If the author belongs to Onyx team, it will be a possibility to get this feature in the future. |

Seems the capacitive layer of their 13.3" device costs a lot of contrast in comparison to IR touch technology though. |

Booxtor, the Onyx Scribble app would be great too, if some basic functionality was added! Specifically I am missing:
- List view (to display the titles of 30+ scribbles on one page) - Sort (by title and date, ascending and descending) - Search scribbles by title. Unfortunately the lack of these basic features makes the app useless for serious work, despite the fantastic accuracy and response |

The prices for these devices are still too high IMO. The only way I could justify one is if I could use the display/digitizer as output/input devices on a home computer (there has been some work on X drivers for epaper screens--an actual compelling device might motivate more work on it). All of these "Toy OS" apps that each device manufacturer throws together (reinventing the wheel over and over again *sigh*) are fine for jotting notes and stuff, but to actually make the device compelling for professional/productivity use the only way forward is to decouple the output/input hardware from a particular software environment as well as the rest of the hardware.

Totally Satisfied with the Onyx Max
Hello;
My 2nd post since registration. I have the following eink eReaders; Onyx Boox N96ML Onyx Boox MAX Kindle Paperwhite Kobo Aura HD (very deeply disappointing) Bricked (yes, bricked) Icarus Thus far, the Onyx Boox Max 13.3" provides the most satisfying experience. BY FAR Besides reading epubs/mobi eBooks, my work requires that I consume a lot of PDF and the MAX comes in very very very well in this. (I suspect the Sony DPT-S1 MAY be better in it's PDF software but it's out of reach and so ...) For those folks comparing 13.3" eink ereaders, hands down at this point in time, MAX is by far the best. The PDF and Note taking software could do with some improvement in features but the functionalities they do have works very well. It's responsive (as responsive as eink can be), friendly and bug free (so far) My two cents. (Caveat: I do NOT have the Good-EReader nor do I have the Netronix variant. They may be better but I doubt so.) (I managed to brick the Icarus by placing a 32 Gbyte MicroSD card into it. That was certainly not allowed and I found that out too late). Warmest Regards Steven Sim |

Thanks for the feedback, you have quite a collection Could you say what firmware version your Max is running on?

I saw a forum which states that 1.8.2 comes with multi-tab PDF or Document Reader and that would be an absolute killer feature for me. I switch between documents so very often. I have also received an email stating that Max Carta 13.3" will come with a higher resolution together and a Regal Panel (2200*1650 dpi ). There's a discussion stating that there will be yet ANOTHER MAX 2 later part of this year. If you are a Onyx Boox staff, can you elaborate on the difference between the Max Carta 13.3" and the Max 2 13.3"? Warmest Regards Steven Sim |

Capacitative and lack of palm rest is a no go
Quote:
I don't quite agree. With a capacitative screen, one would not be able to lay the palm of one's hand on the screen during writing or annotation. And this is a big thing for me. I am also not willing to sacrifice contrast or battery power simply for a capacitative touch. Legibility is important (for me) and I would far prefer a high contrast screen. I annotate and write on the Max 13.3" quite frequently and the ability to lay my palm fully on the panel is a big thing for me. Warmest Regards Steven Sim |

It's quite possible to have a capacitive screen with good contrast.

However, when a device supports electromagnetic stylus, it has a layer in the screen which only senses the stylus, not your finger. "Dual touch" devices have both, and they can switch automatically from one technology to the other. So you can rest your palm on the screen without making any unwanted marks. |
