Web browsing is also important for me. In android 4 Onyx it was crashing every 5-20min.
Thanks in advance

I've only had my Likebook Mars for three days, but I'm not finding many bugs yet. When I had the Boyue T63, the stock File Browser and Library apps crashed so often that I used third party apps for their functions. No such crashes yet on stock apps or the stock browser.
The only issue I see so far is ghosting. Auto-refresh only seems to work consistently with the stock reader app. It also works for third party reader apps that are designed with E-Ink in mind and include auto-refresh settings. Text remains very readable even with ghosting, but it may be annoying. You can tap the icon that toggles normal and A2 mode to manually refresh the screen.
Boyue says that an October update will fix the auto-refresh/ghosting issue.
The third party apps that I have installed have not had problems with crashing so far.
If Boyue fixes the auto-refresh problem, the Likebook Mars will be an excellent e-reader. I haven't seen specs for the Onyx Nova, but it could be just as good.
