I've installed the new update but the Boyue stock PDF reader doesn't have any save functions any more. Before it was possible to save just one page, annotated pages only or the whole document but now there is no save function at all. At least I can't find it. It now saves the whole document automatically.

This is very annoying because if I want to annotate a couple of pages of a long PDF it means I have to save the whole document rather than the annotated pages (which I can do with the Onyx Boox Max2.) Trying to find and print out a couple of annotated pages in a 450 page document is made much simpler with the ability to save single annotated pages or all annotated pages only.

I know I can bookmark annotated pages but that introduces further unnecessary steps in what should be a simple process (as it is on Onyx devices.) Perhaps Boyue couldn't get the broken save functions working so they dumped them?

3rd party PDF readers are still unusable because of the annoying lag while writing on PDFs.

Also, the stock browser still crashes even when no other applications are open. E.g. Open browser, navigate to mobileread, browse thread, CRASH! Every time. Either my Mimas is dodgy or the browser still is.
