Prepare for increased costs on Onyx’s ereaders and eNotes. In the event you’ve been contemplating shopping for a Boox gadget you may need to do it now earlier than the costs go up.
This morning I seen costs have already elevated on a number of Boox fashions at B&H. The Be aware Air4C is now $20 dearer than it was once, and the Palma 2 (black) and Boox Go 6 and Boox Go Colour 7 are all $10 dearer now.
Not all fashions have seen a worth enhance (but). The Boox Go 10.3 remains to be $379 and the brand new 13.3″ Be aware Max remains to be $649. The white Palma 2 remains to be priced usually as nicely, in the interim.
The costs nonetheless haven’t gone up on Onyx’s official Amazon retailer but, however since Onyx is predicated in China it’s only a matter of time earlier than tariff charges begin trickling all the way down to prospects.
It’s going to be worse for Onyx as a result of their costs had been already increased than most since they don’t become profitable off of promoting ebooks like Amazon and Kobo. I actually just like the Palma 2 however it was already overpriced at $279, and one of many annoying issues about Onyx’s gadgets is that they by no means go on sale till they’re getting changed by a more recent mannequin.
Kobo simply raised the costs of their ereaders by $10 every earlier this month too, so now two of Amazon’s rivals have needed to enhance costs. It’ll be attention-grabbing to see if worth of Kindles will go up too sooner or later. If anybody can afford to eat additional charges it’s Amazon, however I’m certain they’d quite cross that down onto prospects as a substitute.
