Onyx M96 - Performance

Hi all,

Am considering purchasing an M96.
However I have a few questions, and concerns - partly because of mainly negative reviews on amazon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Onyx-BOOX-M9.../dp/B00M1RKK1Y

I am looking for a unit to do writing, PDF reading and some browsing.
If you guys have some time I'd very much appreciate your experience with using the unit.

1 - Writing
How does the unit work with bluetooth keyboards? Does it keep the devices paired OK between uses? How stable is this tech?
Can the unit do handwriting recognition natively? IE, write to TXT file. If not, will Google Handwriting Tool work OK? Any experience with this?

2 - PDF reading
This seems a pretty solid feature. Any thoughts on this? How does DropBox sync work for file management?

3- Browsing
I understand this is a minor feature for this device (and e-inks in general). However:
Is there the option to disable automatic loading of media/pics? If so, how does this affect page load times? What's the average for blogs/article/text-based webpages?
Does the device automatically select mobile versions of websites, where available?

Any other general info would be great, or links to forum posts. Are people happy with the device, would they buy again?

Many thanks in advance,
N*
