Onyx Boox Poke2 Colour released
Onyx have finally launched their 6" ereader using the new Kaleido display.
It looks very much like their existing Poke2, except for the screen. https://shop.boox.com/products/poke2color At $299, it seems to be rather more expensive than the PocketBook equivalent. Last edited by pdurrant; 08-10-2020 at 03:08 AM. |

I wonder if the Kaleido display is currently only available in six inch screens? It seems like a 7" or 8" display would be the more viable market for color eInk readers.

Or someone reserved exclusive rights to anything bigger. We shall see if Kobo or Amazon come out with a bigger screen.

I still think it would be short-sighted to give Kobo or Kindle exclusive use of larger color screens. |

I am coming around to the idea that Amazon and Kobo will ship devices with this screen. It seems ‘good enough’ for ebooks.
A Kindle would need to retain flush screen and waterproof properties. I could see a 6” model with a price point between Paperwhite and Oasis. Not sure there would be demand for an even more expensive Oasis. |

If Kobo had planned to use this screen then they would have launched the new device alongside the whatever it's called that launched last month. And if Amazon wanted to use this screen they would have been first. |
