I think Onyx may be surprised at the complaints they receive on the M90 as it addresses a different market to their previous smaller units.

Whilst I used my BeBook for reading the odd novel, I use the M90 a lot for work PDFs, several hours a day. Yes, the screen is very good and generally although slow does the job (unless the battery drops below 2 bars!) but the firmware needs work.
I think they will attract a lot of negative customer statement as a result.

Onyx have a significant market share in the UK being sold though major supermarkets:

and the M90 situation is not what might be reasonably expected.
