After some other days of use of the N96ML I would like to provide some more feedback.

1) Reader stuck in standby.

Yesterday, for the second time since I bought it, the reader got stuck in standby and I could not turn it on in any way. I had to do a soft reset.
I am not sure if this can be related to the cover but, honestly, is really annoying.

2) Onyx Neo Reader lost all my notes!

I was working on one PDF file and taking notes on one page as I always do. Then accidentally I closed the book using "quit" from the menu and when I opened it again I noticed that notes on the page I was reading before closing the file were not there anymore
I then tried to go through other pages where I before was tasking notes (we are talking about almost 80 pages of the pdf with several notes on them) and all of them are note there anymore... sh*t!
Then I tried to take a note, close the file and open it again and simply the reader is not saving anymore any note. To have it working again I had to export the PDF with notes and sart working on this exported file.

I then moved to a different book to check the behavior of notes on it and it seems that now notes are saved. But I am not happy AT ALL. I lost a lot of notes and it seems that this is a sort of bug. I remember that there was a previous review of the reader where someone else had to export notes. Very, very bad. I am wondering if the issue is happening after some amounts notes or after closing/opening the file several times.

3) Handwriting

I still consider the handwriting very good. It's not like using paper and pen but after a bit of practice on how to write with the stylus looks really good. My problem was (and partially still is) that the pen is too bold even if I use the thinnest line, so sometimes letters I write are not clear.
Another thing I don't like is the button on the pen. Very useful to start taking notes without opening menus (you click button and start writing, from now on the note menu is active) but too easy to be clicked while writing... and if you do that the line starts to be incredibly thin so that if you are underlining it simply stops to do it.

4) Missing a quick bookmark button on reader.

One thing I think should be implemented as priority is a quick way to open bookmarks and/or have tabbed bookmarks (this would be a lot better)... I mean to have maybe 3/5 tabs where you have latest bookmarks opened. In this way you can jump from one page to anther in a quick way, instead of clicking several buttons before reaching the bookmark you need.

5) books library organization to improve.

I think that there is a lot to improve also on the organization of books in library... still too much confusing and if you have a lot of books it's a bit unconfortable to find what you search for.
