Now then, the crux of the matter, the deal-breaker for my own requirements that is. As I alluded to in an earlier post, I have indeed found the device to be so good that it's size - or lack of it to be precise, has now become an issue.

This hardware/software is so good at what it does that I really can see myself making full use of it, if only it were larger. This is why I've contacted Waldemar at the ereader.store and asked if I may exchange it for the large MAX2 version.

That very helpful and polite fellow immediately said that would be no problem at all and that I could simply return it to them, receive an account-credit for the price then pay the extra for the MAX2! That's what I call service....

Soooo, that's what I'm going to do! I've of course stopped using it and will be packaging it up and returning it with a view to buying the MAX2 instead.
I can really make good use of the larger size, especially when it comes to the 'split-screen' or 'side-note' feature as it's called in Boox-language I think.

I find the note taking, PDF reading, side-note taking and web browsing to be pretty-much faultless on the Note - I just hope the same is true for the MAX2!

The Note (10.3) is such superb device that it has literally 'left me wanting more' - that is to say a larger screen version of this really very nice piece of kit.

Very impressed indeed with the Note, and would definitely recommend it - just make sure you consider the size-choice between the Note and the MAX2 first!

Hi, John,

Glad you have had such a positive experience with the Note and Waldemar. I have always found him great for customer service. (In another thread, when I responded to you, I suggested that you do just what you did! Glad it worked!)

The hardware of the Note is basically identical to the Max 2. The only difference is the size. So, you should enjoy your soon-to-come Max 2 as much as you have your Note.

It's probably a good idea for anyone trying to decide between the two to make two cardboard cutouts - one the size of the Note's display, and the other the size of the Max 2's. That would help people decide how much screen is enough!

The Max 2 would be a bit too big for me, but it seems that it should be just right for you. Cheers, Mark
