And there seems to be no professional planning of the features and the interrelations they cause because of the bad programming style. Just guessing.
It seems to me that they do not have a person with the "vision" and analytic mind. And ergonomy is alien word for them...

For example. To put headphones socket and volume buttons to the bottom edge is not comfortable. And so I use M92 upside down. Placement of menu icon in lower left corner is also suboptimal, it requires long hand moves, the hand often hides the icon and the move often might be to unnatural angle - against body. The whole status bar should be at top and the menu icon as close to center as possible, maybe a bit to the right from centre (the hand has space to move and the angle is more natural). There must be one click to switch main tools (now 2 or 3). I do not use many features just because it is difficult to access them. I know that those are little things and they will not appear in feature list, but make the "experience" much better.

So, they may have good or not so good programmers, who knows. But for sure they do not have a good sw analytic (designer), if they have any...

Why do I have to use 3rd party sw (OTFM - file manager!!!) to setup sleep and switch-off times to values that suit me. The Onyx setup dialog for this feature is a bad joke...

But anyway, I like M92. I am satisfied customer. I just see that with not that much effort and understanding what is important and what not so much, it could be much better.

I will send some document samples.

And concerning comics/paper mode. Maybe it might be handy to add possibility switch between left to right and right to left movement. People from countries where right to left direction of writing should confirm, if it is needed. That is if they start in right column or not. And if comics "stripes" also go from right to left.
