I would like to have there a simple check box "run till the end of the doc". This is just nuisance, of course. I guess that the feature was added more for a display window presentation than for end user usage. Sill I like it very much as I have converted many ppt files to pdf to slide show through them as a rehearsal

This version is not final release and just leaked pre-release. This endless loop in Neo2's slideshow has been made on purpose to test the power. Ignore it

I am still wondering what will be the difference between an Onyx Boox Max Carta and an Onyx Boox Max 2?

As far as I know there are no known specifications for the Onyx 2? Will it also be a 13.3 inch device? And if yes is it certain that they will release it in the fall?

Sounds not like a good business idea to me after releasing the Max Carta half a year earlier.

Max Carta has no touch. Pen only. Android 4.0.4

Max 2 with have a touch. Booxtor also mentioned newer processor i.MX7 which could also mean newer Android.

At the moment many modern apps are not compatible with Android 4.0.4

Looks like Max Carta will have Android 4.4

The security restrictions in Android 5 and later make it a real PITA to use with SD cards, IMHO. The apps you're likely to want to use on an eInk device work fine with older versions of Android, generally speaking.

I have no Android device, sorry if the wish is silly. I hope that with ONYX Max 2, the SD card could be used with a Linux filesystem.

Not silly - I was just warning that "later" is not necessarily "better" with Android.

Hello Booxtor,

I a have some wishes for the MAX 2 :
- I would like to use only a Linux distribution to use it - I prefer Debian;
- I would want use only the USB port if don't want use the Wifi.

If a driver is necessary to use the HDMI, I wish that the driver exist in a Linux version.
Your tool to erase the file-system is available for Windows, not for Linux.
I would like to use the SDcard under Linux.

Is the MAX 2 supposed to be out this year?

If memory serves correct, they are hoping to have them ready for production this autumn. I've already started putting coins in the piggy bank in anticipation of such a happy outcome...

I've already started.

October ? Maybe. Later for Christmas ? It will be a beautiful gift under the pine tree and it will be more easier to justify !

Thanks. If the screen size is 13.3", what is the overall all dimensions?

I can't find anything on the Onyx website. Why is their FAQ only in Russian?
