Quick coloured highlighting is also a nice addition (as well as a coloured screen) but those are obviously extras.

Reading and annotating these on a computer or regular tablet is bad for our eyes and not very efficient for marking up text. What we want is an experience as close to working with actual paper as possible. We don't care about other bells and whistles (we can get those from out regular tablets). Give us a solid large ereader for reading and marking up texts - and we WILL buy your product. I guarantee you.

I'm faculty, too. And I spent many hours on M96 to make it works for academic purposes but I gave up because both hardware and software are not good at all. Now I'm using a Xperia Z3 Tablet because I notice Sony IPS screen doesn't strain my eyes after hours of papers reading if I use Lux App (Night Mode 4740k). I'm allergic to any device backlight in special blue light but I can use my Xperia z3 Tablet for hours everyday (battery is awesome on this device) , its hardware is truly recommendable combined with apps like: ezpdf reader pro, moon+ reader pro, GMD Immersive (for controlling full screen), Button Savior (non root), Puffin Browser, Lux, etc...
