Hi all

I have been using an Onyx Boox C67ML for a few months now and though I mostly love it there are some things which are really bugging me:

First problem: after 5-10 page turns the next time I try to turn the page wether using a button or the touchscreen the ebook goes back a few pages instead of forward! This is a huge annoyance. Does anyone else have this problem and know how to get rid of it? BTW this happens with Epubs, Pdfs and Mobi books.

Second problem: can one change the configuration of the buttons? I really want the forward button to be on the left side as I am lefthanded and it is always a pain trying to reach the other side. Or can one change the configuration of the touchscreen so that pressing on the left turns a page forward? Really miss this feature from my old pocketbooks.

3rd problem: the reader takes so long to start that I have it in Standby the whole time so that it is on rightaway when I need it. However this does cost a lot of battery life so that more often than not, especially considering it is an einkreader, the battery is empty. Any workaround for this? I would not mind waiting a few seconds but the half a minute to a minute the reader takes to start is really too long I find. Also the automotic turning on/off using the Cover does not work if it is turned off completely.

4th problem: the brightness is always automatically on when I turn the ebookreader on. Can I change this setting so that I would have to turn it on when I want to? Because this costs a lot of battery especially on daylight where one does not see if the backlight is on or not.

These few problems aside: love the thing! Definitely is very fast and powerful even when it comes to handling heavy PDF science files.

Any help is very welcome!
