Google Play Books App Review on Onyx Boox T68 (Video)
I’ve been testing a bunch of different Android reading apps on the Onyx Boox T68 Lynx. The Play Books app is up for review this time around. At first the app seemed to work okay, but the more I use it the more it continues to crash. Too bad because all the Play Books’ features […]
Onyx Boox T68 Lynx Kobo App Review (Video)
As far as third party reading apps go, the Kobo Android app fairs better than most on the Onyx Boox T68.

Onyx Boox T68 Kindle App Review (Video)

Comparison Review: Kindle Fire HDX vs Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (Video)
Recently I posted a review of the new 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, and while I was at it I wanted to post a comparison review between it and the 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX to detail some of the differences between them. Both are among the top brands for Android tablets, and both are very […]
