I'm just bitching about their hardware design on BOOX Chinese forum.
Max Carta has great e-ink screen. But their button layout is way beyond acceptable after two week usage.
I owned a Kindle DXG. I loved it although it is 10 years old design. Its on/off button is on the top. It is a latch so that it prevents users accidentally turning it off. Its page up/down button is on the middle of the right hand side. It is very convenient to hold it for reading purpose.
Now let's talk about Max Carta button layout. Its on/off button is located in the bottom. This silly design makes it impossible to put it on my desktop book holder without pressing power button. If I want to hold it for reading on the left or the right edges, because the page up/down button is in the bottom, I have to change my hand position to flip the page.
I support Made in China. But I'm not that optimistic towards design in China. They are just not there yet.
