Thanks for an interesting discussion. I'm also on the fence between Note/Note+/Max2.

Already own a Sony dpt-s1 (13"). Very happy with pdf reading and note taking.
But the wifi experience is abysmal. Slow as molasses.
I sync docs in and out by briefly plugging physically into my computer.

I want a Boox predominantly to surf the web.
Skim/read new scientific papers on wifi: abstracts from email/web, and select pdf downloading on the fly.
Wifi must be good for this, and apps (browser, gmail?) decent.

Since I already have a 13", I'm tempted to add a 10".

1) Is the note+ ($50 more expensive) worth it over the Note for a mostly web surfing experience?

2) In particular, does the glass screen make it more brittle or in fact more robust structurally?

3) The note is now $500 on Amazon (w/coupon), the note plus $550. Think the plus will come down at amazon or elsewhere (shipping to US) during the sales next couple week?

Thanks
