It feels fragile but with gentle care and a case it's alright, firmware updates aren't sparse, and apps from google play and f-droid work just fine. - Can be used for both scrollable content, but the text rendering quality will be lower. As also for page layouts, which is preferable for the color accuracy, and crisp quality. + And now for a formal introduction - Also worth noting - the Boox UI allows for acceptable customizability to make interface and reading experience more comfortable. - -*** Cons, go as follows: - - - Costly, it feels cheap to hold and use. Being purly plastic, without screen protection ootb doesn't help much, I am afraid of letting it go without attention because I fear a person just sitting on it will cause tha tablet to snap like a post box; - - Obviously get a V2, but make sure it wasn't overshadowed by another Boox release because they like releasing new versions unannounced, more on that later; - - If you want to use it as a Dumb Phone - *stop*. It's not just slow on Input, it also can eat keyboard strokes. So Chatting and Note Taking are dead. +** Shandara! + This is unsponsored ad of android Eink tablet that I used for a year now. -- 2.51.2
