So a few weeks ago Onyx started selling screen protectors for the Onyx Boox Note and the Onyx Boox Max2 after some reports of the stylus leaving marks and scratches on the screen (I saw this firsthand with the Onyx Max2).

How to Add Fonts to Onyx Boox eReaders
One thing about Onyx’s ebook readers is they have a bunch weird font choices, but it turns out it’s really easy to add your own selection of font types. The user manual mentions adding fonts but the explanation is pretty vague. It turns out all you have to do is create a folder on the […]
