As I wrote in another thread I got the new Onyx Max 2 Pro yesterday.
It is a gorgeous e-reader. But there are 3 things (so far) I don't like and I'm mulling about sending it back.
First one is my fault not reading the description carefully enough. I was so sure there would be an SD card slot that I didn't bother to check.
But there isn't. They decided to replace it with HDMI instead. I for one would rather have a micro SD card slot.
Then there's a problem with installing paid apps from the playstore. Only new purchases work (on my device) and all my purchases apps (including MSP) show up with prices. That's a known problem and it will certainly be fixed with some firmware updates. Apparently not all devices have the problem and for some there seem to be updates already. But mine has the current firmware and still has the problem and I don't have a link or something for updating.
The last and probably biggest so far is that the screen seems very vulnerable to scratches (a lot more than the precursors).
So I'm seriously considering sending it back, mainly because of the last one (and hoping there might be a later model with SD card slot).
I haven't decided yet because it seems to be really a great device for sheets with MSP otherwise.
But these are my first impressions for my fellow MSPlers who are interested in this device. Also there's a thread at

I got most of my information from, in case anyone is interested.
