purchased this unit. while testing in the store was satisfied - and how can it be different, if this is the first book I ever used. I liked that through the browser, by the very first links in Yandex, I downloaded the first book, and the archive, which opened immediately to the regular reading room, and you could start reading. it seemed to me - and what else is needed)))
I bought a gift for my wife - I hope to accomplish my goal after a month of use and there will be no problems.

The Darwin series is very convenient for management, but I have doubts about the cullet. I have absolutely no luck with this.

Here too. There was Darwin the first, I often fall asleep with a book, in the end I crushed the screen in my sleep. I have already been using MC1 for a year and a half, the flight is normal, sort of. Darwin had good navigation buttons in the pros and less blinked screen plastic. The MS has a much better screen, both in terms of resolution and quality, a bullet-proof case, but less convenient navigation buttons and glass glare stronger in the sun.

xGREGORYx @ 03/04/19, 13:10

To summarize, the MS owners should buy the MS4 only if you have discomfort with the current highlight and really want a two-tone one. Exactly quite thoughtful and meaningful desire.
Well, if absolutely not satisfied with the current autonomy.

And what is wrong with autonomy? It seems that the MC keeps the battery well.

[xGREGORYx]

Glassperl, MS battery does not hold very, frankly. It's all in sleep mode. Consider it as not. If the book is not read at all, then it will be able to stretch for 11 days. Without WiFi enabled naturally. Just lies in airplane mode. If you read the book, it may not be enough for a week. I, in principle, it was normal, I always had auto power off. But here some comrades made a rustle about it ...

Glassperl @ 4.03.19, 22:23

The MS is much better at the screen itself, both in terms of resolution and quality.

Here I do not agree. The quality is the same. If you compare, for example with Darwin 2, 4 or 6, then the resolution is the same. If with Darwin 1, then the difference is only in resolution.

The screens are essentially the same. In 6 "readers, either E-ink Carta or E-ink Carta Plus is now used. The difference is in higher resolution. And they are not divided into better and lower quality ones.
It seems to me that it seemed to you that the MC has a better screen, because it is on a par with the body. It feels like priam on the chtoli surface)), And so, in general, if you compare Darwin 2, 4 and 6 screens with E-ink Carta Plus and MC screen, then they are identical :).

koan1987 @ 03/04/19, 11:50

where the damn playmarket ???)))

In the first MC there is a playmarket, but I’m mingling it was useful only once: put AllReader. The OReader standard is the same AllReader, the current with the cut-out functions that do not belong to E-Ink screenshots, animations and so on. But for some reason they also sawed out a smooth adjustment of the font thickness, which is quite enough to feed itself on E-Ink. The usual font seems to me to be too thin, and the usual font is too bold. And in the full version of AllReader, you can smoothly increase the thickness, seven steps, so I use it. But you can also just download and install the ARC.

then hereOnyx Boox Monte Cristo 4 [Android]

[xGREGORYx]

abs063Wow, I didn’t know anything about this topic. He wrote here. It turns out, offtopil ...

koan1987So I wrote in my review that there is none. Or are you interested in the reasons? If in a nutshell, Google for certification has become more money to take and Onyx decided to save on this. In principle, yes, if the book is on Android, then there should be a Play Market. At least in the PCT version (that is, in books from the Mac Center). But, as I already wrote, I do not consider it a minus. Firstly, you can install it yourself, really, and secondly, you can install the necessary applications with apk files. But the battery will be less spent.
The only complaint, it seems to me it would be fair if the price would be reduced for readers without a Play Market. Onyx saves money on this, but we don’t have any dividends. But it is so, cavil.

xGREGORYx
I was not attentive, I repent))) did not compare what it is you in the report on this model, thought about the "fundamental concept".
I also do not consider myself to be a minus, and yes, I agree. price tag and could lower. but reducing the price tag is not about our "state" at all. Unfortunately(((
abs063,
Understood, we throw in the next topic: heppy_dancing:

[Albertson]

I don’t have a present, Monte Crysto 2, I haven’t been on the forum for a long time and then I saw (finally appeared!) An update from December 2018. From the fact that the firmware has improved, this is only the charging indicator dying out at the end of it. As the battery sat down during the night from 75 to 2%, it remained. As the backlight didn’t turn off when the cover was closed, it didn’t turn off. The book was disassembled, I have an old battery from Meizu, for 3000, I decided to change. In the book, the battery costs one and a half times the size! It is written-3000! In appearance, I would rate it at about 4,500. Today, just the situation ... removed from charge-100%. Read with backlight, 25% in approximately 20 minutes, 77%. Put to sleep An hour later, turn on-62%! I read another hour! 12%! And I do not close the cover of the cover of the book. Now, with the battery, Meizu turned on, lay, shine, it was 67%, half an hour shines, 67%

[Albertson]

Albertson,With a new (old battery), the discharge began with 67%, a day and a half passed, I read a little more than a thousand pages, all with backlight. At present, 50%. Over the night it took 3-4%. For me, so good result. Everything seems to be in the battery case. In many ways, at least. And the night consumption is surprising, my smartphone eats less. But there is still a connection to the network!

[Furtikov]

I have MS2 working for three days somewhere. 30-40 hours of battery life. I turn off the book for the night. You can live.
There is some kind of problem not with the battery itself, but with its controller. It has long been known to have cured the problem only in MC4. Just put another iron, and everything became good.

[Albertson]

Furtikov,One more observation, after connecting to the computer for downloading fb2, a wild battery battery appeared. The reboot helped.

[stich81]

Guys, how does one hold the battery? It’s very bad for me - 100% to 76% a day, then 12 hours to 23% and after 3-4 hours it is cut down ... Standby, no applications, WiFi and a tooth. I handed over two times to the store, they did the reset and diagnostics - they said it works normally, there are no problems. I think the expertise ordered. The book is like. But such autonomy in my opinion is a significant drawback.

[RosVV]

stich81, not treated, corrected only in MS4, hand over the book, in previous posts and sample applications for refund were posted

[Necron04]

imintsev, imintsev, Hello. And how did you manage to pass the book. I bought Darwin 4 autonomy of work 10 - 15 days. No firmware The forum is silent. While reading 30 percent in 3 hours. Well, the discharge in the mode of the book off. How to pass. Just called in tp. Dns. They insist on warranty repair only.

[NetFarmer]

Necron04 @ 03/18/19, 5:46 pm

No firmware

I didn’t wait for the MC4 at one time and bought the PB 632 that appeared then. It is almost the same age as the book - but on PB the 4th update came already from that moment.

[Vidmo]

Good day. Something incomprehensible happened to our ONIX Monte Cristo 2. Until recently, everything was fine. But today, when you try to download a book from WiFi on the sitehttps://fantasy-worlds.org- nothing happens - either the download fails - or the download with the message is in the download folder - “In progress” .... Do not tell me what this can be connected with, and how to fix this glitch ...

[xGREGORYx]

Vidmo, Put another browser. For example Opera. And download. It happens sometimes.

NetFarmer, Still there the updates did not arrive, in the same place the reader does not update. Here is the Android. Base, in fact, OReader. The main program for reading. And here it can be updated without waiting for the firmware.
Updates here and not really needed, to be honest, since the main problem is still not fixed, it is in the gland.

[imintsev]

Necron04,I applied a sample application.
In short, you have the right to 3 options if you find a significant drawback:
1) elimination of deficiency within 45 days
2) exchange for a device without shortage within 20 days
3) termination of the contract of sale within 10 days
Take my application as a template, print in 2 copies and go to the store (not in service) and insist on termination of the contract
If they write in the acceptance report a phrase about repairs, simply cross out and write "cancellation of the contract"
I in my statement indicated all the articles of the law.
Yes, part of the claims is bordered by nonsense, but such is the law. Believe me, it is easier to return a product that does not meet the stated characteristics than just a buggy device.
Write that you have been promised Google play, but at some point it stopped working, and for you it significantly and violates your rights to complete information about the purchase and not the ability to use the applications you have purchased. Well, etc. My statement has it all. This is a significant drawback impossible to eliminate.

No need to call, print a statement and walk with your feet.
My refund took 30 minutes, taking into account the store manager’s expectations.

Sorry for oftop and repeat, just answered the question.
