Another newbee from always sunny Greece!

Hi you all!
I am happy to be a part of your biiiiiig company!

After a few months of rather "painful" and confusing research, I ended up buying the new Onyx Boox M90 (just yesterday shipped from the Netherlands). I do not know if I am happy with it yet, since it is my first non-pc ereader (I used to read ebooks on the ... 17" laptop screen!).
I would be really grateful though, if any of you guys out there could advice me on where to get apps, updates and such stuff for the M90. It seems rather convenient with it's 9.7" screen but ... I do not know. At the moment I am trying to convert my huge collection of e-books from pdf to epub, since I'm not so pleased with the way M90 handles pdfs

I'm also wondering; where the h*@l is the gravitational thing that changes from landscape to portrait (and back) when you turn the device? Official site says there is but ..... where? Am I doing something wrong?
Anyway, I am sure that I'll come up with more questions as time goes by. I only hope that some of you might be able, willing and kind enough to assist!

Glad to join your company,

Hi to you all,

tsamnick

Thank you ALL guys for a warm wellcome. It's always nice to feel that you're among friends. Maybe its because of "lack of experience", but I have not resolved my questions yet. Onyx Boox M90 simply DOES NOT TURN when you turn the device. The funny thing is that in the Onyx International site they say it does!
I still cannot connect to the internet at home wi-fi! I am using the password I have already used in our two laptops and the M90 stays stuck in a certain screen that just says ....... "Trying to Connect"!
I really wish I could have a reply from the official Onyx guys. They just directed me to ... "mobileread Forum" !!!!
