Actually, I'm finding battery life in 1.3 to be worse than in 1.2. Stability has taken a backward step as well.
My unit was fully charged two days agao and today it's down to two bars. That's about four hours of reading time with mostly standby time. The wifi switch is in the 'off' position. I've also been dumped out of the reader back to the file listing a few times when hitting 'next page' in a book or when hitting 'menu' in a book. I've got one epub that won't open at all, though it opens in calibre's reader just fine. Any idea when the next firmware is scheduled? If you need some beta testers, I'm willing to help. |

Oops, I dropped a box on my computer just as I was about to vote and accidentally voted in the unhappy section, this is not the case at all!
The Neo/Boox has some draw backs, but overall it is an excellent critter. I am very pleased with my Neo. |

There's something wrong with the poll or the way the answers are structured, as I seem to have voted unhappy when I'm sure I voted very happy.
As an example, why is negative statement at the top instead of the bottom in the results list? Unfortunately I cant see the POLL any more as I have voted. Last edited by Fith; 03-19-2010 at 05:58 AM. |

I agree. Usually polls go from good to bad. And the un in unhappy is easily overlooked. It would have been better to use completely different terms like 'excellent' and 'would never buy again'. Maybe we should do a new poll.
Oh and to Dulin's Books: Thank You for the clarification. I thought that it probably was a mistake. Last edited by frozennorth; 03-19-2010 at 02:10 PM. |

Well, I feel better about saying I'm in the same boat, I meant to vote "very happy" (7) but I'm recorded as the opposite (1).
I hope someone can fix the poll. Firmware 1.3 has fixed internet connection for me, I can now use WEP (with a long hex password) and WPA2. As for battery life, I'm not sure yet, but I it seems that large pure graphic pdfs drain the battery rather more than epubs or small text based pdfs. This is not totally unexpected as even computers can find those big pdfs hard to scroll. |

It sounds like the results of this poll are completely meaningless due to confusion about how it was structured.
I myself can't vote in it, because I am not an owner, I am in a "holding pattern," waiting for an update on the expected availability of the larger boox. The last update we got on that was nearly two months ago, though (hint hint) Last edited by mmanville; 03-23-2010 at 09:18 AM. |

Yep, the poll results do look depressive and, without reading entire topic, very misleading.
May I suggest resetting the votes and possibly changing the "." options into something more descriptive? |

No problem Luag.
I nearly made the same mistake on my Poll and that was just after posting here! |
