Hi Dr. Drib,

I am interested in your thoughts: since the screen of my M92 had a serious problem and since it is nearly 4 years old, I considered buying a new one.

Given my experience with my M92 (which I consider overall positive), here are the points that would convince me to buy a new one instead of repairing the old one (in no particular order):

1) (Much) better DPI
2) Light
3) Faster responsiveness in turning page (is this equivalent to faster CPU? I don't know)
4) Physical buttons
5) Stylus slot inside the body of the e-reader
6) good support for many formats (this already is a strong point for all Onyx products)

Neither touch screen nor android are a must for me, since I will never use the e-reader to browse or do anything else than reading: so the firmware should "just work" out of the box.

Apart from 4 and 6 which are already there even on my M92, the other points are mostly unfulfilled. One has light (N96ML9), one has better screen (Max), but none has all together.

Considering all this, and considering the prices of the new toys... I went for a repair of my M92: it can still do its job!
