Kobo pulled the veil off their latest ebook reader today, the much-anticipated 7.8-inch Kobo Aura One. It won’t get released until September 6th but pre-orders start on August 30th (kind of a weird way to announce the release a new product—make people wait 2 weeks before they can order it). Nevertheless, the Kobo Aura One […]

Onyx Releases 6.8-inch Onyx Boox T67 Plus, an Updated T68
I noticed a new 6.8-inch Onyx Android ereader for sale at Banggood called the Onyx Boox T67 Plus. It’s not new exactly; it’s an updated version of the T68.
