Hi rfog,

thanks for your review! Could you share with us some details about the annotation feature? How are hand written notes saved in a pdf and epub, respectively? Can hey be exported from the device? Does it have handwriting recognition?
Finally a broader question: Does the Onyx run Linux? Does it have an SDK? I'm asking this to be able to better compare it with the upcoming pocketbook 302 which i could test at IFA. While the Onyx seems to have a better screen (no touch-glare, which pocketbook claims it will solve before release) the openness of the pocketbook 302 as well as its USB-host jack (think keyboard etc) make this a close race. For me the note-taking feature is key, so that would be a decisive factor.
The shop from which you bought the Onyx also looks interesting - could you let us know the termy of your Onyx' warranty? The final question is about apoint I didnt get in the google translation of your review: What is the body made of - is it plastic or aluminium? Is it white or silverish? The later is not trivial for me cos it influences the perceived contrast....

thanks in advance!
