There are some problems that I am still experiencing and I hope they can be fixed with new firmware updates.
1. Zooming and random page flipping. I was on a bus yesterday and couldn't read anything with the reader because it flipped pages and changed zoom levels all the time (1-5 page flips in one go) in 5 minutes I managed to read about ½ page.
2. The devices get stuck "thinking" sometimes it takes forever to do a simple thing like a page flip and I have no idea why, I usually think is due to the IR-sensor not reacting to what I've done and retry. The device will then, after a while, execute every command which usually ends up with several page flips or zoom changes. Sometimes it drops out to the menu and all my actions are then executed and it ends up doing something I did not intend to do.
3. The device still uses quite a lot of battery when in stand by mode.
4. Page numbering is strange when reading e-pubs. It seems to read the page numbers from the book itself so when I flip one page it says it flipped three (the screen is a lot larger that the size the book was designed for I guess), quite confusing at first.
5. Is not really a bug but when using wifi and surfing to the boox site the bookmark is only to the chinese version and I can not find a link on that page for the english version. 
The IR-button is rendering the device useless in some cases and the slow periods makes it annoying, but I like it otherwise. |
After some time using the M90, I'm happy in general terms. However there are several things i hope Onyx guys solve in future firmware versions:
1. Rotation of pages affects everything. When you decide to rotate the pages in a document, if you leave the document, the main menu is also rotated. And rotation is only in one direction, so you need to rotate three times to put it in the original direction (this could be good if you prefer to have the buttons on the right
)
2. Zoom and page turning. If you make zoom in, you would need to move from top to bottom in the page. But, when you turn the page you are still at the bottom. So, yu need to go to the top after every page turn to start reading the page.
