Hi everyone,

I am going to receive my Onyx note tomorrow I think and I have a few questions :

1. what are the first things I have to do when I get it ? I guess update it to the latest firmware ? Also, are they must-have apps to download? I'd rather keep it simple and not root my device

2. The thing I plan to do most with the Note (I think) is reading a book and highlight some passages and take notes and, ideally, be able to sync via the could the resulting file AND export the highlights/notes. Is that even possible ? If so, what's the best format to do so ? Pdf ? Epub ? Mobi ? Are there some readers wich are better suited for this purpose ? Right now, I do so with my ipad and use pdfs for rather technical papers (I sometimes export the text I highlighted using PDF Expert) and mobi (and the kindle app) for non-fiction books: I then export the Kindle highlights to Evernote using my laptop.

3. I also save a lot of webpages for later reading through Pocket. Is Pocket usable on the Note ? I also read a lot of RSS thanks to Inoreader. Can I use an RSS reader with the note ? I have heard about Reabble wivh is a e-ink web-based RSS reader, but if something like Inoreader works, all the better.

I guess that's it for now.

thanks !
