I just got my onyx boox i86 a couple of days ago and I like it a lot, but there are some things I think would be good to adress.

Q1: Refresh.
Using stock Oreader. I set the setting to always refresh. I change the boldness of to 1. and the text looks good. when I change the page the text get thinner and with more rugged contures. It seems that i86 does not refresh.
Is there a manual way to refresh the pages or other workaround?
It can be best seen with small text.

Q2: TTS
I promptly rooted using this method to install IVONA tts with voice Amy (I recommend this voice) on it.
TTS was the biggest reason why I bought it compared to pocket book inkpad.

Stock Oreder has tts but it pauses a very long time between sentences and I can't make it start anywhere I like on the page. It just starts from the top of the page and sometimes it hangs as well.

is there a workaround or is there an other good pdf viewer with good tts and dictionary support for this device?

Q3: Dictionary
How can I get rid of the Chinese in the dictionary answers?
I moved the Chinese dictionary folder from the dictionary directory but I still get the Chinese explanations.
I use Oxford dictionary online (paid service). It has more words and explanations than the oxford in my i86. Does anyone have a suggestion of a more comprehensive dictionary for the i86. I don't need translation but if you have a suggestion for Eng-Swe dictionary I'm all ears.

Q4:Programs in the background.
How do switch between programs in the background and fore ground.
I saw this video but I don't know how he manages it.
