There are some comments on the way this product is steadily developped (as opposed to perfect and finished) and how Booxtor is involved in the feedback process with Onyx.
I bought a Sony PRS-T1 when it was released. As it was my first e-reader I wasn't careful enough when I chose it: It was impossible to scribble whenever zoomed-in and scribbles made when the font was increased to a readible size could not be seen in the regular view.
So I complained to the customer service and got simply NO response.
You may be unhappy about an unfinished product - but please be happy about the problems being fixed quick and someone = Booxtor with a direct and influential link to the developers. That's far better than with Sony.
And now it's me "exploiting" this relationship (actually it's no exploitation: in my opinion, products sould be released flawless - but that seems to be too optimistic):
1. When I select the finest scribble "pen", my scribbles are invisible until select erasing scetches or a bolder shape. Very inconvenient.
2. Using scribbling a lot (and also the menu because of the problem described above and because of not being familiar with the system yet), the battery shows only 77% left, even though it was a 97% three hours ago. That's worse than the PRS-T1 and not what I expected from 8000 page-turns. Does it mean that the screen was refreshed ~ 2000 times? :-/ More information when energy is actually used would be great. Can I e.g. disable WiFi (or see the status)?
EDIT: Now it dropped from 73 to 71% after one our which is quite acceptable. Maybe 97% was a wrong number due to ongoing charging. I'll keep reporting.
3. Some (optional?) shortcut symbols / a toolbar for the annotation tools would be very convenient, in particular between making and erasing a sketch and annotation, respectively (as continuing with the former annotation mode is the most likely action after erasing an mistake). A good solution (as far as I can see ;-) ) is to have two corresponding symbols instead of one between the page slider and the clock, one active, the other one inactive.
4. A tool for highlighting or underlining that neatly follows the words. I know that it already exists in the annotation mode, but it's quite annoying to click on OK each time (since I don't wish to actually write something in most annotations.
5. This forum is actually not the perfect tool for new customers to get access to firmware updates etc. Couln't find anything on Onyx's webpage; in addition, this forum and this thread in particular were difficult to discover in Google.
Thanks in advance for fixing it!
PS: FW used is now 1.7; I was experiencing similar problems as described above when upgrading. My SD card is from Panasonic and has 8 GB and speed 6. It worked, however, after removing it before restarting the device.
