A large and eye-friendly display, a powerful processor combined with 4GB of RAM and dual touch controls are optimal tools for reading PDF and DjVu files.

What is E Ink Mobius Carta?

E Ink Mobius Carta are high resolution (207 dpi) screens made using eInk technology and featuring a plastic backing and lighter weight. The use of plastic makes these screens less fragile than conventional glass-backed screens. Reading from such a screen is as comfortable as from a regular paper page. The power consumption of the screen occurs only when changing the image.

What is SNOW Field

SNOW Field is a screen mode that allows to reduce the number of artifacts on the E Ink screen during partial redrawing. If this function is activated, a complete redrawing is not required when reading simple text documents.

Comfortable reading

The 13.3-inch E Ink Mobius Carta SNOW Field display is ideal for viewing documents containing graphs and diagrams, as well as any PDF or DjVu document. The absence of flickering backlight and the principle of image formation using the "electronic ink" method makes reading comfortable for the eyes. The screen roughly corresponds to an A4 sheet, i.e. allows you to view even simple scanned pages without scaling.

Format Support

The BOOX software allows you to open many different text and image file formats. While reading, you can change the style and size of the font, the position of the pages, add bookmarks and arbitrarily scale documents.

Screen backlight

MOON Light 2 technology allows you to use the device in the dark or low light conditions, without harming your eyes. This function creates a soft glow on the screen that is optimal for dark rooms. The backlight has color temperature control and is flicker-free thanks to Flicker-Free technology.

What is MOON Light 2 backlight?

Recent studies have shown that blue light interferes with the production of melatonin (a regulator of circadian rhythms), which a person needs to sleep. Therefore, after reading from the luminous screen of an ordinary tablet or smartphone, it is often difficult to fall asleep. Backlight MOON Light 2 allows you to independently adjust the brightness of the LEDs for cold and warm light, choosing whiter light for reading during the day, and more yellow for reading before bed. Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates the flickering of the LEDs used in this backlight. This is due to the use of a constant voltage source. Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces eye discomfort and fatigue and reduces the likelihood of headaches caused by prolonged use of the reader.
