@2holdon:
Onyx and Booxtor are trying to provide something that companies with much more resources (like Amazon, Apple, sony etc.) refuse to provide or provide at a prohibitory price (like the digital paper product from Sony). I think that a good e-ink device on which you can annotate PDFs and take notes would have great commercial success (mainly because it is much more easy on the eyes than conventional tables). For years Booxtor and Onyx are trying to create such a device. The M92 almost became this device, however it exhibited some quite nasty bugs. E.g. the pen stopping to function if left near the screen (because of some power management issue) and annotations containing straight lines not being merged correctly to PDFs. I believe that the power management issue is resolved with the M96 and as for the merging bug, we have to see what happens with this neo PDF reader Booxtor is preparing.
If you want to have such a device, there really isn't much choice out there (within a reasonable price range).
