Android would come very handy to me, as I would like to have my Mendeley references library on my e-reader and there are several Android ports of the Meneley bibliographic software. I will wait and see however what Booxtor will do with the Android port on M92, because the big screen of M92 is clearly an advantage.

And even actual product lacks HD screen, frontlight or page turn keys (probably they will build if you pay extra for it). But it's great to find such products already produced, maybe some of us are not alone requesting such devices. Maybe such fine and logical thinking really exists. And finally be able to use and choose among a lot of different, quality and real programs, or even program or modify one by yourself. And obviously be free for any book format, store and service.

But for me there is a lot of uncertainty buying online from China from unknown vendors (esp. when the payment method is Western Union and not PayPal). If I decide to buy one, I will probably go for the model rebranded for Bulgaria, despite the older specifications and the higher price, because I can go to a store and buy it there. |

But, if you go ahead, please let us know the results! You're even from Bulgaria, so it must be a lot easier for you |

Yes, if I get one eventually, I will write about it.
But right now I am waiting for Booxtor's implementation of Android on M92. |

Well, I contacted the company in China and ordered one yesterday. The representative Kerry Wang answers emails quickly and seems helpful enough. I will let you guys know how it turns out.
Fingers crossed, ha ha! |

But, interesting, he told me that they don't have where to buy in Europe, distributor or retailer, so, the device from the .bg store must be (probably! ) from someone else. EDIT: Look. Maybe this one. They also offer another using flexible display. http://wexler-global.com/products/79/368 http://wexler.ru/digital/41da1918-b1...9-001e67105065 Last edited by jotas; 01-25-2013 at 01:15 PM. |

I hope this is not a con company, since they positioning themselves as traders and not as manufacturer.. They a also answered some of my questions about advanced requirements: Questions are following: 1. is it possible to equip this device with glow light technology (for frontlight functionality)? No. 2. is it possible to equip this device with additional flash storage (i.e 8GB) This is OK, but MOQ 1000pcs. 3. Is it possible to equip your device with EINK Pearl screens with bigger resolution (1024x758) No |

Well, I got the ereader today. It is pretty late so I haven't had much of a chance to get into it but my first impressions are that the i62 HD does not have to worry about this competition.
The pro is that this device seems to be fairly quick (the extra RAM is definitely noticeable) and it is running android. However, android is kind of useless because so far I have been completely unable to install any third party apps. Moreover, the pre-installed ereader software on this device is completely lacking. No annotations, no landscape view, etc. etc. Also, much of it is in Chinese, ha ha! I found the browser works nicely. Much better than the Onyx one. It seems to be Chrome, or something that looks similar. But by far the greatest problem is that the screen has a strong glare, probably because of the touch screen. Let's be honest, the whole point of an ebook reader is to read. 600x800 resolution I can live with but the glare is not acceptable. I can see my reflection in the screen.... Frankly, I purchased this more because I was curious about what Android could offer, but if I had been hoping for a primary ereader I would be really disappointed. The lack of third-party apps and poor screen quality are particularly damning. Nevertheless, I look forward to the day when Onyx starts putting more RAM into their ereaders. |
