Onyx M96 software issues

OK, I played a little and time to list annoying issues. I wonder if there will be any response to that? I will probably file a formal complaint, unless a solution is found.

1. Dictionary support is an unknown
a) OnyxDict (default tool) is a mistery - 0 information on using it, device comes with no dictionary installed, no manual, no nothing
b) Installed ColorDict from play store - crashes everytime I want to go back to read the book (then I need to double click the word and choose dictionary to lookup the word again - what an annoyance)
c) Installed QuickDic (which is mentioned in the product description as supported) - when I highlight the word and click dictionary, QuickDic is opened without this word being chosen. So what kind of support is that?

2. FBReader
Device comes with builtin readers. After trying to read the book and lookup the words in dictionary, FBReader started to crash, now it doesn't even open the book, it crashes instantly and wants to send a report.

3. Updating
My build num is 2014-07-21_21-11_dev_d4505fe, whenever I go to OTA update it tells me there is a new version (2014-07-23...), I'm downloading it, everything updates, upgrades etc. and after restart OnyxLanucher crashes. When I go to OTA update I'm still shown the old build number. Does this work at all?

At this point I am disappointed. The device may be nice, but the software is in many regards garbage and does not work as advertised (e.g. where's that improved dictionary support?!). Fortunately, I currently do not need scribbling, which is probably even more buggy.
