Looks like the Onyx M92 is the ideal reader in her opinion, without mentioning what are the good points in detail.
We knew befoe that the display is excellent ...

geronimo,
If you would like to ask me to review M92, too, than you could do it in more polite manner

I spent so much time providing this forum's users with information about JBC because not much honest information about JBC was available at that time. Since a lot of mystery was going on around JBC at that time (together with the lack of the honest information), there was the interest expressed by some forum's users wishing to learn more about JBC. I tryed to help them with that.
As far as M92, there are A LOT of information ALREADY available. For example, you can look at Spanish forum (Google can translate it for you if you need to):
http://www.lectoreselectronicos.com/...Boox-M92-Black.
If you want me to compare JBC and M92 and post some pictures, I certainly can do that. There is also another user at this forum (
Friday13th) who owns now both M92 and JBC. He seems to be more positive toward JBC than I am. Maybe he can do this comparison if you need it.
Personally, I don't think it even makes sense to compare JBC with M92, Kindle DXG, Sony T1, iPad 3, since JBC lives in completely different dimension. JBC is kind of cheap, low-end and low quality electronic device which is not priced respectively. Who would, for example, compare iPhone 4S with Motorola phone? Yes, there is the market share for Motorola phone since it priced much better than iPhone. And some people voluntarily choose, for example, Motorola and not iPhone 4s, since the price is more important for them than quality and additional features that iPhone offers. In my opinion, JBC badly looses to all of high-end eReaders practically in every important area (except the battery life as some JBC's users noted): dark grey backround of eInk screen (which causes big eye strain for some people, including myself), slow speed, annoying ghosting, very limited reading features (for example, absence of automatic page alignment for PDF files, page margines cannot be changed, and etc, etc, etc - believe me (or you can read the posts from other JBC's owners) - this list is VERY long). And all this stuff would be OK (and expected) for very low-end electronic device (like JBC is) if JBC would be priced respectively (MUCH less than $500 as it is priced now). Maybe, if JBC would be priced let's say around $170-180, than it would be ideal device for some people and I would understand it. But even with this much lower price JBC woudn't be for me - I would rather save money and buy high-end eReader which I can truly enjoy. But this is due to my own personality since I hate the junk stuff. My philosophy is "Do things WELL or don't do them at all". I am kind of perfectionist which might not be very good thing over all. But I am who I am and this is the part of my character. We all are humans and we all are different
