Hi!, I was the owner of a Boox A60, so I know of Onyx software rough edges. I tinkered a lot with it and on average my experience was satisfactory. I'm now the owner of a paperwhite, pretty happy with my general purpose reading.
So I was hoping you could share your experience with the onyx boox max, limiting to
academic PDFs usage.
This is the only "neutral" review I found, and it's a bit old.
The price of these devices is quite significant on my budget, but with the Carta dpi increase a second hand DPT-S1 doesn't seem a choice (the cheapest winning bid I found is ~700USD on ebay).
I also read good reviews about Booxtor's international customer service, living on South America where these devices are not sold it's worth to consider that.
So what I want to hear about is (please limit to pdf's):
1- What was your experience with heavy +100MB PDFs?
2- What was your experience browsing pdf books (search functions)?
3- What was your experience making highlights and annotations?
4- How does an exported pdf looks like after highlights, notes and annotations? (Any sample is welcome
)
5- Do you consider that the weight of the device affected your experience? Do you think the ~130g difference with the DPT-S1 would have changed that experience?
6- Cloud synchronization: What was your experience with google drive and/or dropbox / anything else?
Ideally I'd go for a DPT-RP1, but seeing the Japanese release date on June 5th, I guess the English release can't be earlier that late September / October.
Do you think it's worth the wait for the Next Gen of readers, considering they'll come with the same screen as the Max Carta?
Thanks for your comments.
