Also in the video they're comparing Kindle Voyage's software, which is completely tweaked to display the few file-formats that it "can" in the best way possible, but the preloaded apps on Boyue T62+ (like most other Android devices) in one word "SUCK"! They're just there to show that this device is capable of doing all these stuff and opening numerous eBook file-formats!
You'd get many more font/visual options, much higher qualities, and faster response through better Apps like Moon+ Reader Pro, Manatano Premium, Aldiko, Adobe Reader and many others.
I uninstalled/disabled most of the preloaded apps in the first few days of using this device and have been using the apps i mentioned since; all work great almost all the time and the text/image quality is very much better on them compared to the preloaded apps!

I just assumed they received their T62 before they started shipping the T62+... which I thought was very recent. In their written review, they write that their T62 has a Pearl screen. Perhaps they just didn't realize it's the T62+ with the Carta screen? I was really hoping it was the Pearl, and that mine will look sharper.
So, the reading app can make a big difference as far as the sharpness of the text? Which reading app looks sharpest in your opinion?
I did not realize there was such a huge difference in resolution between the two devices. It's very important for me to have good contrast on my reading device. The T62 looks so washed out next to the Voyage. The front light should help though. In another video review of the T62, the front light looked amazing, and the text looked very sharp to me.
It should at least be a big step up from my old Kindle Keyboard.
