The only reason I'm willing to pay more for a device that has a slightly worse display is that I value those PocketBook system features.

I want to believe that the missing things will be done in the next firmware.
There are a few betas available. A few weeks old at this moment.
Also keep in mind that it takes some time for hackers and developers to port a new fbreader or coolreader for the new model. It was like that with other models.
The feature I miss the most is the ability to choose the program for opening epubs.
vsftp program is working, so we have copy of default (internal) versions of configuration files. fsftp is a third-party program, an ftp server running on reader, so you can root in internal files on filesystem through WiFi from a PC on the same net.
Mind you, it is still MUCH more configurable system than other readers. I am just worried about the trend I see across several recent models.
