I recently bought an Onyx Boox X60 for my wife to use for reading and taking notes at the office. The reading experience is fine, but I found the built-in scribble app to be nearly useless – despite the surprisingly good digitizer.
Here is a list of the functions I would need / expect in such a device, and my annoying experience with the X60:
1. Undo (at least the last stroke, but preferably more). X60: doesn’t support it.
2. Quick access to eraser (icon on screen). X60: eraser is in menu, needs 2 or more taps to access, then 2 more to switch back to pen.
3. Renaming scribble files. X60: doesn’t support it.
4. Searching scribble files by file name (including partial name). X60: doesn’t support it.
5. Exporting scribble files to a PC via USB cable or wirelessly to the web. X60: doesn’t support it. I have tried the following methods:
• Accessing the device memory and the SD card and finding the scribble files – couldn’t find them.
• Using the Export function in the Scribble application – exports only the last page of a multi-page scribble (how useless is that???)
• Using the (undocumented) snapshot function (pressing Vol+ and Vol- buttons simultaneously) – captures a blank page without the scribbles.
• Using a blank pdf as a template – the scribbles are lost when I rename the template. Even if I don’t rename the template (or rename it before starting to scribble), the scribbles do not show up when I view the pdf on a pc.
Is the situation similarly bad on the M92? Does PeterX's alternative scribble app solve some of these issues? If so, any idea if it would run on an X60?
