on Onyx’s ereaders and eNotes. If you’ve been considering buying a Boox device you might want to do it now before the prices go up.

Kindle + Kobo is the Best Combination – Why Take Sides?

Onyx Releasing Fewer New Boox Devices Lately
Have you noticed how Onyx hasn’t been releasing as many new models as they did in previous years? Onyx used to release upwards of a dozen new ereaders and eNotes per year, to the point where it turned into a running joke, but things have really slowed down over the past year or so. So […]
