Jayjee, you practically anticipated everything I would have written shortly ...

I add some other observations:

- I prefer to cancel with the "rubber" function rather than with the top of the stylus, because it seems to me that too much pressure is needed on the screen with the latter. For this I would like to have two primary icons: pen (with the last saved setting) and rubber (to erase with the tip of the stylus). In this way, writing and deleting does not require switching to different submenus

- I have not yet understood, when I note in a PDF, the "save" mechanism. It seems to me that you save automatically with the change of page. I would eliminate the upper band completely with the save icons and the other two arrows, by setting the automatic saving by default.

- The "Normal-A2 mode" switch in Neoreader should appear when I touch the screen in the middle of the main menu, while now we need to go to "settings" and then make a passage in more

- In the "Home" screen, I would add an icon that allows you to shut down, restart or put the Max in stand-by, to avoid having to press the physical "power" button

- You need to optimize battery life with Wi-Fi. It seems to me that it consumes too much.

- Allow the "Browser", "E-Mail" and "Play Store" apps to navigate with Bluetooth tethering. The Max connects to my Nokia 808 through the app "Blue DUN" but it seems to me that the apps are designed only for navigation via Wi-Fi. It would be interesting to check the battery consumption with the navigation through bluetooth tethering

In general I can say that I am fully satisfied with Max2. For a musician it's really the best you can ask for. The reading is excellent, the device is always fast and responsive, writing with the stylus is excellent. I do not need to install alternative apps for reading or browsing the internet because the default ones are excellent.

I do not feel like using it in live performances. I tried to use it both at the piano and directing an orchestra and the page change happens, let's say, at 95% of the touches. In the other 5% it may not turn or sometimes the menu appears. Maybe the page change is affected by the fingers too hot or dry (when I'm at the piano) or touches too fast when you are in tension and do not calibrate the touch well.
