Hi everyone!

New to this forum and to the Boox products as well, but recently purchased an M96.

So far I'm really impressed with this device, even with the bugs I have already encountered with its software. The features included out of the box in the onyx Neo reader app put most e-ink readers to shame in terms of its versatile pdf management.

Having said this, there are a few key areas where the software could use some improvement. In an effort to help that process along, I decided to come on here and list a few of the errors I have noticed so far. Perhaps Booxtor and his team can release an update which will address these issues and fully unlock the potential of this e-ink reading device.

The bugs I have noticed so far:

-NO export functionality! (at least that I can see)---This was a huge reason for my purchasing the device. Would be great to be able to scribble notes on the pdfs and then be able to keep them by exporting a separate, marked up copy of the pdf (like what some video reviews of the m92 showed). However, as it stands, when I tap the export button nothing seems to happen. Even just having an option whereby one could simply keep the notes they scribble on the one pdf (e.x. they appear in the pdf even after the device has been turned off)without being able to export would be appreciated.

-Certain apps will not open---Adobe reader and Adobe pdf reader in particular.

-Scribble bar page turning glitch-----When the scribble bar is open in Onyx neo reader, and I press the page turn button, the device often skips several pages ahead instead of simply moving to the next page.

-File renaming issue--Files do not always keep their new name once they have been renamed, and usually do not display it in the home screen or when being read.

-TOC button does not seem to have a function---It does not seem to matter what pdf I open in Onyx neo reader, but clicking on TOC simply takes me to a blank screen with the tab headings "TOC", "Bookmark", and "Annotation". Not sure what the function is supposed to be exactly, but clicking on any of those ta heading also does nothing.

Suggested Functionality to be added:

-An in app accessible tab to more easily switch between several open documents. I seem to remember seeing a review video of another device (I think it was the M92 (?)) which had this capability.

My apologies if these have all been heard before, but perhaps it helps to have these bugs listed in one place.

If anyone has any advice on a current update or method which might fix some of these issues please let me know.

Thanks for giving this a read over!
