Mine works really well, and does everything I need it to do. The m96 is an amazing device - like nothing else. To recap: for quick scribbles and whatnot on a PDF - m96 does the job (I do this all the time, but I'm not sharing notes with anyone, so it's okay for me).įor extensive mark-ups, red lines, notes, comments - you'll want a tablet/laptop for the responsiveness. The default PDF reader, however, is a champ and works really, really well. I've tried using it on other PDF programs, like Adobe Reader, Xodo, etc - but they're all incredibly sluggish with the pen. All of your scribbles come across as some sort of vector art.Ĭaveat - the pen only really works well with the default PDF reader (Neo Reader on the m96). You can export the PDF with notes and open on your PC. The on-screen keyboard isn't responsive enough to add a lot of text at a time. If you want to add real NOTES in there, it'll be more cumbersome. For that kind of annotation, you'll be good, for strike throughs and whatnot. Re: Marking up PDFs - right out of the box, you'll be able to scribble on PDFs with your m96. Is the M96 similar in terms of learning curve? I used to have an Asus EA800 and I enjoyed the fun of messing around in the Linux OS of that device, and I even did a little bit of coding to modify a drawing application for it. ![]() Is the hardware identical between the Amazon and Booxtor versions? (That is, is it a simple matter of flashing the firmware?) By comparison, the M96 looks quite versatile however, the more I read these threads, the more I wonder exactly how much frustration is really required to get the M96 working. What little I've seen in videos of the Sony DPT, it looks like a highly polished device, though limited. Ideally I'd like to be able to export my annotations back to my work computer through something like Dropbox/Box/OneDrive. ![]() I'd like to be able to mark up the documents I proofread, either in a program like OneNote or as PDFs in whatever proprietary program comes with the device. ![]() Intended Use: I proofread for several hours a day, and LCD screens are hell on my eyes. Waiting for the Netronix hardware to be marketed in some form or another. I'm in the market for a large-screen e-reader with pen input capabilities.Īt this point, I feel as though I have three options:ģ.
