For me this worked but I installed it in "dicts" (not Dicts) in a directory of the sd.

May I ask, Onyx Europe, why the **** you do not care to answer me? What's wrong with you? You can't even say:"I'm sorry I do not know" or: "Sorry, the dic is not workin' on the m91s" or anything else. You just do not answer. I am ****ing p***** about this.

I have noticed a bug after the last firmware update (I'm not asure if it was there previously). The last access to the files (date and time) is stored corectly, but when you switch off the ebook, the time is reseted to 00:00 (02:00 after changing the time zone).

The last is more difficult as it involves changing the page,keeping the zoom, re-panning it to the start (depending on the language that could be different corners), and correctly orienting the touch layer among other things.

Dulin, you should edit this if the m-90 has no g-sensor.

But the M90 does have a rotate button. The screen rotates 90 degrees each time you click it.

Hello everyone,

I have bought one month ago an onyx m90 on web site

https://www.onyx-boox.com

Till now my order is still confirmed and not shipped.

Do you experienced such a big delay in delivery?

I also write a ticket but they don't replay to it.

Maybe is it better to send an email?

Thanks you in advance for your replay.

Best regards

Hi. Sure, I have the same issue. I have ordered mine some weeks ago and still nothing. But, I have the information from the local dealer, that there is delay in manufacturing. Maybe because they fix malfunctions, I am not sure.

In this case I would cancel the order. I've got information Onyx will upgrade the m90/91 very soon. The new model will get more memory (4GB) and the current big problem with the IR and sensitive buttons will be finally solved. IR and capacitive buttons will be changed to regular buttons. Just be patient a couple of months yet.

Hmm, is this definitive? I do not suppose early buyers can upgrade their devices as well?

It seems using technological innovations is not necessarily a good idea.
What about the speaker-magnet/digitizer problem?

That is great news, provided the buttons work well. In theory getting away from mechanical increases reliability, but I would rather have something that might wear out and break someday than something that is fiddly and flaky from day one.

I also hope that early buyers will be able to upgrade their devices. Having now used M90 for couple of days I can only confirm the issues/problems brought out beforehand. However, despite these it is really a great piece for reading.

As an academic I (want to) use highlighting lot, and for the future development of firmware, it would be very good to have the possibility to see full annotations when clicking on 'All Annotations' button - i.e. at the moment one sees only one row of text with the annotation, and when clicking on it this takes user to the page with annotation in the book. But as the device is indeed slow, then it would be better just to increase the size of the box with annotation on the first click, and on the second click user can be taken to the page in book.

then that will be a disastrous news for us pre-orderred users.....

Well if it's true, we can lobby them to upgrade our existing devices, coz it's unfair to treat your customers differently.
