Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I’m a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I’ve been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and document writing.
They violate the open source licenses for the projects they use.
Yeah, I haven’t read good things about Onyx either. Chinese-inside™. Scummy business practices.
I prefer Kobo as an alternative.
Source?
One of many: http://bbs.onyx-international.com/t/install-linux-or-alternate-os-and-gpl2-kernel-source - nothing has changed
Some info here:
Reddit thread
Have they addressed this issue since? This device sounds amazing but I have a suspicion that they did modify it and probably with something shady going on
Edit: the reply towards the bottom of this thread says some user found connections to chinese servers so they’re probably logging

Edit 2: I wonder if the pinenote is any good
