Getting notes and highlighted text from pdf
I got a M92 device 2 weeks ago, unfortunatly it was broken so i had to send it back and only got a quick look.
But: Getting the notes and especially the highlighted text from the device is mandatory for me. As i want to use the device to manage my scientific papers. I could live with a solution to run a program to include the internal sketch/sqlite db into the pdf and vice versa (For managing the papers on PC, i will use docear). But as the sketch file seems to include some binary blob for the actual highlighting i wonder if the internal structure of that records is known or if the upcoming firmware is addressing this issue? I really like the display of the onyx and it would be a pity to be forced to use an android tablet just because of the pdf-readers that support correct highlighting on that platform... |

To implement decent PDF handling is just not enough. But wait, there is hope - or another bait to attract guinea pigs ... Ectaco Color https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=167587 |

It is interesting that the latest review is saying that the resolution is higher than 800x600 which seem to be a surprise for everybody. |

I am not concerned about PDF cropping, because I'm reading PDFs in landcape mode, which has its advantages: I read text in chunks and don't feel overwhelmed by too much text at once, the font is bigger and thus lets ignore the bit older Vizplex display. Moreover the PocketBook cover allows me to place the device like a book: Last edited by Backi; 02-04-2012 at 08:49 AM. |

There must be other reasons why you returned the M92 I am not very familiar with PB ..in what respect is better than M92?/ according with jbaach M92 is better and I tend to believe him, he did a pretty good job reviewing M92 http://baach.de/Members/jhb/-compari...-onyx-boox-m92 |

From my point of view the only need I have is to decently read and annotate PDFs. That seems to be fine. Although you see to use it mainly for the same purpose you are not very clear what was wrong with M92 in this respect or maoby I don't understand it... |

Instead if relying on somebody's clips, you should make your own opinion: Buy both devices and compare. That's what I've done and I decided for PB. That was an overall personal impression and I think, it's hard to mediate it. Found bugs on M92, the issue with dead pixels etc. made my decision more intense towards PB and more cautious towards Onyx overall. |

I am not trying to defend anything... just trying to decide based on arguments. If it wouldn't be for my eyes I would rather buy Asus slate e121 ..that is windows, has a pen and I don't need to bother with ereader to PC transfering. For 600$ you can get a factory refurbished Asus and you get much more functionality than you get from M92/Pocketbook/Jetbook (400-500$). That is my opinion for now. Since I need eInk I will have to bite the bullet and buy an M92... Last edited by PF4Mobile; 02-04-2012 at 11:55 AM. |

OK, that's common sense. But how many arguments do you need for a buying decision? Color ereaders may come out this year, or a new PB model better than M92. You could wait forever for a killer argument. |
