First, keep in mind that I do not own any of these devices. I've been tempted to purchase the n96ml - an earlier thread detailed my difficulties in getting a response to my second PM to Boox. Because of this non-reponse, I just this morning ordered the Kobo Aura One. Here's the issue: I wanted to give my money to Boox, and it was not at all unreasonable for me to expect a response to my second PM requesting further clarification on shipping costs.

My understanding is that the DPI has NOT changed one whit on all of these devices. They are all the same.

The shell case has reported to be much improved over the M92 and M96, with less flex and with better protection to the screen.

The N96ml is the one that is front-lit, but there have been numerous reports that the light is not as bright as some owners would like it to be.

The Max, of course, is a different beast altogether.

I may still buy the Boox N96ml. I just don't feel confidence in their support staff to respond to general questions. I could, of course, simply order it from Amazon and then have my sister ship it here. I would end up paying customs, naturally.

If you're happy with your M92, then you should inquire about the cost of repair.

I agree with you that the potential and promise for a reading device of THIS size remains mostly unfulfilled. And that's a shame.
