Since lots of curious users are permanently asking, how to install to Onyx Boox M96 and T68 some apps, which are not visible in Play Store by default because of compatibility issue, I have here some more detailed instructions:
First step - root your device:
After reboot is all done. YOur boox is rooted now. If you don't have Any Key on your keyboard, please ask your PC seller for proper keyboard with this special key ;-)
You already can install some useful apps, which require root mode. (E.g. my first choice could be AdAway)
Second step
That is it.
You can close the browser, go to the Play Store and install every application you desire now.
e.g. IVONA TTS, Acapela TTS, Safari to go, ....etc. ...
After reboot your Boox will forget, that it was for a short time Samsung Galaxy S3 once ;-) If you want to install incompatible apps, you have to use the magic of Market Helper again.
After installation of Onyx updates the root mode will go off, but all yours installed apps will be there and keep working just fine. If you want to install new incompatible stuff - go to the step 1.
First step - root your device:
- download this program: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...Bin4ry_v33.zip
- Unzip it on your PC.
- USB debugging mode on your Boox must be on (is on by default). You can check it in apps->settings>developer options.
- Connect your Boox to this PC.
- Start RunMe.bat in unzipped folder. You will see a DOS window. Select option "1. New Standard-Root (thx Ariel Berkman)" and enter.
- You will be asked to confirm backup operation. On Boox click on "Backup my data" once.
- In DOS window you will be asked to "press any key" and afterwards to confirm RESTORE MY DATA. Click "Restore my data" on Boox and afterwards go back to DOS window on PC and press "Any Key".
- You Boox will reboot. After rebooting of Boox press Any Key in DOS window again. Your Boox will reboot a second time.
After reboot is all done. YOur boox is rooted now. If you don't have Any Key on your keyboard, please ask your PC seller for proper keyboard with this special key ;-)

Second step

That is it.
