January 31, 2010 update: I have placed the manual up on Google Docs. You no longer need to email me for it. Download it from here.
December 30, 2009 update: I’ve been informed by an owner that version 1.2 of the firmware now includes the manual.
UPDATE: This post has been getting a lot of traffic. Apparently this device shipped without the User Manual and the PDF download link is dead. I downloaded the manual when it was available. It is a 2.4MB PDF of 119 pages length. If you need it, email me and I will send it to you.
Boox60 User Manual Version1.0 is available as a PDF at that page.

I’ve taken some of the screensnaps to display here.
A bit of Chinese language there. I suppose by the time this gets to an English-language market — if ever — that’ll be fixed.
What’s significant about the browser is that it’s based on WebKit.
Has it not registered with these companies yet that touchscreens and E Ink just don’t go together? Sony has tried it two (soon to be three) times and has yet to get it right. Hell, I’m not sure it can be done right with a resistive touchscreen.
Hi,
I just bought a Boox 60 reader but it doesn’t come with a manual. I used your link back to Onyx and the page couldn’t be found. Searching Onyx website found no manual too.
I just wonder if you have a copy of the manual. If so I will appreciate you forward me a copy.
Thanks and regards.
You are in luck. I still have the manual. If you used your true email address, it will soon be on its way to you.
Actually I bought 3. Two of them for my two daughters :)
WHERE OH WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?
I downloaded the PDF when it was available. If you need it, just drop me an email.
Ich bin sehr interessiert an der PDF-Datei (very interested in the PDF to download).
Ohne eine Anleitung komme ich nur schlecht mit dem OnyxBoox 60 – Reader zurecht.
Click the link to download from Google Docs.

Hi,
Can you please send me the manual? I want to buy this ebook reader and I have to find out if I can connect an external keyboard to it. Even if it can’t, I still need the manual for other details, just in case I make up my mind on this one. By the way, do you know any e-ink reader which has the ability to add external keyboard (trough bluetooth maybe, or USB?. Thanks.
