I bought mine from TaoBao/TMall directly and waited a month until someone could bring it over from China. It is a Chinese New Year edition which comes with a case for free.
Below are my first impressions after playing with it for a couple of days.
1: Size & weight: It's perfect! I am impressed how light it feels, and it's also thinner than anticipated. In fact it's so thin that it gives a flimsy feeling.
2: Lack of audio jack -- Maybe I should have read the specs earlier so it came as a surprise. It shouldn't be a big deal since you always have the option to use a BT headphone for audio. I haven't tested that but I will update.
3: Reading experience: Pretty good. while using touch to flip the pages I found it's very responsive while not too touchy.
4: Note taking (plus): This is the feature why I bought it. It works very well within its Note and reader app, and I have to say it's the BEST writing experience with electronic writing. strokes are very accurate, display is very responsive. since the screen is thinner than glass lcd screens, your pen stroke just appears right under your pen tip, which is smokes iPads, surface pros, etc.
5: Not taking (minus): Here is the bad part. I am addicted to OneNote, but hand notes on OneNote app is almost unusable. Is there any remedy to it?
6: Strange charging behavior: I found that even when battery is full and device power-off, it still consistenly and constantly drawing about 170ma based on my usb power meter reading. But it doesn't seem it's the system/battery that's sucking power while it's off since if I leave it unplugged overnight, and plug it back in the next day, the power meter current reading will quickly drop back to 170ma, which means the battery is still almost full. So I guess it's just the way Onyx designed its charging circuit?
I just have these 6 points to share, and I will add later on as I make more discoveries.
