Here is my wish list for 2019 for using Onyx Max 2 Pro Limited Edition as my main device (ebook reading is around 30%, monitor mode 30%, browsing and reading, drawing, watching youtube and videos for the rest). I know I am in the minority for using it as a main device and for extended periods, and most people are using it for primarily reading pdfs and ebook, but here is my wish list:

1. Please give me an option to open two apps side by side (say, browser in one half, microsoft word in the other etc.). I have 4 GB of RAM in my Onyx Max 2 Pro and it would be so convenient to have this feature.

2. Improved pen input support for 3rd party apps such as Nebo, Autodesk sketchbook etc. There is a small delay but it works. It would be great to improve this a bit more.

3. If Onyx International decides to incorporate front-lit or back-lit e-ink screen, as this seems to be very popular request, then I hope that Onyx Int. would allow individuals to choose un-lit devices as I agree with some researchers that the best way to use the e-ink screen is to use an external light source which also balances the ambient light. Sorry I know I may annoy some people here, but I hope if you do roll out devices with integrated lighting, please offer a cheaper non-lit version if possible.

4. Moving the power button etc from the bottom of the Max 2 Pro to the opposite side.

5. Continued firmware and software support of course. As an artist/scientist, I use my ereader for drawing and illustrating. I would like to see more brushes in the Notes application (rendering sumi ink and pen brushes would be nice, more fluidity would be great). Likewise I would like to see more pencil brushes (changes in the value greyscale rather than just black). Perspective tools would be great too. Basically Autodesk Sketchbook doesnt work so well yet. There is a delay, but maybe with improvements with 3rd party pen-input compatibility may overcome these shortcomings. PS: Another big feature would be the addition of layers in the Note application when drawing....

6. Please don't abandon the 13.3" ereader Max series, and if you do make bigger e-ink devices I hope you would bring out a 15" or a 17" (maybe foldable screens). I know it sounds a bit mad, but I don't care what people think. I would appreciate if you can make a very big foldable device, even the size of an A3 sketchbook which I can open on my drawing table and draw and paint and write. If people like Remarkable size ereaders there are tons of options.

7. Contrary to the views presented on this thread, I would welcome hardware upgrades to the Max series to improve its capability to be used as a stand-alone android device and not just an ereader. Certainly, people can choose the older models if they don't want the additional features or the improvements in speed. It of course depends on the end user's needs. I am merely sharing my thoughts perhaps from a different angle. Majority of the people here are right to say that the hardware is good enough, but I would like to see more power and extended capabilities with hardware upgrades.

Please don't get annoyed with me, and I have shared my thoughts as I really rely on e-ink screens due to my health issues. Thanks for reading my post and for your understanding and help in advance.
