Questions from a student about the M92
Hello all! I am considering purchasing a m92 and this looks like the place to get some of the feedback. I LOVE my full sized entourage edge (EE), but I also crave the portability and above all, the beautiful pearl screen of the m92. The edge has a first gen screen.
I am a doctoral student, so reading and marking up pdfs is pretty much my life. With the amount I read, eink is a must. After a few hours my eyes cross and blur in front of an lcd, so for those kind folks who respond to all students that the only option is an ipad, I thank you but decline in advance.
The edge has so many brilliant features for students, but it also has a couple drawbacks, the biggest of which the company is out of business. I know that the m92 can’t replace all of these features that are possible with the dual screen of the edge, but I was wondering if any of you could speak to whether it can fulfill a couple of my basic wishes (beyond, obviously, the beautiful, high contrast screen I’m sure it has)
1. (the big one) How well does it work for saving annotated documents to be viewed on another device/computer? My big wish would be to have Dropbox (or some similarly awesome cloud service) integration such that I could easily sync changes to an annotated copy to Dropbox. Sync-ability is my top wish, and if it does this well, I can overlook a lot of other foibles. My edge requires a new, flattened copy to be exported anytime you want to update it on the computer. It’s a bit slow, and not really practical. If syncing isn't yet an option, how fast/easy is it to move annotated copies around at this point?
2. Would its file manager work easily for organizing documents by class/subject?
I plan on keeping one of my EEs, but will sell the other one if it looks like the M92 will offer enough mobility for my pdfs. I love that the M92 is being updated regularly by a passionate developer community, so any info about annotation syncing updates we might be able to expect soon would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance and greetings from Philly!
