Just a couple of quick questions:

1. Does M92 support folders, especially folders within folders?

2. If the touch screen/stylus is not essential, would you advice people to get an M91s instead? They pretty much have the same hardware right? Does M92 use a different firmware than M91s does?

3. I'm also based in Germany, but the store you recommended (ereader-store) seems to carry Pocketbook products only. Where else can you buy an M92/M91s?

Hello,
1) yes, it does. As proof you can see in my video folders testbooks\epub\Kipling, Rudyard\The jungle Book\ ...
Navigation between folders is superior and easy.
2) No, I wouldn't. The reason is the most of readers, who reads PDFs with this device, will get eventually a situation, where they need to zoom and set the page precisely. Without stylus it is very hard.
3) I am working for Ereader-Store.de now. We have ordered 100 units of M92 and they will arrive in approx. three weeks. It will be the first bulk to Europe. We don't want collect preorderers before the bulk arrives in Germany and will start to sell M92 as soon as the m92 is in our German stock.

Best regards

hi..
IS IT capable of reading RSS (subscribe to RSS feeds)? the old one cant as you can see here
https://www.onyx-boox.com/faq/1-freq...ribe-rss-feeds

also: do they have books store ? will amazon book work on it?

thanks

Good question about the RSS feeds, that would be of interest for me too.

And no, they don't have a bookstore, they are a chinese hardware company and their reader is made to be universal. They possibly might have something arranged in China, but I do not know.

Thanks Booxter! Just one more question: assuming you've also got your hands on the Pocketbook Pro912, how does it stack up against Onyx M92? Do you have a personal preference? Which one would you recommend for someone that reads mostly science paper in PDF format? Does M92 run faster because of its bigger RAM and faster CPU? Pro912 might arrive before M92 does, and although I really want to get a 9.7" ereader ASAP, it looks like M92 might be worth the wait.

That's actually a bunch of questions...sorry!

Okay, that changes the perspektive of you very positive reviews somehow.
Seller and reviewer are one and the same person.

Remember, that Booxtor was the one who published a very disappointing video review about M90...

I would like to add:
Booxtor, is there a way for you to also get your hands on a Hanvon e920 (I am talking about the non-colored version with the very high 200 dpi resolution)? Could you compare the M92, PB912 and that e920? That would be great!

Although I believe that the e920 does not support .djvu files...

Yeah, I remember. And now a quantum leap in appreciation before he changes sides?
To be clear: I hope he made an unbiased test.

still waiting ..
by the way, has any one tried Ereader-Store.de before?
they seems to offer a good price but i could not find a review in english about it.

[maindoor]

[reaperhk]

jetBook Color is coming .. and the price is similar to M92 (430US (http://www.onyxboox.com/product_info...products_id=41) vs 499 (http://www.ectaco.com/jetBook_Color/))

May be should wait, and compare these two products

You can make preorders of the M92 or buy the M91S at http://www.onyx-boox.com/onyx-boox-m92. M92 was supposed to be available by 8th of December, that is, 3 days ago.

It's not the right forum, but jetBook will have a resolution of 800 x 600 pixel. It's hardly possible to read pdf-files on it.

Hello,
Actually I’ve never changed sides. I am working for ereader-store.de (former pocketgoods.de) since 2009. I just was looking for a good 10” ereader (alternative to Pocketbook Pro 903) to offer it to our customers and have started communication with Onyx. The M90 seemed to be such a good device. I’ve ordered my first sample and it was very disappointing. You could see my video reviews I guess. Nevertheless I have continued to cooperate with Onyx. I’ve translated Menu of M90 for German customers although we never offered M90 to our customers. Our requirement to Onyx was to correct all the problems on that device, what I mentioned in my posts about m90 before. This way was m92 born.
Now I can with a clear conscience recommend this device, because I would buy it for my purposes.
Currently I have passed the sample m92 to another tester (jbaach) from this forum and I hope he will place his response here very soon.

I can confirm that I now have the testing device, and that I am looking forward to write my review of the device (and comparison to the pocketbook 903 which I used for the last month or so).
Besides having borrowed the device I have no financial / business / private connection with any vendors/producers/shops. I'll try to be 'objective', a.k.a I'll try to be transparent about my point of view (and note: I am not implying at all that other users have posted biased reviews).

While I am testing things - please tell me what you (other members of this forum) would be interested in. Put up / link your files on https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/TestFiles, and ask the related question here.
