Greetings to all in MR!
I have been doing research since the beginning of this month after realizing the importance of a e-book reader that will aid in shortening the overall dependence on LCD laptops for reading and increase the overall learning satisfaction.
After narrowing my choices to either PB 902 or Kindle DXG, and much careful considerations, I decided PB902 had the closest technical specifications that I needed. Over 90% of covered materials on my reading list included technical guidebooks and academic textbooks which are formatted in PDF, and so all the more reason a 9.7" screen would be better suited for this purpose.
Here's the dilemma:
+PB902 hung and entire screen becomes blank after firmware update. The user had to remove battery, and placed it back before restarting the system.
+Fully functional dictionaries became trial software after software conflict with newly updated firmware. The issue remained the same even after the new firmware was downgraded to previous working version.
There might be other issues I am unaware of but it raised serious concerns for me that the firmware might not be stable yet. To be fair, there are also PB902/3 users who seem happy with their products. I would be glad for anyone to prove me wrong or at least shared their experiences. It can be quite a daunting experience if I would to spend over $400 and received a less than satisfactory performance in the device.
Looking forward to replies!
