My issues as posted in the other thread and reposted here (sorry, hadn't noticed the newly opened thread):

- Google Play services is a problem for me as well, but I can see booxtor has promised a solution soon

- the Power button is really annoying, especially since it seems so easy to have been prevented. Of course booxtors solution works, but then you need to activate it every time you open a new document (or reopen an "old" one).
My workaround for now is an app called Rotation Control, with which I simply can rotate the whole screen 180°. Then the bindings of forward/backwards buttons are "wrong" (which can be changed for the Neoreader app, but not as easy for the rest of the apps), but onscreen page turns are still right and working.

- the scribble function (both in the reading app and the notes app) got the device to "hang", rendering it unresponsive for a couple of minutes (2-3). I have not yet found out what triggered this.

I am still looking for a way to display two pages side by side in landscape mode. Cannot find the function in the Neoreader app, and Mobilesheets app simply ignores when I try to adjust the setting - does not turn from protrait to landscape and does not display two pages either.

I have no issues with suddenly appearing pdfs in my library, only those files that I put into the "books" folder (which is the only one I let neoreader import), also when I rebuild the library.

I also have no issues to connect the boox max 2 as secondary monitor. Works like a charm, is just for me nothing I will use on a permanent basis, but it works as mdp has described. For word processing and the like - no problem at all.
I was wondering about the recommendation of using the charger with the monitor mode. If that drains the battery, then after my knowledge it is not good for the lifespan of the battery to charge it simultaneously.

Question (if offtopic here, I will post it elsewhere): is there a possibility to import a library with sublibraries mirroring a folder structure? I mean, e.g., if I copied my score collection with lots and lots of folders and files into the book folder, that the library automatically organized it as sublibraries according to the folder structure?)
