Onyx is continually adding to its e-reader collection with the release of the Boox Tab X, which boasts a massive 13.3-inch display.
Beautifully large screen ; Support for the Google Play Store ; Fast performance despite the e-ink technology ; Writing feels smooth and natural
Smoother UI on other Android e-readers ; Very expensive for an e-reader
Despite its title as an e-reader, the sheer size and versatility of the Oynx Boox Tab X almost puts it into tablet territory. However, the e-ink display and incredibly high price make me wonder why I would buy this when I can buy an iPad 10th-gen for...

It's a niche ereader but the Onyx Boox Tab X could prove useful for some users
Sleek tablet with quality build ; Android 11 offers excellent versatility ; Great writing experience
Very expensive ; Stylus doesn’t attach magnetically ; Not upgradable to Android 12/13
Not many of us would contemplate buying an A4-sized E Ink tablet, but if you’re one of the few, then the Onyx Boox Tab X takes digital reading and note taking to the next level. Its 13.3-inch screen is perfect for editing documents (magazine editors...

The Tab X is superb – if you're using it for the quite narrow purpose for which it's been created
Great for editors and designers looking for a digital notepad ; Good build quality ; Stylus great for writing
High price ; Shame stylus doesn’t attach
An eye-catching e-ink tablet for professionals, but lacking mass appeal
Expert review by : Palash Volvoikar (slashgear.com)
Onyx Boox Tab X delivers a top-tier e-ink e-reader tablet experience that's ready to take notes, but not really made for illustrative art.
Fantastic screen ; Great build quality and feel ; Android app support versatility ; Amazing battery life
A bit expensive ; Stylus doesn't attach magnetically ; No physical volume buttons

An E Ink tablet as big as a letter-sized page? Sign me up, says's AP's @manuelvonau
As close to a regular sheet of paper as it gets thanks to big screen ; Excellent tools to set up the E Ink screen to your liking for every app ; Android and the Play Store are on board from the get-go ; A Wacom-powered stylus with a dedicated eraser
Big size can sometimes be unwieldy ; E Ink still has its disadvantages, especially when running Android ; No built-in place to store the stylus when not in use ; Very expensive for a device with such a limited use case
The Onyx Tab X is a powerhouse for anyone working with documents day in and out. At $880, it costs a pretty penny, too. That is also something that makes it hard to recommend when compared to the competition, especially full-blown tablets that offer...
