I usually hold and read on the eReader in 180 degree orientation, that way it is more comfortable for me to press this key and i use it often
It will be great if Onyx develops a soft key button for refreshing the screen. This button should be present in all the apps - built in the top menu bar preferably.

Thanks Feher, very useful. On the i86 it is a 2s depressing of the forward key (so that others know).

It doesn't go in the status bar, instead I launch it using swapps launcher.
If you really want it in the status bar, I might get to it someday but I can't promise anything.
Also, remember that you can turn the light on and off by a long press on the round button. |
Very much appreciated Nivieru. I'm code illiterate, and highly envious right now.

And thanks Nate The Great, HarryT, & Phogg. I'm intend to buy a £1 stylus on amazon to give it a shot. Couldn't find a "foam" tipped one.

Another issue, as it were, that could be of interest. Has anybody else found that the i86 battery life went a lot further for its first few charges? I rarely use the backlight, and I use the reader only for reading (no apps, browsing, etc.) – I want to say that it would last for weeks at first (~ 2 months ago) with this usage – perhaps weeks with one or two brief charges when transferring papers etc. However, recently and quite suddenly it is a lot less impressive, which started before – and has been exacerbated by – my installation of Nova Launcher & Xodo reader. Having been fully charged this morning, and following roughly 7–8 hours usage (no backlight, no wifi, etc.) in the library today, the battery is currently displaying a 58 % charge. I can't give an exact comparison, but I image that this is roughly a x8 quicker discharge that when I first began using the i86 (~ 2 months) ago.
(And it hasn't been mishandled in any way; and there are no extra "background" apps / functions running)
