I have been thinking of buying the Onyx Boox N96\N96ML but I have a few concerns based on what others said so I would appreciate it if people who have experience with one can help me.

Scribbling -
*Scribbling\typing on a PDF and then it won't save it. - Is it a bug on all reader apps or just the built-in reader app? I've read there is a solution and they are working on a fix but at the moment how bad is it?
*On the N96(capacitive touch), if you put your hand on the screen while scribbling it might interfer?

Dictionary -
*Is the dictionary convenient to use and is it possible to have 2 languages at the same time?
*Is it possible to implement a dictionary app from the store on reader apps?

Page turning -
*Some reader apps on the N96ML don't support the page turn buttons. - In this case will it be a better idea getting the N96 capacitive touch model and turn pages using the finger?

Front light -
*Is there any reason to pick the front light model if I plan to read mostly in places with proper lighting?

Overall it seems like the capacitive touch model would suit me better but I would like to know what others think, I am looking for a device to mainly read PDF's on and the N96 seems like the best 9.7 e-ink device atm(?). Would you recommend getting it or going for a tablet?

Thanks.
