Onyx Boox 60 eBook Reader Manual

September 19, 2009

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.

Engadget found an FCC filing. Aside from revealing it contains 802.11b/g, there’s a diagram [PDF link] that seems to display a battery compartment and SIM slot:

Some people have speculated this is the back of the Plastic Logic reader. Yet this photo shows a clean back.

I’m wondering if we’re seeing the back of the new iRex eBook reader:
