I finally received my N96ML too and I played a bit with it, even if not too much so far.
This is my first ebook reader and as I said before my goal is to use it to read PDF books taking notes on them like on a paper book plus prepare some notes on what I am studying. So from now on I will concentrate on this use and I will write something on what I think about it.
At the moment I tried to open one of my books (PDF), I arranged a decent zooming and I started taking notes on pages. I am using the embedded Onyx Neo Reader.
I confirm that the only way to have the zoom working having the page within the size of the screen is to select the zooming zone manually. Once done, all pages will be kept at the same level of the zoom and will not go out of the borders. I think Stardest suggested this and I can confirm this i sthe perfect way to work.
Taking notes is simply great! The writing is smooth enough and I feel confortable to write and underline almost like on paper books. One thing that I have to double check is the following: when you take notes on one page and then move to another page I am not sure if there are completely new notes associated. I mean if the system recognize that notes on a new page are in a sort of new session... thing is that when you want to delete notes you have two options: delete all or manually select what to remove. If you are taking notes on several pages and then you want to remove all notes on a single page if you use the "delete all" it is possible that you remove all notes from all pages. I have to check this and I will do it when I'll be back home.
Generally speaking, I confirm what already others said about the need of a task manager and, a lot more important, of an application switcher. For task manager I used one of the suggested software in a previous 3ad.
For application switching/multi-tasking I tried SwitchR but I don't really like to swipe on side to open it. I am searching for something that stays in the status bar or that can be associated with home button but so far I had no luck in my search.
I can also add that I successfully installed and configured Owncloud application from F-Droid store and is working perfectly.
Now I have a question

what do you mean with "Scribbler in quality mode"?

Yes, is same on N96ML.
