1. How it compares readingwise to the kindle default - font clarity, sharpness, contrast, refresh speed
2. Have you noticed it using more battery and thus shortening the lifespan of the kindle or it is all the same?
3. Does it perform "indexing" of the books like the original kindle, i.e. if I load 800 books in it (organized in folders), will it handle these okay?
4. Anyone tried it with cyrillic file names/books?

I have seen the new versions lack english translation and trying to imagine how cool it will be working with chinese, but they will eventually add translation (I hope)

Thanks
1. Worse. I had Duokan in my K3 and I almost used it exclusively. In K4 the letters look very bad, like they were printed with less ink.
2. The old Duokan used a bit more battery, but not that much. I don't know about the K4. I don't think that there will be much difference (if any).
3. The good thing is that it can handle normal folders, so you can organize your Kindle like a USB drive with various folders.
4. No, sorry.
