I just bought mine from the Booxstor's site as well. All shipped and done properly. Biggest problem was that when it landed in Australia there was a massive weather storm and that delayed it a couple of days

Mine passed thru br customs unnoticed and it took around 15-20 days from order to delivery. I could barely believe it and I was fully happy. I even promised to myself I would not be angry if other orders of mine got taxed, all because it saved me a lot of tax on this one.

I hope yours go fine too. Feliz Natal !!

Yes, I bought it from that link. Booxstor is more than an user here. He regularly replies with help to other Boox users and has a couple of threads dedicated to customized firmware updates for Onyx ereaders.

You'd better keep an eye on this thread linked below since it is the best resource to get your device up to date. I check there every week looking forward to new features and bug fixes.

This bug seems to have been fixed in the latest FW. I tried both ways to reproduce it in different documents and the scribbles stayed put in both of the cases. Nice one! I updated the bugs wiki.

I am sorry to go back to an earlier message here but if zeng happens to visit this thread again, I really wonder as to how close we are to see the release of an M97.
-- I have been "holding myself" for too long (since the days of M92 actually!) and still sticking to Dxg so as to get a device with better screen when finally spending money again on a 9.7'' (or larger) e-reader.

I think next could be 13inch from Onyx:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...1&postcount=88

Unfortunately last Zeng's post is from March 2014. Booxtor is also gone.

9.7inch Onyx has been recently updated by M96C in January 2015.

Netronix has android based 13.3" flexible E Ink reader with capacitive touch and digitizer: http://youtu.be/b-SnpwAsIYc
Unfortunately Netronix cannot sell this.

Sony's DPT-S1 is 2 years old so it might be updated (not much hope) with android. Perhaps it might be hacked/jailbreaked miraculously.

Time to wait? Pray? Kickstarter?

Many thanks for the info fgdas. The Netronix one seems very interesting indeed.
There was a link here to the questionnaire on M97 a while ago, so I wanted to ask... https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&highlight=m97
I understand that the prospect of a soon-enough release seems dim.
I am not sure actually, will possibly end up waiting again...

Or you could buy something better than your current device (e.g. M96 if it fits your needs) and then sell it when the ultimate reader miraculously appears on the market.

Even if Onyx releases M97 next year it will take another year for them to release some decent firmware. They still can't get it right with the M96...

Do i need a cover for M96 ?
Dear Fellow, I have landed my self-buying a kindle paper white after several days of confusion to choose between Sony Digital paper and Onyx M96. The major reason behind this mistake was Onyx being an unknown brand (Quality not proven) here in Australia and its user base with the pricing factor of Sony DP. However, I ended selling my Kindle within a week as my mind switched to try Onyx considering it batter ability to read A4 PDF. Do you think I am going crazy here  anyways, Now I am writing to find out from someone who is using M96 about how durable is it? I hate keeping nice pads into cases or covers wasting all the efforts of the designer who worked his assess of to make it that thin and lightweight. But, hey, you know I paid AU $440 and want to protect my investment for coming 3-4 years. Do you guys think it to be a delicate instrument? Is my expectation for it to last 3-4 years is overestimate? Should I need to use a case to safe guard it or it will last otherwise? Can you guys please advise me?

The screen is fragile, as with all glass-based ereaders. Definitely keep it in a cover which has a sturdy front flap. Don't drop it, don't place heavy objects on it, and don't stuff it in a packed bag...

Need some backup procedures
Hi folks,

I've been using Boox (M96 & now the M96 Plus) for about 2 years now.

The latest November firmware update is great; everything works faster, doesn't scan each time I check Libraries, Big pen is working again etc.

However, my personal user experience on M96 is very "zen like" - each time I upgrade or something go wrong on the machine, I have to be prepared to lose everything (all my annotations, highlights, apps etc.) and start all over again....

Can anyone offer me a way to backup my stuff so that - at the very minimum - I can get back my annotations & bookmarks just the way I left it before I upgrade?

As I said, the November update is great - on a functional level, I'm happy.
