Is a Boox M92 at 245€ worth it?
I'm in search for a 9.7 e-reader and right now I found a seller that is selling it (used, but with only 3 months of life as he says)..

Is the M92 a good device today or is it too slow? I'm a bit tempted because it has Linux and from some videos it doesn't seem that slow (even the writing seems more fluid than the M96).

Should I go for it?

Why not just buy the Onyx N96ML for $379, available from Amazon, as opposed to an older and (arguably) obsolete model?

We are talking about 245€ vs 379$ (335 euros)

Also it's not available in my country (Amazon.it for Italy) and the only one I can get is from ebay that with fees it reaches more than 450 dollars

I think they would have appeared on Amazon.it if they were available even from there (For law they should make it available to all EU I guess)
Anyway I searched on Amazon.de but I haven't found anything

EDIT: I have to give up on that offer for the M92 because the seller is too shady (contacting me with guerrillamail and pretending I'm on PC 24h a day to see it in time) so I guess I'm forced to reconsider the M96 :/

I know nothing of Onyx, cannot recommend. But I wouldn't pay 245€ for used, with 3 months life ereader and on top of that from a shady ebay seller.

...and to mention, as well, that it's long out of production.
