Score breakdown
Why this grade
Among the least repair-friendly. Onyx Boox's own Help Center confirms it does NOT sell screens or batteries to customers and directs owners to mail the device to support for repair, with self-repair voiding warranty. No official service manuals or schematics, and only sparse iFixit community guides for a few models (e.g., Poke5); no iFixit repairability score exists. Modern e-readers are described as nearly impossible to open, and older Boox batteries are held by strong double-sided tape. No OEM parts means no consumer parts pricing; out-of-warranty service is fee-based mail-in.
Methodology & version
Five dimensions — parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing, and software freedom — are scored 0–100 and weighted equally; the letter grade is the average (A 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60). This assessment is current as of 6/9/2026 and cites its sources below. It covers the Tablets category and is not a claim about every device the maker ships.
