A Wi-Fi module allows you to use WEB-services, and Bluetooth allows the user to connect wireless accessories such as earphones and speakers. Thanks to the Android 11 OS you can install different third-party apps from Google Play. The pre-installed audio player allows you to listen to the music and audio books.

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 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 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 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.
ONYX BOOX Livingstone 2 has several pre-installed dictionaries. The device supports Stardict dictionaries which can be downloaded from the Internet for free. Want to translate an unknown word? Just touch it!
The library sorts ebooks by author, title and series. Convenient search and filters allow you to find quickly any needed book by genre, language, date of publication etc. In addition, standard folders, created on PCs, are supported.
Along with a standard mode of copying ebooks into the device with the help of a USB-cable, you may use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or a QR-code to transfer files. Also a cloud PUSH-service send2boox is available.
The device comes with a smart cover which not only provides effective protection of the screen, but when closed turns automatically the device into a sleep mode. On its right side there are convenient scrolling buttons.
The built-in G-sensor automatically selects the correct text orientation when the device is rotated. Thanks to this option, you can change the orientation of the eReader and the image will be restructured automatically. The scrolling buttons on the cover case also change their functions according to the orientation of the screen.
Thanks to a built-in Bluetooth module of the 5.0 standard you can connect an external keyboard or other external devices, and listen to audio files.
The device supports OTG (On-To-Go), thanks to which you can connect additional peripherals that do not require drivers.
The model has a pre-installed audio player which allows you to listen to the music and audiobooks. To use it, just connect earphones or speakers to the device via Bluetooth and run a corresponding file. The device also supports a TTS (Text-To-Speech) function which can make sound text files.
