ONYX BOOX Nova Air C
ONYX BOOX Nova Air C is a device with an E Ink Kaleido Plus color 7,8” screen with a lighting system and double touch control. The contrast and color enhancement of these screens was significantly improved comparatively with the screens of previous generation. The model is made in a thin metal body and its screen is covered with an Asahi protective glass. The Nova Air С is based on a high performance 8-core processor and 3 GB of RAM, which provide high working speed in all the usage modes. A built-in Wi-Fi module allows you to use different network services, and the support of Bluetooth allows the user to connect different external devices. Thanks to its enlarged screen, taking handwritten notes and color display, this model will become a perfect choice for those, who intend to combine ebooks reading and working with documents which have colored images.
What is E Ink on-cell Kaleido Plus?
E Ink on-cell Kaleido Plus is the latest generation of color screens made using "electronic paper" technology with better specifications. In comparison with the previous generation the contrast of these screens in color mode with the front light on is 30% and color enhancement is 15% higher. The contrast in black and white mode became 30% higher. Thanks to their ability to display 4096 colors, these screens are convenient for reading literature and ebooks with colored images. The pixel density is 300 dpi in black-and-white mode and 100 dpi in color mode. Reading on this screen is as comfortable as reading from the page of a good paper book.
What is Regal?
Regal is an operating mode of the screen, allowing to reduce the number of artifacts on the screen when it is partially refreshed. If this function is on, full refresh of the screen is not needed.
Screen lighting system
The MOON Light technology allows you to use the device in the dark or under poor lighting conditions. When this function is in use, soft luminescence of the screen comfortable for reading in dark rooms and safe for your sight is being generated. And thanks to the use of Flicker-Free technology this front-light system is perfectly smooth.
What is MOON Light 2?
The latest researches have shown that blue light interferes with the production of melatonin (a regulator of circadian rhythms), which is necessary for a person to sleep. Therefore, after reading from the glowing screen of an ordinary tablet or smartphone, it is often difficult to fall asleep. The MOON Light 2 backlight allows you to independently adjust the brightness of the cold and warm light LEDs, choosing at will both a whiter light for reading during the day and a more yellow light for reading before going to bed. The Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates the flickering of the LEDs used in this frontlight. This is due to the use of a constant voltage source. The Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort and eye fatigue and reduces the likelihood of headaches caused by prolonged use of the E reader.
Increased screen diagonal
The ONYX BOOX Nova Air C screen, enlarged up to 7.8 inches, displays 68% more information than similar 6" screens. At the same time, the device is compact enough for comfortable use during trips and travel.
Dual touch control
The device has two sensor layers. You can turn pages of e-books and zoom documents with intuitive two-finger movements. In addition, the Wacom sensor layer is located under the E Ink panel. Thanks to this, you can make notes on the margins and sketches using a special stylus which comes with the device. The stylus recognizes 4096 degrees of pressure and allows you to draw with extreme accuracy.
Additional screen protection
Protective glass from a well-known Japanese manufacturer ASAHI is placed on top of the E Ink screen and protects it from scratches and other damages. The new glass eliminated the need for additional edges, so the screen is flush with the body of the device. This makes the work with the e-book more comfortable, and its appearance more modern. In addition, a special coating reduces the likelihood of glare on the screen.
High performance work
The 8-core processor with 2 GHz clock rate and 3 GB of RAM ensures comfortable work with the most difficult documents. And 32 GB of nonvolatile memory allows the user to store a considerable library.
Bluetooth module
Thanks to a built-in Bluetooth module of the 5.0 standard you can connect an external keyboard or other external devices.
OTG
The device supports OTG, which allows you to connect additional peripherals that do not require the installation of additional drivers.
Format support
The BOOX software allows the user to open files of various text and graphic formats. When reading you can change font style and size, disposition of pages, insert bookmarks, add your own fonts and zoom documents at will.
Dictionaries
The software of the device allows you to install additional dictionary databases in the Stardict format at your wish or to download offered dictionaries automatically when you connect to Wi-Fi in the dictionary settings.
Audio player
There is a pre-installed audio player in the device which allows you to listen to the music and audio files. For its work is enough to connect earphones or external speakers to the device and open a corresponding file. It is also possible to listen to audio files via built-in speakers.
User-friendly ebook writing into the memory
