Yep it’s not cheap at all, but colour does fill a useful niche for magazines, textbooks and comics. This is Onyx’s third commercial colour eInk device, and this is important as newer iterations are going to keep showing improvements of the screen, especially for contrast and clarity.
In fact, Onyx claims the screen on the new Nova Air C has 30% better contrast and 15% more colour saturation compared to the screen on the previous generation Nova3 Colour (but they also note the contrast difference with the front lights off is only 6%).
The device runs Onyx’s customized software that’s based on Android 11, and like other Boox products it’s open to install Android apps. It also comes with a stylus pen for taking notes and writing on the screen.
