Oh dear! Oh my!

I mean, I too had annoying problems with the 1.x version of the built-in notes app, mainly pages getting erased if I'm not careful with the "undo" button, but I didn't know it's worse in 2.x!

I could consider switching to Boox, but including the fact that my Mimas is still at Boyue's facility in China awaiting repair, the main problem for me is that it'd blow a massive hole in my savings, but at least, as of posting this comment, the local distributor offers a slightly lower price than the official store. Not to mention, some personal stuff that I don't think I should mention here, but can if someone wants me to.

Spoiler:

I know Boyue offered me the option to pay some amount of money (they didn't tell me exactly how much) to upgrade me to a Likebook Alita, but…

1. No page keys, so I'd have to run an overlay app in order to take screenshots. (EDIT 2: It turns out that they placed a "screenshot" toggle in the notification shade, but only in the 2.x firmware)
2. I don't like the default case included with the Alita, however, i do believe I can use cases intended for stuff like the reMarkable 1st generation and Boox Note series, as long as it's a case with a sticky pad rather than a moulded holder
3. I'd rather get a Boox Note2 rather than a Likebook Alita, as I don't see much of a difference between the two, though I still wish Onyx at least included memory card slots on their Boox devices. I could get one of the former, but the problem for me is that it'd blow a massive hole in my savings. As for the Boox Note Pro, that lacks USB hosting support which I'd want for my research project, while the Note2 runs on Onyx's newer hardware platform that I think uses rejected Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chips (I can't confirm for obvious reasons) where the cellular and/or camera components had failed factory tests, and so Onyx disabled those in their Android software. I would've liked Onyx to make more use of the SoCs they put in their devices, and I'm hoping they do so with a possible "Boox Note2 Pro" that could have a colour display with a greyscale mode, which in turn would really benefit me as someone who primarily reads comics, oh yeah, a memory card slot and a few other features I wish for.

Even worse for me, is that...
