Hi,
Nice and a step in again another world now i own my first ereader, an Onyx Boox 60.

I love and hate it. Love it because of the nice reading of books I found everywhere and bring all kind of surprises. Hate it because in one way or the other its a kind of stupid, nearly back to the seventies-computer. The black and white screen, the slowliness, the limited posibilities to go on the internet etc.
What really disappoints me is the grey background of the screen. I am so used tot real black on white and now it looks as if I am reading rom some kind of cheaprecycling paper. But on th other hand it's great to read on a computer in the full sun with no glare, not looking at yourself, but really can read. Now summer enters slowly I am looking forward to using it more and more.

BTW I choose the Boox especially for the internet-possibilities and the open software hoping that a lot of applications are coming up. I didn't find my much and nothing really interesting. Somebody ideas, tips?
