I am at the example of note taking on PDF through the stylus at 13:30 .. 13:40: the speed is jaw-dropping - it is real-time fast. How can that be possible on EPD, outside A2 mode? Or was that set to A2 and I did not notice it? And that looks really fast even for A2.
The screen updates so fast, it does not seem like EPD. (I mean, perceptually. With photo-finish and measurements, maybe... I remain impressed.) Last edited by mdp; 12-11-2017 at 06:28 PM. |

Thanks @Booxtor!
As for showing Max2 as the second screen: could you show comparison with Carta (If I remeber correctly Carta was using vnc). We just saw what difference quad core processor does, it would be nice to see what difference hdmi port provides. @mdp maybe you could suggest some simple application that would measure the time lag in miliseconds? It would be interesting to see Android Kindle App too.. |

- Max2 hardware buttons do not turn pages. You need to either scroll pages or change to the single page mode and turn pages by click on the right or left margin. YOu can use both finger and stylus. - Adobe Acrobat do not have palm resection on Max2. Annotations by stylus are possible, but not as convenient as in Neo2 and also with a short lag. You also can use your finger to draw on the page. - There is no page orientation switcher. Everything is displayed in portrait mode (which is actually not a problem at all) |

Apologies if this has been said before - I tried to read the various subjects on the Max Boox devices, but didn't find the information.
How does transfering files (epubs and PDFs, say) work on these devices? Does connecting them to USB and copying files work, or is there some closed protocol like on other large screen e-readers? |

It mounts two external drives (two, if you have an SD-card). Of course, you can also use `adb push|pull` (etc.). I find it scary and creepy that on other systems, you write, it would not work that way... Last edited by mdp; 12-15-2017 at 05:14 AM. |

Scribbling in the stock Note app has been very fast (even on my M96) - it's with heavier apps that the lag was unbearable (if they could be installed in the first place). Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

Before people get confused (and I read that expression often): a /"quad core"/ does not make a difference. It is the fact that one of those single cores is almost three times as fast as the only core of the i.MX 6SL, that makes a difference, coupled with the fact that having more cores you have immensely less chance of creating queues. EDIT: and again, the i.MX 6SL was lacking basic features, and not all software applications can work on it. On a Graphics (or "General") Processing Unit, you can have thousands of cores. Is software optimized to use them? It's like a motorway with a thousand lanes - less queues than a street with a single lane, certainly, but it is the speed of the van that makes the shipment arrive on time - especially if the organization of the shipments, with particular regard to its parallelism, was not organized for optimization.

there are many ways to transfer your content to Onyx Boox devices (including Max and Max2). You can connect a Boox to your PC using USB Storage mode (Boox appears on your PC in your file explorer as an external storage). You can create and manage your folders on the Boox in same way as you would do it on your hard disk. You can connect your Boox using WiFi File Transfer app. Boox appears on your PC as a new network storage device. You can use a content sync. and cloud programs (e.g. Dropbox). You can connect it with another device using Bluetooth ... There are no limitations. |

Here is another short video for those of you, who wanted to see how text editing on Max2 works. I used Textmaker Mobile Free. It works just fine. Same experience with the WPS Office ( I did try it but didn't record a video of it)
