Device: Onyx Boox Max2
I purchased my Max2 from Onyx through Amazon, and it came with a different firmware: 2018-01-17_16-39_1.8.3_3322186. Everything seems to work fine with this firmware--no issues with Google Play Store/Services or contacts (although I do not have any previous in-app purchases, so I cannot test that). I have installed Adobe Acrobat, Amazon Kindle, Dropbox, Evernote, GMail, Lightning, and Microsoft Word.

As others have noted, there does seem to be a significant lag with pen input on Evernote, although I will say that there was very little lag at all when marking up a PDF in Adobe Acrobat that was stored on Dropbox.

One issue that I have is that touch-scrolling does not work in Microsoft Word. I do not know whether that is a Max2 issue or a Microsoft issue. One has to use a bluetooth keyboard with hardware arrows and/or page down, or turn off the option to map the page turning buttons to volume.

All in all this is a simply fantastic device. When tablets first came out, I had hoped that someone would make an eink tablet that could function as a laptop replacement, and in terms of what I do as a college professor, I think Onyx has done it!
