It is possible. I had a conversation with Onyx some days ago.

I told them I am going to wait for real mass production with new tool a couple of days more and Artatech seem finally to have accepted those hand fixed devices for their first batch.
Hand fixed devices should be also absolutely OK. I am testing such a device myself. I just wanted to make doubly sure that our customers will get absolutely identical devices ...

As your client and waiting for my device, I find your decision better... Please Booxtor inform us when you have the device in the store and when you begin to send it...

My unit arrived today (from Arta Tech).

The stock settings Onyx reading app combines illegible text with badly rendered images. And while I fixed the issues with the text I don't see a way to get the T68 to render images properly (see below).

Google Play and a lot of other basic Android features are nearly unusable due to poor graphics; apparently no one at Onyx thought that it was necessary for color menus to be legible on grayscale E-ink.

Could you please test RepliGo Reader or EzPDF reader apps and let us know how they work? I think the ability to merge annotations to a PDF file and view them on the computer is critical. From what I read on the M96 forum, the Onyx reading software does not yet have this ability. Is this true on the T68 as well?

Thanks in advance!

I would like you to test Coolreader, FBReader and other [free or inexpensive] reading apps. I am interested in configurability of the apps and the device itself. I am pretty sure that soon there will be some high-contrast mods and themes (whatever they are called in Android).
Look at what icons and other graphical elements were used on Nook Simple Touch in their jailbreak package.

How many buttons does the device have? Is it enough for the device not to have to use that ugly hack with on-screen home and menu buttons that NST had to use?

Battery life, of course! And general file management, the handling of a library.

how is speaker ? strong and good enough to listen to a speech in a small/medium room ?

how is web browsing on it ? did you find web browsers better than others ?

RepliGo installed without any problems, the menu is usable on the E-ink screen, and it worked nicely.

I was able to read a 200MB graphic novel without issue. The text was small but the screen was sharp enough that it was readable. (It helped that I switched from a continuous scroll to a single page at a time.)

I was also able to test the annotation features (in a much smaller text only PDF). They worked (including highlights and other marks in colors which i could only see as grayscale), and I saved the new file with the annotations added.

No speaker, just a headphone jack.

the Gmail app is usable (I haven't tried the stock email client that Onyx included). It took the gmail app a few seconds to get caught up with my current status but once it did the app was responsive and I even sent out an email. This would not be my first choice for an email tool but it works.

The stock web browser is very slow; it works to display even animated graphics like today's Google Doodle. But it is slow so you might not want to use it much.

Thanks, that's certainly great news!
