Thanks for the great discussion here, guys - especially to jbaach for your thorough testing!
I, too, am looking for a large 9" reader for PDFs.
The M92 looks very suitable, but I have noticed in jbaach's videos
that the touchscreen often doesn't do what he wants (misses a click or two).
I would prefer a keyboard, especially for typing emails, since I don't and won't have a smartphone/tablet. It seems there is such a device - the Jinke/Hanlin V90.
The hardware looks very similar, it's also using an e-ink pearl display, and
despite some reports of a 400 MHz CPU, the majority claims 800 MHz.

Here's the meager information I have scraped together:

What do you think? I'm a bit hesitant to buy it sight unseen, we don't know much about the firmware.
