Updating my M96...

Thanks!

Hi Booxtor,

Great that you're still working on the scribbling!

Here is a strange bug I found. Sometimes the screen won't display a stroke you've made with the pen, but then if you go to "erase" and click anywhere on the screen the stroke appears!

Here is a video of the bug:

So there are TWO versions of the T68, for different parts of the world or something?

Thank you for updating Neo, Booxtor!

Now, long press to show definitions works well. And I find contrast adjustment very useful when reading Chinese characters in scanned PDFs. It makes letters more crisp and easier to read.

Here are some minor bugs I've discovered.
-Crop to width in landscape doesn't work.
-In some PDFs, embolden font gets back to Level 0 when you rotate or reopen the PDF.
-In landscape mode, the lower half of copy, highlight, annotation dictionary tabs are not shown (you can still press the upper half, though).

I'm looking forward to the next update. Contrast adjustment in other apps is pretty much needed when using web browser, comic reader, and other apps available in Play store.

Best regards.

Also, does the export button (next to the "scribble" button) do something or is it still work in progress?

AFAIK In the Artatech version they have some additional pre-installed apps like bookshop (for Polish ebooks) and English + Polish Ivona TTS. After update with our software those apps could be gone, so I guess the could have not permited installation of our updates in their versions (like it has been done in Russian versions of T68 and M96). You can try it though.

Could you please retry the calibration ? Try to not to do double click at the same calibration point. You can try instead of short click to do like draw small circle.

unfortunately, now when i update my M96 with your last update package . the stylus does not work at all (no response from the screen). when I use the old update (the one that you introduced NEO reader) the stylus works fine.

thanks in advance

Safari to Go (Android App for Safari Books)

cannot be installed. It works even on the cheapest Android Phone/Tablet so I'm wondering if there is a way to adjust the M96 to be able to install it?

Thank you.

CoolReader will be probably removed from standard update because it is difficult to maintain. I will post a link, where you can download current CoolReader Onyx version as an application if you like it.

Why not submit the patches you made to the CoolReader project? Then they'll probably integrate them, and the default Play Store program will support the reader out of the box.
