I'm grateful to Onyx and their distributors such as Booxtor that they keep working on these niche devices with whatever resources they can afford. I also want better software and hardware but have to be realistic.

I wish they would just open source the stack and let us freely update the device. It's not like there is some magic intellectual property in the software, especially that they already use Android which is probably 95% of the SW part. Looking into the past, I believe community would do a much better job, like it did with my phone or my mp3 player.
I'm fine if they work on their official version etc. for regular consumers, but why not let the rest work their way. They wouldn't lose anything. I'm really buffled that after 2+ years my reader has still problems with READING a book. I use no features, just reading and yet it still fails quite often (stucking, freezing, forgetting the page I last read etc.). Isn't that ridiculous for a device whose sole role should be reading?
I'm realistic, I'm fine with the HW actually. Maybe not super fast etc. but it's ok. It's just the software that sucks big time and I don't believe it gonna change (soon m96 will be off the shelf, same as m92 was etc. and we will get 0 updates)
