Apologies, don't have resources or time to do that.
Some further points:
- As opposed to Max 2, Note does NOT have a cover in the box. It is listed as optional accessory in the printed manual that comes with it. The chassis is plastic, but nice to hold and very light. It is matte behind, does not show that much fingerprints.
- The unit is very fast, most third party apps work fine with it - no problem installing anything from Play Store. Librera E-ink edition, GMail, Telegram, Onedrive, a couple of apps with custom DRM I use, are all installed without a hitch. Microsoft Word does not work well, not responsive to the right touch input. Hopefully Onyx can modify it.
- I cannot see anything under Settings to set the shortcut for a manual refresh, and the single hardware button (The 'Home' one) does not seem to react to refresh when long pressed. Hopefully this is something Onyx can address in the firmware updates, a way to toggle manual refresh fast.
- PDF performance and pinch to zoom are very good.
-From what I recall of the Max 2, the Note screen is sharper and more contrasty. To be expected given the difference in dpi, but still quite impressive. The screen is the strong suit, still e-ink with all its limitations, but a good deal better than my current device, the i86.
So, in short, it's what everyone expected, a Max 2 in small size, but same or better performance, and sharper screen, and much lighter and transportable. In fact, finances permitting, I am thinking of getting a Max 2 when its a bit cheaper, the two complement each other almost perfectly. Need to travel, are short in space - Note, and when you are more static, the Max 2.
