Hello everybody,

I am looking for a 9 inch eink tablet. I found a lot of reviews which say that the Onyx M92 and the Icarius Excel (which are very similar since the second one is based on the first) are quite good. I was decided to buy the Onyx M92 because its firmware seems to be updated more often.

However I just found this test :

I was quite surprise to see that some major features (for my perspective) of the excel Icarius are not available in the Onyx M92, namely:
- has a dictionary which can be accessed offline (I am not english - as you may have realised... - so maybe I found it more important than you)
- has directory organization
- has an external memory slot
- has a search browser

Strangely, these differences have not been mentionned in the other tests that I found. So I am wondering about the following questions :
- Is the test correct ?
- Don't you think that these differences are significant ?
- For you is it more important than a firmware updated on a regular basis ?

Thanks in advance for your help !
