The Likebook brand of ebook readers have been around for a few years now, with the Likebook Mars being the most popular model.

Likebook has just released a new 7.8-inch Android-based ebook reader and Wacom-enabled digital notepad called the Likebook Ares Note to go along with the new 10.3-inch Likebook Alita that turned up on Amazon earlier in the month. The Likebook Ares Note is currently selling for $319 from Likebook’s Amazon store. It’s technically a pre-order as […]

Boyue has released a new software update that adds handwriting recognition and split-screen modes, among other new features, to the Likebook Mimas and (probably) the Likebook Muses.

But now we’ve finally got a couple of large […]

The long-awaited 10.3-inch Boyue Likebook Mimas has finally turned up for sale at Amazon. Better yet, the Likebook Mimas is priced very competitively at $489 with free shipping. That’s over $100 less than the similar Onyx Boox Note Pro, and they both share about 90% of the same features and both run Android 6.0. Plus, […]
