I just bought an onyx boox max 2.

I have to say, I really like the hardware (better than the Sony DPT RP1, because for some reason they decided not to add any page turn buttons).

But I think the software is deficient, and in some respects bizarre. (The sony DPT RP1 even more so from what I’ve heard. E.g. it doesn’t have a table of contents function...)

Things I find problematic with max 2’s software:
* you can’t just start writing with the pen. You have to first press the “extra options button” and then the scribble feature. (I literally see no reason for this whatsoever).

* You can’t do anything to the pdf when you’re in split screen note taking mode. E.g. you can’t write on it, or highlight, or anything. If you want to highlight you have to exit note mode, highlight, then go bath to note mode.

* there’s no split screen for reading two documents or two different pages of the same document at once (which is one of the things that attract me to the DPT. RP1).

There are more things that could be improved as others online have noted.

Is there third party software for the max2? Is it even possible to change the software of the max2 without Onyx’s permission? Or should I have checked for official updates somewhere?
