I kind of am not annoyed as much about the usability of apps because I find most android apps awful anyways. They're good and well designed in regards to looking stuff up quickly on your phone, not really for day-to-day work IMHO. Sticking to linux programs only and text works perfectly fine on the Max 2, thanks to Termux. (The existence of Termux was the only reason I even bought it) I understand that most people need a GUI though.
I do agree that this thing still after a few months feels way too expensive for how shoddily put together it feels. I'm keeping it because there's nothing else like this and I love eInk, the companies involved in eInk do the technology not any favors regarding spread though. Feels kinda like they only want people to read books and books only and screw you if you actually want to use eInk for general purpose computing.
The tablet always felt to me like Onyx couldn't decide if they want to do a general tablet or an eReader, and as a result it ends up lacking in both aspects. If they'd market this thing as an ARM computer with big eInk screen for linux people and open up everything, I bet it could even make some people consider the steep price who wouldn't buy it in it's current (locked) state in a million years.
