Hi Mono,

You seem to speak on behalf of all of us with a lot confidence! As a matter of fact, you're completely wrong: txt and doc functionality is of *basic* importance and not supplementary, for me, and for celtic girl and for probably many others-- as an editor and academic, I receive and have to annotate several hundred pages of doc files each month for my work, and I'd like to do that on an e-ink screen because the lcd hurts my eyes and printing is expensive.

Moreover, .doc and .txt is advertised as one of the main advantages of the m92, that it can handle those files, and the advertisement has raised my expectations and that of others. If boox thinks doc and txt capability is irrelevant, or somehow less important, then it should not claim to be able to handle those files properly.

Doc and txt do not allow scribles and text does not allow highlight. To be stored in the file. Anyway even doc is not probably always diplayed correctly for more complex files. Even Word from Microsoft has/used to have problems to do so...

Txt and doc funkcionality is suplementar (for case one ocasionaly needs it) and not intended for serious utilization.
