I have an Inkbook Prime, so I have been using their software for well over a year without any problems. So when this one was reduced to $139 I grabbed one. Soooo happy!

I liked this e-reader when I first got it. The 7.8" screen was easy to view, and it has manual page turn buttons on either side of the screen, which is always a plus for me. The USB plug is a type C. Most of my devices use a micro type A, but type C is okay, too. As I say, I was happy with it.That was then. Today, just three months after I got it, the USB plug _broke_. Neither the type C cable that came with it nor the one I keep at my computer can be inserted into the socket now. Since I use the USB both to move books from my computer to the reader and for charging this means the e-reader is now completely useless. What a waste of money!

Being open to android apps (sideloaded, not play store), this ereader is versatile, it can use almost any ebook reader - kindle, kobo, etc and KOReader from github.

Pros* Android 4.4. So I can install a bunch of stuff including Tachiyomi manga reader* it's really light to hold!* usb C and microsd slotCons* buggy (touch randomly not register, touch point A but it touched point b, etc)* slow, real slow* no gamma / contrast correction (so comics with bad contrast will looks washed-out)- bad quality control (thin line of shade on the bottom, "dented" bezel that can be pushed to be more flush, "dot" on bezel where its shoes the backlight)Despite all that cons, it's still a great value when it was sold at 140USD.
