Basic 6-inch Kindle e-reader uses an electronic ink screen that looks and reads like real paper. The matte screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, so you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room. Unlike tablet screens, Kindle has no glare.

ONYX BOOX Poke is a premium e-book reader in a compact slim body with an E Ink Carta Plus screen, MOON Light backlight and SNOW Field function. The reader is equipped with a high-performance processor and enough internal memory. The integrated Wi-Fi module and touch control in combination with a full-fledged browser allow you to comfortably use the device to surf the Internet. The built-in Bluetooth module makes it possible to connect various external devices to the book. Poke is based on the Android operating system, which allows you to use a variety of reading programs and makes working with most text formats as convenient as possible.
Imagine two distant planets in the far reaches of the e-ink galaxy. One is populated by Kindles, a tribe of sleek, resolute devices dedicated to the noble pursuit of displaying words, words and nothing but words. Their mission is singular: to be the most uncomplicated, pleasant vessel for reading ever conceived, one that whispers, “Here’s a book, just read it,” with a grace that makes paper blush. They have a cozy relationship with their almighty overlord, Amazon, who bestows upon them all manner of books, fonts and gentle glows of front-lighting for those moonlit reading marathons. The Kindle ethos is simple: in a universe where books meet screens, it’s best to keep things simple and let the words do the talking.
And then there’s ONYX BOOX Poke, a curious sort hailing from the galaxy of Android, where books are just the beginning. The BOOX Poke finds itself caught between two worlds — one of stories and another of spreadsheets, annotations and productivity tools. This isn’t merely a reader, it’s an ambitious all-in-one device, the Swiss Army knife of e-readers, designed for those who view “just reading” as a notion akin to “just breathing.” It comes equipped not only to serve up the written word but also to enable doodling, note-taking and even a brief flirtation with Google Play, should the user feel that reading alone could never fill the emptiness of a digitally over-scheduled life. To the BOOX Poke, reading is serious business and it stands ready to serve readers and scribblers alike.
