Do you mind taking a short video showing the reading functionality with the quality mode/ A2 refresh mode please?
Also, what would your personal recommendation be when it comes to reading only? Go for the M96 or does the M92 do the job aswell?

I don't have a fancy camera or a mobile for that matter so the quality of the video is not great (my phone tells me it's HD
) but hopefully enough to show you how flashing changes as you change the modes.
First I use M96 in 'quality first' with full page refresh every time I turn the page. Then I reduce the full refresh to every 3 pages (for me every 9 pages is sufficient enough). Then I switch to 'performance first' mode with full refresh every page. Finally I reduce the full refresh to every 3 pages again.
Here is
the link in case the below doesn't work.
Regarding the *personal* recommendation I will tell you why I bought M96 without knowing whether there would any performance difference. The reason is that I don't think M92 will get a lot of attention from Onyx any more (last update 2013.12.04).
I was happy with M92, it suited my needs well enough despite the
known imperfections. M96 feels sleeker and is faster which especially matters when you don't read books cover to cover but in a more of a random access manner (e.g. reference books or textbooks). Some things that were in M92 are still to appear in M96, some things that worked in M92 don't quite work in M96 yet (
example I mentioned before - it will likely affect you until fixed), there are some things I would like to be done differently in M96 (e.g. the progress bar is now hidden). I hope these things will get resolved one day, on the other hand I wouldn't have such hope for M92 now.
Since the difference in price between M92 and M96 is almost negligible and M92 is likely not to get any better I would go for M96.
