I've just gotten my hands on a Book Max 2 for some testing for review purposes, and one thing I noticed was that when I installed the Google app from the Play Store, it seemingly disappeared. Wouldn't show up on the built-in launcher's apps screen, though it was still installed and could be launched by choosing "Open" from the app store listing—and when I installed the Google Now launcher, it showed up just fine in that.
Anyone know why that is? |

I want to read and highlight PDFs. I want to read my kindle books. What is the realistic battery life doing these activities now with the current updates? |

May be there's something similar going on in the two cases. |

It goes down really fast as soon as you connect to the WIFI, eg. to use the web browser, download applications, etc. Unless Onyx can optimize the battery life in the next firmware releases, my advice is to buy a good power bank and use it as an external battery. In this way, you can take advantage of a light device when you don't need power, and attach the power bank when needed. |

Seems the software is getting sorted. What is the current status of the screen scratching issue for the stylist? Is that good now? Or still an issue?

However, I wonder if the Max 2 and the Note might be using different screens. I do not see the same kind of glare off of my Note that seemed to occurring on some of the initial Max 2 devices. |

I've pulled the trigger on a max2 that showed up today. I've only just plugged it in and looked around for about 3 minutes total.
It seemed Snappy and is pretty good. It's a little heavier than I think I could use for reading books, but for using at a desk or anywhere else that I have some support it is very easy on the eyes. Does anybody else seem to have some ghosting issues? Turning Page swipes the entire screen is reset like every other ereader. But if I pop open a minute you and then go back to the document there still ghosted borders. Same if I restart the device and there's the whole screen art picture. Unlock it and until I do something that fully resets the screen you can catch just a slight ghosting of that image. Is that normal? Limitation of the tech? Or do I have a bunk unit? |

At any time you can press and keep the menu key at the bottom panel for a few seconds and it'll refresh the screen. |
