Okay, still can't get the Kindle app to work, but Moon+ and the Kobo app (which I had to side-load) work great.

Below you will find some photos of the screen, I tried screenshots but they didn't come out so had to resort to my phone.

You can see the Launcher7 app, which I think works well here, nice big icons to select, and the SWButton app fits in nicely with the Launcher7 bar on the right to go to all apps.

Moon+ loads both itself and books quickly, and it runs perfectly, not keen on the font selections, but will work on that.

The Kobo app takes ages to load, and again ages to open a book, but once it does, it's as good as the Kobo firmware for reading. Again needs some work on the fonts, but it's fine for the most part.

One thing to make sure of is not to load anything that runs in landscape, the software can't handle it, so the touchscreen map is all messed up and you will need to restart the device. Be aware of this for example in the Play store if you are viewing screenshots of apps.

I'm going to pull apart the Tolino reader apk and see if I can translate it into English, but I won't be able to share the apk if I complete it as I don't want me or the forum to get into trouble, but I will tell people where to make changes if that is allowed. Got an 8 week old daughter though so dedicating time to this will be low on my priority list.
