And that's exactly what I mean....
If Amazon only released one firmware as buggy as Onyx (and they have already invested years) they'd be out of business...
And Onyx is still doing their cheapo thing...
Don't get me wrong, I would really like to have a 10" reader but at the moment, even my Kindle Keyboard provides a better experience than any of their devices. I can read, highlight, annotate and most importantly, get the stuff off the device with a freeware tool called klippings... Or I could just use their cloud service to sync my docs and store my annotations... And that is a device for a hundred bucks, around for more than a year...
I'm really not trying to praise Amazon here, I just want to point out that Onyx (and Pocketbook) generally give a damn about their customers' needs, what they are really trying to do is beyond me. I'd gladly (really) spend 350 on a 10" reader that could annotate my PDFs properly, something that a 3 dollar Android app will do, but Onyx are just so terribly ignorant when it comes to making something usable, it's a shame. When you have to reformat your device, you'll lose your work, and believe me, you will have to reformat it sooner or later. When a database file gets corrupted (and this will sooner or later happen too), you use your work. These ereaders are the longest living beta products ever made and I would not entrust the markup of my students' essays to them...
