Web browsing works nice and actually now I read my favorite blogs and daily news on Max2. Unfortunately you have to use the built in browser which always transforms the fonts to B&W. With other browsers you got washed out experience. I'm tempted to fork Chromium to apply the same auto web style adjustments for e-ink.

Oh, by the way, let me add more info. I have just went to the thread out of boredom and curiosity what the Max enthusiasts are up to. I like the device but I'm rather critical user. IMHO, watching video, remote desktop or even the new HDMI monitor feature are still early beta for very desperate. I was thrilled to try the HDMI when I got mine boox but I can tell you that the experience is rather disappointing. Refresh rate is too slow to follow normal mouse movements or rapid app changes like traversing the menu. It is possible to compensate for that, i.e. learn to be a little slow... There is screen ghosting. Very quickly the white becomes gray on the screen reducing the contrast significantly. In my opinion it is impossible to work with standard Macbook resolution. I had to lower it to 1024x768 to compensate for the lost contrast which leave very small real working area, rather not suitable for reading documentation side by side my development work which I was hoping for.

On the positive side, if you are getting disappointed by my remark above, this is a really good versatile ereader. You can install almost any app. Writing with the pen is a pleasant experience. It slide very smooth on the surface and the reaction is instantaneous. The difference in feeling of the pen between Max and Max2 is like switching from normal pen to a ball-pen (different tip material). I handed my Max2 to a guy why had reMarkable and he was very jealous as he said writing on the reMarkable is slow and unnatural so he was very disappointed by their advertisement. I did not had a chance to try reMarkable myself unfortunately as he did not have it in his bag.
