It is demanding that I turn wifi on. I have the external address in settings. I do have other problems though - I tried connecting to the content server and failed with wifi off so I need to figure that out.

The color of the text in the action bar was dark grey, hard to read against the black of the action bar. I could read it, especially as I know what it says, but I prefer seeing the black-on-white that I get in the menu.

On the T62 it gives me light grey on black and looks good to me.

The scrollers work fine, or at least as fine as one can expect on an e-ink device. I turned them off because they take up space and pulling then just creates a flashing/smearing display that must settle before I know how far I went. It is faster to use the buttons. I suppose that using the scrollers would be better if I was operating on very long book lists, but I tend to group before paging so don't encounter that situation frequently.
I considered the T62 but in the end didn't want to deal with the tax consequences of shipping from China. My Afterglow 2 has excellent battery life (with WiFi off), minimal page turn delays, runs CC and Moon+ well, is very light, and was available from an EU supplier; satisfying my requirements. Perhaps if I actually had a T62 I would prefer it.

Scrolling on an Onyx device and scrolling on the T62 is worlds apart. The T62 is basically the same as an Illumina E653. Here's a video and about 7.5 minutes in it shows scrolling on a web page working very well.
