Thanks for the review! Speaking of 4.4 - has there been any official word from onyx that the device will get upgraded? If not, I'm thinking we may all want to write to
sales@onyx-international.com and ask that they give an official word that an update is coming.
Update: Read on the booxtor site that 4.4 is coming. Happier now.
Also, I'd love for their to be an option to avoid the onyx 'launch' page and just go straight to a normal android launcher - I'm sure there's a software engineer that put some effort into the onyx epub/pdf reader but I don't see myself using it. Haven't tried experimenting with alternative launchers yet.
