Google Play Books App Review on Onyx Boox T68 (Video)

by

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)

by

As far as third party reading apps go, the Kobo Android app fairs better than most on the Onyx Boox T68.

You can setup Calibre to […]

Onyx Boox T68 Kindle App Review (Video)

by

So one of the big questions with the Onyx Boox T68 ebook reader is if the Kindle for Android app works on it or not. This is important because it would make it one of the only non-Kindle E Ink ereaders to officially support Kindle ebooks out of the box, with no hacking required. The […]
