When many of us already believed that the creation of eReaders with large screens was finished, Onyx Boox goes and surprises us with this pleasant news. Apparently Onyx Boox to launch a 13-inch eReader in October that will compete in the field of large screens and that will follow the line of its smaller brothers, the 6-inch eReaders.
This 13-inch eReader will not be like its competitor the Sony DPT-S1, the 13-inch eReader that only reads pdf files, but it will be an eReader with an android operating system, specifically version 4.4, which will make it possible for us to use and read any read and audio file.
The Onyx 13-inch eReader will reportedly use mobius technology and give this eReader a 1.200 x 1.600 pixel resolution with 150 dpi. The price of this eReader will not be affordable for the end user, it is believed that it will cost 700 dollars, but still it is still cheaper than the Sony eReader, more powerful and more versatile for companies since it will support any format and app while Sony's does not. Even so, I would not rule out that its price was even lower.
This 13-inch eReader will have Android Kit Kat as its heart
Apparently Onyx Boox would have been working on this model for more than 6 months, dates where this technology was very expensive, but now the prices are not the same and the price may continue to drop or have dropped more by October.
Still, if the 13-inch eReader really lives up to the idea of ​​many readers, the price may not be an obstacle to its being sold. If we look at current prices, the Kindle Voyage costs $ 200, the Kobo H2O about $ 179 and the latter is out of stock. I know that having two eReaders is not the same as having a 13-inch eReader, but for those who want a big screen, this eReader will be a breakthrough.
Still, we must remember that we will not see this eReader until October and that there will be variations until the final product, but will it be worth the wait?
