Well, it arrived on Monday. Turns out they sent me an older model that does not have the FM radio capability listed in the description, so they are giving me a partial refund of $8.00.
It's not a bad little reader, so far at least, for the price, although the instruction manual is written in some of the most atrocious "Chinglish" I have seen thus far, and the default menu was Chinese so I had to fumble through the menus before stumbling upon the one that switched it to English. It has quite a few features on it besides ebook reading, including video playback, voice recording, calendar (with memo capability), and audio playback (nice if you like audio books - or old time radio shows, like I do!
). It has a RockChip RK2738 SDK processor in it. My only real gripe, so far, is it does not seem to accept metadata from Calibre, and archiving is strictly by author and then alphabetical by title - rough, if you like reading series and don't know what the next novel in the series is. The touch-screen is resistive rather than capacitative and some functions are easier to access with a stylus for precision. But, as I said, so far for less than $40 it's not a bad reader.
