Review Date: October 2018 – Review unit purchased from Amazon Overview The Likebook Mars is made by a company called Boyue that’s based in China. Boyue has been making ereaders for several years now, sometimes under different brand names (like InkBook), but the Likebook Mars is their first to run Android 6.0 (the other models […]

The Likebook Mars is a new 7.8-inch ebook reader that runs Android 6.0, and it’s the first E Ink device to come with an octa-core processor. I thought it would be interesting to compare it to the 7-inch Kindle Oasis 2 with a dual-core processor, where the performance increase is so minimal over the other […]

Review Date: August 2018 – Review unit purchased from Amazon Overview The 9.7-inch Onyx Boox Note S is a less expensive, trimmed down version of the 10.3-inch Onyx Boox Note that I reviewed a couple months ago. Basically the Note S has half the storage space and RAM, and a lower resolution glass-based screen with […]

Onyx recently released the new Onyx Boox Note S with a 9.7-inch E Ink screen. It pretty much has the same exact features as the 10.3-inch Onyx Boox Note that was released a few months ago, except the Note S is cheaper so it comes with some downgrades. See my Onyx Boox Note review for […]
