Hi all

I just got my Boox max 2 and so far it's better than my Sony dpt. I have a few questions and concerns though:

1.) The screen seems very delicate compared to the dpt. In some parts it is smooth and erases easily but in other parts I've noticed that I easily scratch it with the eraser. To circumvent this, I've stopped erasing all together. I'm wondering if there's any way to change the default erase option, for example, to erase without pressing down with the back of the pen. If this is not possible, can I put a screen protector on it without compromising the writing experience? If so what screen protector should I get?

2.) I don't really like the default writing templates. Can I add my own? Is there someway to take the default templates from my dpt and put them on the boox 2?

3.) What 3rd party apps actually work on the boox 2 for writing? I've tried one note and write but they do not work properly. Is there a list of apps somewhere that works with the boox 2 or a way to find such apps on the store?

4.) How can I get the boox 2 to work with mac os X high Sierra? It works fine with Windows devices but I can't get it to be recognized on my mac.. not even the blue tooth (it says it's connected and then it immediate disconnects).

5.) I'm having trouble with the side by side note taking. I am unable to flip just the book pages without flipping the side note as well. Also is there any way to change the default blank template on the side note? Finally, how can I open one of my previous notes (from the note taking app) as a side note?

Thanks all!
