I came across a post on reddit yesterday with directions on how to set custom images on the screen when Kobo ereaders are turned off or sleeping, and it’s really easy to set up. Apparently the newer software on Kobos has an option to use custom screensavers but the feature is not being advertised. This […]
Onyx Has Already Discontinued the Leaf2 eReader?
It looks like Onyx is back to their old tricks of abandoning products that have only been on the market for a few months. Apparently when they announced the released of the new Boox Page last month, that also meant the end of the Leaf2 because now the product page at B&H says it’s been […]

About a week ago Onyx released a new hybrid device called the Boox Palma, but it was an “Early Adopter Edition” that was only available for a few hours before it sold out so I didn’t post an article about it. Onyx is apparently trying to determine if there’s a market for smaller phone-sized reading […]
Video Showing New 7.8″ Onyx Tab Mini C in Action
Onyx released the new Tab Mini C with a 7.8-inch color E Ink screen about 3 weeks ago, and now they’ve got a new video showing the device in action on their YouTube channel. I just reviewed the larger model, the Tab Ultra C. The features and software are mostly the same between the two, […]

I’ve seen this topic come […]
