ONYX BOOX Darwin 9 is an E Reader which continues the most popular series of 6” ONYX BOOX devices made in a classic body with side buttons. The model has a 6” E Ink Carta Plus screen with the highest resolution and contrast for models of this size. The Darwin 9 is equipped on a modern high-performance processor and has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. A built-in Wi—Fi module allows you to use network services, and Bluetooth support allows you to connect wireless accessories, including headphones and speakers. Thanks to the Android 11 operating system, various third-party applications can be installed on the reader. The pre-installed audio player makes it possible to listen to music and audiobooks, and the support of the TTS (Text-to-Speech) function allows you to voice text files.
E Ink Carta Plus is the latest generation of screens made by "electronic paper" technology. Compared to the previous models, this screen has a higher definition and contrast. Pixel density of the screen is 300 dpi that is a record for this type of E Ink screens and corresponds to high-quality paper printing. Reading on such screens is as comfortable as on regular paper pages.
SNOW Field is an operating mode of the screen, allowing you to reduce the number of artifacts on the screen during partial refresh. If this function is on, full refresh of the screen is not needed.
The MOON Light 2 technology enables one to use the device in the dark or under poor lighting conditions. When this function is on, soft luminescence of the screen comfortable for reading in dark rooms is being generated. It also has a color temperature control and, thanks to the Flicker-Free technology, this screen frontlit system is perfectly smooth.
The capacitive touch screen with the Multi-touch function provides convenient control when reading or setting the device: scrolling, zooming, running the context menu and much more. Controlling the E Reader is as convenient as using a smartphone or tablet.
The latest researches have shown that blue light prevents the production of melatonin (daily rhythms regulator), which is necessary for a person to sleep. Therefore, after reading on a glowing screen of an ordinary tablet or smartphone, it is often difficult to fall asleep. MOON Light 2 allows you to adjust the brightness of cold and warm LED lights independently, choosing at will white light for reading during the daytime, and more yellow for reading before sleeping. The Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates shimmering of the LEDs used in this screen frontlit system. This is due to the use of a DC power supply. The Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort for sight and eye fatigue and decreases the chances of headache, caused by long use of the E Reader.
The up-to-date 4-core processor together with 2 GHz clock rate and 2 GB of RAM ensure a comfort work with the most difficult documents. And 16 GB of nonvolatile memory and a slot for SD cards allow the user to store a huge library of necessary ebooks.
The BOOX software allows you to open files of various text and graphic formats. When reading you can change font style and size, disposition of pages, insert bookmarks, and zoom documents at will.
The device supports OTG, thanks to which you can connect additional peripherals that do not require drivers.
There are pre-installed English-Russian and Russian-English dictionaries in the Darwin 9 which allow you to translate words while reading. To view the translation of a word, just select it in the text. Other dictionaries in the Stardict format can be installed at will.
The E Reader comes with a smart cover which not only provides effective protection of the screen, but when closed turns automatically the device into standby.
In addition to the standard way of copying ebooks with the help of a USB cable, you can transfer them via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or using a QR code. Also a cloud "Send2boox" PUSH service is available.
Thanks to the built-in Bluetooth module of the 5.0 standard, you can connect wireless accessories such as external keyboards or wireless earphones for listening to audio.
There is a pre-installed audio player in the device which allows you to listen to music and audiobooks. To use it, it is enough to connect headphones or a speaker to the E Reader via Bluetooth or via an audio connector and run the corresponding file. The device also supports the TTS (Text-to-Speech) function, with which you can voice text files.
The ONYX BOOX Darwin 9 model is based on the Android 11 operating system and allows you to install and use various third-party apps, which significantly expand the possibilities of using the device.
Low power consumption by the E Ink display and the battery capacity of 3000 mAh provides a long-lasting autonomous work.
