I have been using the device for a while now and I do like it a lot, it is faster than my old e-book reader, the screen is much better (both larger and clearer).
There are some problems that I am still experiencing and I hope they can be fixed with new firmware updates.
1. Zooming and random page flipping. I was on a bus yesterday and couldn't read anything with the reader because it flipped pages and changed zoom levels all the time (1-5 page flips in one go) in 5 minutes I managed to read about ½ page.
2. The devices get stuck "thinking" sometimes it takes forever to do a simple thing like a page flip and I have no idea why, I usually think is due to the IR-sensor not reacting to what I've done and retry. The device will then, after a while, execute every command which usually ends up with several page flips or zoom changes. Sometimes it drops out to the menu and all my actions are then executed and it ends up doing something I did not intend to do.
3. The device still uses quite a lot of battery when in stand by mode.
4. Page numbering is strange when reading e-pubs. It seems to read the page numbers from the book itself so when I flip one page it says it flipped three (the screen is a lot larger that the size the book was designed for I guess), quite confusing at first.
5. Is not really a bug but when using wifi and surfing to the boox site the bookmark is only to the chinese version and I can not find a link on that page for the english version.
The IR-button is rendering the device useless in some cases and the slow periods makes it annoying, but I like it otherwise.
