I beleive that now they feel pressured by the presence of JetBook Color and PocketBook (not sure about this one) The healthy competition (I am hopping here that Ectaco will keep their promises) will be to our benefit in the end. Last edited by PF4Mobile; 02-23-2012 at 10:59 AM. |

Hi guys,
Should I public any betta firmware versions for M92 here in the future? (Sometimes I am just surprised of unexpected exorbitant negative reaction and something like spitefulness of some guys here, when they (or somebody else here) find a bug in the software.) I was thinking, there is something like curiosity, to be the first to try out new functions and to help in developing optimal software. It is eventually just a question of a couple minutes to go back to the original stabile 1.6 and therefore no risk ... Peace! Last edited by Booxtor; 02-23-2012 at 01:24 PM. |

I wonder why the Entourage Edge had to give up. They came much closer than anybody else to a solution. Should the M92 improve I might give it another try. But I still hope some major player takes the risk to enter this market segment in a big way and reasonable prices. Keep on reading ... |

Generally it is fine if Onyx publishes beta versions and I guess there would be no negative reactions. |

I also mentioned previously that I see hope and progress so I guess my criticism was constructive and pondered If you stop publishing beta releases here you are going to hurt all parties involved: the community, the manufacturer and yourself. We all have something in this so keep doing what you are doing but just ignore the stronger critics. |

I need somebody to confirm if this is a bug or not
PDF Reading Landscape mode Select Sketching Select white color for sketching draw a line on the doc. You are not going to see it Go back to tools, annotations, change the color to black you are going to see the line now go to annotations again, select the eraser and delete the line now the line is deleted, you would expect the current color to be black when you go back and select the sketching again no that is not the case, it will still be white |

Biggest challenge with M92: finding the white stylus on a completely blank piece of paper. try it after reading 100 pages on the ereader
Warning: if you scriblle a lot it is a good idea to clean the tip of the pen and the ereader surface as well. It happen to me that the my pen run over a little piece of dust not sure what it was but it started scratching the screen while I was underlining a piece of text! This is more of an operational issues thatn an ereder issue! Feature request: the configuration screen shall not close after each selection you make. It should have its own "Close" button. It is really annoying to have to go through the same sequence when you change something For instance every time I open a document I have to configure the layout to :"Scroll Pages", set the zoom to what I need to be and to select the annotations tools that I want. For that it should be enough to open the "Control panel" once, make all the slections and close instead of having to open the Control panel EVERY TIME! |

Workflow related:
As mentioned above the closest mode to reading on real paper is to read in landscape mode. There you should use zoom between two points to select the best font size I just discovered that some PDfs have the so called registration marks, indicated with a B letter in this picture Those marks can are really helpful to select the zoom window. |

the config menu closes after each setup step. No new button to close Setup Menu it is needed. The tap to menu icon (on toolbar) or Home button already closes the menu. |

Petrified for a couple of minutes
I thought I had to send it back This must be a software bug, not sure what could be the cause. For the picture showing one line of dead like pixels I tried a refresh, that did not fix the problem However on the next page everything looked fine Last edited by PF4Mobile; 02-28-2012 at 03:29 PM. |

I remember seeing a post about the same problem about a year ago, but I can't remember which device it was on. My idea at the time was that it had to do with the scaling and display of the pen strokes (I vaguely recall the problem only happened with scribbles on an image that wasn't being displayed at native resolution). If you zoom the page, do the scribbles still look broken?

OK ..trying to repsond to your questions I found the reason for this.
In the picture showing the "defect" you notice a "78" number that indicates the end of a page. Because the layout is "scroll page" actually you do not see that the next page begins...so basically the scribble was covering two pages... We discovered a feature and a bug! Scribbling can cover two pages (this is the feature) and the page transition should be somehow marked with a line (this is the bug) just in case the document does't show it very well In my case this is a CHM converted to a PDF ...I did not pay attention to page transitions, poor job and the document doesn;t show the page transitions very well (not well marked) This helps the reading but might create confusions like this one. thanks guys PF |
