Another point on the handling in pdf mode.

The M96 allows you to manually crop to the exact area of the text. This allows to get rid of any margin and get the biggest possible font size of an article. A great functionality.

However, once you start to change to the next page it gets messy.
I am being shown the bottom margin and some of the bottom text as next page. The following page (i.e. two page clicks) is then really the next page with the area cropped out.

But occasionally this does not work and you have to readjust the cropping. This is frustrating. A few more options would have been nice.

Referring to the Play Store partially helps but remember that those Apps are usually build for different screens so unexpected behavior may render seemingly good apps useless. E.g. it happens, that you get a completely black screen. Your only way out is to exit the app or even turn off the device if you feel completely lost (remember the home button does not get you to home...).

I see potential but at this stage this is more a prototype than anything to be sold at 300+ Euro.
