Actually, you can annotate, but not highlighting... nothing unusual, if you consider what kind of files are Djvu files (like scannerized files).

A google search shows that they exist, but what does the presence or absence of some fuctionality in applications for microsoft windows have to do with whether or not that functionality is in an embedded linux device?

The m90 sure has an annoying low power warning....it just shows a screen with Low Battery and shuts down (not only standby) and when you start it again it didn't even remember where you were in the book.

After the warning it could be nice with a least 10 min of time to shut things down and get to the charger.

Best regards,
broch

After my Irex broke down I was looking at this. A 9.7" Pearl e-ink screen, pen input, and WiFi sure seem tempting. But from all I am reading here this is still very much a work in progress. So I am glad I could get my Irex up and running again. Except for the screen it seem to be everything the M90 should be. I guess it is best to wait for more devices or a better firmware for this baby.

and I felt us pre-order users were like lab rats...and it was us who reports all the bugs to Onyx. I have never used any product so primitive in it's firmware, the firmware at such stage should belong to a alpha test product... not a final one!

just 10 minutes ago... the device froze on its own... even reset doesn't work...then it rebooted itself just now.

I agree
Just to confort you a little bit, I bought an Asus EEE Note EA-800.
I can't tell how great is the WACOM, everything is good but the PDF reader is retarded in it's implementation, so is the annotation system that works with it.

Couple of things to give you an idea: if you switch to landscape you loose the tools, you can only read, no annotations!!

if you change the direction of the text for the document (can do that playing with Adobe Acrobat) just to simulate the landscape mode the highlighter tool doesn't help you any more because it is designed jut to work from east to west to say so. If you go with it north to south or vice versa you get a line like the pen does!

I found that the pen in PDF mode has a poorer precision when it comes to draw vertical lines in PDF mode. That means that if you put your wacom pen on the document the line underneath has a slight offset and to underline correctly a sentence you have to guess where to put the pen. Again that is if you switch the direction of the PDF text doc so you can have landscape like reading and annotation tools

In drawing mode there is no zoom, can you believe that? In other words you can not zoom in, fix some details or do detailed sketching, and after that zoom out. This is a very basic function for many programs like this

The device is ideal for a student who wants to take notes and record voice (max 2h) but... has strange limitations like the ones above mentioned which make the tool not usable as PDF reader with annotation capabilities. It would also be ideal for people who have to do sketches, small sketches actually, real estate agents totake notes, and pictures and so on. Anyone who needs a more precise sketching can order it. Te device is somewhere in the middle between a tablet and an eink reader.

PDF reading is OK, doing a very decent job in landscape mode.

There are many other things poorly implemented and I do believe that the guy who designed the PDF reader had not done this before. Cheap implementation of the annotation function by recording everything like a picture and storing the coordinates of these in a database. I believe that this decision led to the a problem like no annotation tools in landscape mode....

These being said I am too, decided to wait for a better 10". I will probably buy an IPAD or Android, I am verry happy with the ezPDF reader and Repligo PDF reader, both very good progrmas, they have squized my Nook Touch to maximum, so bad that the screen is not a bit bigger.

I would buy a 7-8-10" eink Android based ereader in an instant if I could find one. If you are aware of any please let me know. With the two progams mentioned above, with a min 7" screen and working in landscape mode you will be OK I can promise you.

Anyone knows how to change the screen saver? It would be nice if I could use my photo as the screen saver. Then my M90 would become a picture frame.

Perhaps these two links can be helpful for you. I think the M90 has got a very similar firmware as the previous Onyx e-readers, so it should not be a difficult problem to change the screen saver.

I'm totally in line with you PF4Mobile .
I've seen a rooted Nook touch on youtube and its not only blazing fast for Web browsing.. but also becomes Android market enabled which allows one to get the Opera mini..
Plus... the Aldiko app, for eg. and! even the Kindle app!

(The Aldiko app allows one to read pdfs in landscape mode;
and getting library ebooks directly from the Nook Touch itself through WiFi. Plus, its got a pretty cool extra_ night mode which displays white text on black background_ looks pretty neat.)

The M90.. still reviews with a lot of work to be done, and isn't finger touch enabled.
It supports a lot of formats.. yes.. and a lot of options.. yes.. which seduces me.
I am a very patient guy, and i totally understand it is all part of the process.. but i havent seen any video review since Booxtor posted one a few weeks ago.. and nothing about Web browsing with it, either ..

Any new M90 owner be kind enough to make & upload one ?

Having said this.. i'd buy a 9"/10" Nook Touch in a heart beat !
(i'm, in fact considering a 6" one in the meantime..!)


PS : P4FMobile. Could we maybe talk about the Nook Touch a little more.. ? Maybe on a private msg.. or on another thread ?

Sure, ask me what you want to know and I will answer those questions. Open a thread in the Nook sections and PM me about it. I would make my comments public as I would like others to learn from my experience as I learned from others' experience too.

It is in German, though I think that most of it is self-explanatory.

Hi Dulin's. There is an option in M90, "Show/hide hyperlinks". Do you know what is their use? What do these Hyperlinks refer to?

Other question. When i highlight some words, i can associate some notes to them. There is also an option that permits me to associate a scribble instead?

Thanks

It allows you to to hide or unhide hyperlinks within a pdf. you can use these hyperlinks to navigate within the document. I can't say if it will pop up the browser and go to an external link but i will certainly give it a try and report back tomorrow

Thank you both _ Dimitris & PF4Mobile . I hadn't seen that German review yet.

The M90 looks a little more solid, but its speed still worries me..

Also.. its still a 'closed-system' which means.. one has to wait for Onyx to move, or someone taking the time to work with SDK..
The Android market is a mess.. but its huge.. And.. if google releases Honeycomb's code later this year, as reported, one could expect running Honeycomb on an eink device early next year!

I still havent given up on the M90 though. I'll probably wait and see.. what Sony's got up their sleeve.

BTW .. I've started a new thread -> "Real advantages of a (rooted) Nook Touch" . I've posted my 'starting issues'.. for it.


PS : i agree with Paola. Being able to export annotations, even as images ..is not bad. Not ideal either, though..
I want a 9"/10" eink device so i can get my eyes off the LCD screens people! One needs to use conventional screens less. So why not enhance those tools ?

Other than portability.. i think thats the main objective.. for an eink-ereader. Does anyone disagree ??
