That's the facts, probably equally important, after all, are the personal impressions:
- The Oyo is a basic down-to-earth no-frills provide-what-you-really-need device.
From that description you can see why the Oyo is for me: I don't mind the slow touch screen response because apart from the menu, I don't use it. The display speed has also been criticized, but it's quick enough for page-turning, and I don't require more from it.
Bottom line: My device. :-)

Hi CEW4!
Welcome to MR!
Nice to hear that you have found what you are looking for. You will have noticed that some folks are not very enthusiastic about the device as they don't like the screen-quality (it not being eInk and seen by some as somewhat on the greyish side). But well, it's a question of personal taste. I myself have no intention of sending my "old" lBook V3 / Hanlin V3 into retirement just because there are devices with better screens (and half it's original price) around ...
Have fun here!
All the best from the shore of the Baltic Sea!
