There seems to be plenty of battery drain in standbye mode. As seen in this recently posted YouTube video https://youtu.be/f1LeURVZw3g
But this will hopefully be fixed by firmware update.
Nice device anyway:-)

Yes, but there is also on the MaxCarta. You should set the timeout "shut down after xx minutes" and the matter is much less noticeable.

Yes. Until short time ago it was in beta so free. I did'n realize it is now a paid app. I use it on a windows10 2in1 and I really like it!

From another user's feedback: comparing with Max Carta, Max2's screen is a little bit yellowish but acceptable. He didn't mention the font sharpness between them.

Maybe I should order one?

Yes, the Max2 is more yellowish. Good idea to swap the device to have a better comparison.

RP1 is noticeably smaller and weighs less than others. What a pitty its android is not available to anyone and has to be hacked.

İ am really curious about Max2 ' font sharpness. Anyone who compare with Kobo Aura One? Really Kobo Aura One has the best screen seems a real BOOK.

Could Booxtor, or anyone else, kindly test the Max2 with a scanned/image heavy PDF? I guess that is where the quad core vs dual core difference will really be felt. Also, until the Sony device has proper Android support, its really an apples vs oranges comparison. A device with such a versatile screen and strong CPU needs an open, flexible OS.

In the chinese review uploaded to youtube by cqman, https://youtu.be/e7Tw6qUr3_g, cqman states that the comic books are around 1GB size. (See here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...5&postcount=93)
Pretty heavy PDF... turning pages seems very fast to me (who has no experience at all with ereaders yet).

You'll probably need new codec to use 4k camera with older software.
Any new development in uploading new videos?
Battery life rumours scares me. Any info on that? You have Max2 for a few weeks now.

I finally managed to re-record my Max2 review using my old Sanyo (Full HD) camera.
For experiments with 4K videos and codecs no time at the moment.

In this video I am briefly reviewing following features:
- Home screen and android 6
- Google Play
- Library view modes and file search
- Storage organization. File manager
- Neo2 open and reading of different documents
- Navigation: using page turn buttons, click, progress bar, multiple page view, links, TOC - Working with multi document
- Improving of contrast in Neo 2

Annotations:
- Highlighting and comments
- Scribbled annotations:
- Side page annotations (new feature)
- Handwriting with Onyx Note app
Dictionary:
- Dictionary in Neo 2
- Dictionary app
- Browsing experience

A little bit later I am going to record and upload a review about some other features, which I didn't reviewed yet:
- Using Max2 as a Monitor
- Export of annotations
- installing and using of good TTS apps
- Installation of Stardict dictionaries
- Adjustment and reading of complicated documents (like multicolumn, multi page per page etc.)
- Using Max 2 for music scores (sheet music) reading with a Bluetooth pedal

I am also collecting requests here in forum (like testing of particular apps or showing how Max2 handles heavy scanned PDFs and will record it tomorrow.

It's amazingly fast, altough I don't understand why its dictionary is so slow to show on its reader app.

Спасибо for the video, Booxtor! The tablet is looking great and stylus quite responsive. I'm looking forward to your next video—especially excited to see some handwriting recognition input (Google Handwriting Input or MyScript Stylus).

The dictionary is actually working very fast. Of some reason if you open it first time in a document it takes those 2 seconds to load first translation. Afterwards it works like a flash in this document..
