I was a bit disappointed with the M96 at first. Buying the device upon its release felt like being a beta-tester... Now, with the 1.7.0 firmware most of the problems which really annoyed me are gone. Neoreader works very well with pdfs and epubs, while Oreader gives me more control over epubs if I need it. I downloaded some dictionaries and extra apps for DJVU etc.
Dropbox, the mail app, web browser and other non-basic apps are quirky on the device but ok for occasional use. I wouldn't recommend the M96 to anyone who wants an e-ink android tablet. The M96 is just a big screen e-ink reader with emergency android functionality :P
I hate Onyx's production "strategy" - release hardware as fast as possible, release functional firmware year later, and I won't be buying any of their devices in the future. What I would buy however, would be a kind of Kindle HDX reader... It wouldn't have all the options android devices have but I'm sure it'd give a pleasant pdf reading experience. I believe the Sony offers just that, but with the present price tag I'm not even considering it. And it's not that I have something against huge menus... I like to customise my devices and dig through the options, I can even root a device if necessary but with the M96 it's too much of a hassle.
