Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I’m a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I’ve been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and document writing.
They violate the open source licenses for the projects they use.
Source?
Some info here:
Reddit thread
Have they addressed this issue since? This device sounds amazing but I have a suspicion that they did modify it and probably with something shady going on
Edit: the reply towards the bottom of this thread says some user found connections to chinese servers so they’re probably logging

Yikes…
Yeah, I haven’t read good things about Onyx either. Chinese-inside™. Scummy business practices.
I prefer Kobo as an alternative.
