I love both my Onyx and my Hisense devices. They work incredibly well for reading. However, it can sometimes be a bit of a challenge initially setting up a reading app for a grayscale screen. Sometimes it is very difficult to see the options and where to tap. Had that problem just today playing around with my Nova 3 Color. Thought I'd see what nighttime mode on Moon+ Reader looked like. It was beautiful. The only problem was that I could then not see the icon to switch it back to regular mode. It took a few attempts.

The user interface on both Onyx and Hisense also takes some getting used to. Personally, I think the benefits which these devices provide are well worth the investment in time necessary in learning to use them. However, I could see how many people who just want a simple reading device might become frustrated. Especially when instruction manuals are not well translated or written.

I find the culprit is usually Oynx's "Whiten App Background". It does more harm than good IMO. I turn it off in apps. Agreed that manuals could be better.

Responding to your other post, it is more so that the Kindle Android app dictionary doesn't seem to do as good a job deconjugating verbs than the eInk Kindles for some reason. At least from what I recall. I much prefer reading it vertically. More fun that way.
