In a battle between two 13.3-inch ereaders with E Ink Carta displays, the Onyx Boox Max Carta and Sony DPT-RP1 are currently selling for the same price (except the Max can be had for even less). The Max Carta has been going for $750 lately (and it still is on Amazon) but Banggood has it […]

Onyx Boox Monte Cristo with 300ppi Carta Screen and Android 4.2
A company called Ectaco that used to be known for selling Jetbook ebook readers has recently started selling various Onyx Boox ereaders on Amazon. The odd thing about it is they’re selling the versions that are generally sold in Russia. For the most part they’re the same exact devices sold elsewhere but instead of having […]
9.7-inch Onyx Boox N96 Carta Half the Price of 13.3-inch eReaders
Having just reviewed the new 13.3-inch Sony DPT-RP1, it has really made me appreciate larger E Ink screens. They are a joy to read on and are much better for reading PDFs and other larger-form content than a typical 6-inch ereader. However, 13.3-inch E Ink screens are still relatively new and are very expensive. The […]

Sony DPT-RP1 vs Onyx Boox Max Carta Comparison
Yesterday I posted a video and first impressions review of the new Sony DPT-RP1, and some folks (myself included) were wondering how it compares to the Onyx Boox Max Carta. I don’t have access to the latter so this isn’t going to be a hands-on comparison, more of a general comparison outlining the main differences […]
Onyx Boox N96 Now Available with Upgraded E Ink Carta Display
I noticed that Banggood is now selling a newer version of the 9.7-inch Onyx Boox N96 with an upgraded E Ink Carta display. There are several different versions of the Boox N96. Some support dual touch and others only support stylus or finger input, and some have frontlights and others don’t. The new Onyx Boox […]
New Videos Showing 13.3-inch Onyx Boox Max Carta in Action
A few new videos have turned up on YouTube showing some different usage scenarios with the 13.3-inch Onyx Boox Max Carta. One of the videos demos Microsoft Word using an external keyboard and mouse. It appears to work pretty well. It was done using a remote desktop app to mirror the display on the Max […]
Video Review of Onyx Boox Max (and Max Carta)
Onyx released an updated version of their 13.3-inch ereader last month called the Onyx Boox Max Carta. It has an upgraded higher-resolution E Ink screen with greater pixel density than the first generation Max but it’s otherwise the same exact device as the original model. Both run Android software and have an electromagnetic screen for […]
