So it is not a mystery what should be implemented into the device.

They are using software they have to develop on their own - something that cannot be done by small company - or a big one.
Which relevant program would you recomend for the task?

What should be implemented into the device? It is mystery for me.

They have developed a fraction of software used in M92. Most of the software is a freeware (look at the About page). They only assembled it together and gave it user interface. Probably also had to write the drivers for screen, digitaizer and button (or used ones provided by producers).

You are right that user interface could be better, that they should include more functionality, that they should make better work on ergonomy of user interface, and so on.

But despite all this, there is not (to my knowledge) better appr. 10" e-ink touchscreen reader. We have two options. Cry and wait for ideal e-ink reader. Or put heads and hands together and use what is on the table.

You know, I come from ex-communist country. It was hard life, but it has tought us to handle any situation and to make the most utility from what is available.

With M92, we have good piece of hardware, we have API and probably complete source codes, there is plenty of free Linux applications. So, to my understanding it is very good start. If there is several people who understand Linux and who will spend their time to reshape M92, than it is not that much impotrant what support will Onyx give to firmware development.
