Jezetek E-Book Reader and writer there’s the 7.8" P78C Supporting styling writing as well so that would make it 7.8-inch E-ink 1404*1872 Capacitative Touch. With memory 8GB EMMC and Ram 1GB, battery 3000mAh. There’s also a 10.3" P10C model with 8GB of internal storage space and 1GB of RAM, same as the P78C. The cool thing about this model is it’s the first 10.3-inch front light. Jezetek 13.3-inch model too, the P133A. Based on Android 4.4.2, but it looks like it’s still a major work in progress, especially when it comes to the hand writing features. The P78C and P10C both have iMX6 processors, but the P133A has the new iMX7 processor. (text by flatslap5657 of Fiverr)

Onyx Boox with PadMu Music e-reader, new e-readers Boox Ligo, Nova, Poke, Note S and more to come
Sandro Casiraghi presents https://www.padformusician.com/en/ based on the awesome Onyx Boox Max2 for a single or dual 97% of full A4 "like A4 paper" digital music notes reading experience, with a synchronized Bluetooth page turning pedal and Smartphone app. There are more than 1 million professional musicians in the world who potentially could benefit from this technology. This is made possible due to Onyx's Android solution on their Boox E Ink e-reader platform, as this is enabled through Android. The two readers connect via Wi-Fi direct and the master reader connects with the pedal and Smartphone using Bluetooth. Thus far they have been reaching out to professional and amateur musicians to get their feedback. Onyx is bringing their whole E Ink e-reader range up to their new Quad-core 1.6Ghz ARM platform with smoother and faster page turns, faster and better Android support. Onyx shows some of their new 6" e-reader designs including Boox Ligo, Boox Nova, Boox Poke that will come before the end of the year. While the 10.3" Boox Note is awesome, it is probably not a large enough screen for the music reading market. The Boox 9.7" Note S is newer and thinner and lighter too on their new faster platform too.

Onyx Note 10.3″ vs reMarkable 10.3″
I think the most promising Note E-reader form factor, here I compare devices using the same awesome 10.3" flexible (plastics based) E Ink display at 1872x1404 at 226dpi, in thin and light 320-350gr form factors but with different E Ink implementations yet where the Onyx Note seems smoother in the way it manages note taking, page turning, navigating inside of its Android based UI. While the reMarkable seemed to "blink" more in its (Linux?) based UI and with the note taking also seemingly smoother on the Onyx Note at least based on the current firmware that I was able to test and based on how I was able to use the reMarkable. The Onyx Note is shipping shortly at $549 on Amazon (I think they said it's to start shipping between now and February) while the reMarkable is available at $599 on their website once the perfect Android apps for smart collaborative and productive work are available especially for the Onyx Note (I am not sure how the reMarkable manages evt collaboration work and productivity?), I believe this market segment could grow rapidly to be a very important new market segment. One where creative people will be able to read and work with ideas, with texts in a much more interesting and productive way.
