I went to check if there was new firmware available for the boox max, the old link of onyx i had bookmarked was dead so i wound up here which looks like their official site

https://onyxboox.com/firmware

The firmware they have up is a version for 2016 and at the beginning of this year i got the version for 1.8.1 off their old page they used to put firmware updates on.

Luckily the thing didn't recognize the update, it wasn't until after looking carefully that I realized what they have up is outdated. the firmware version they have posted is 1.7.5

I think I found a thread on this board about new android 4.4 update for all boox devices but it's unofficial or something? looks like they're marked 1.8.2 as seen here

Can anyone explain why onyx has old firmware posted as the latest? And has anyone tried this 1.8.2 update?
