First impressions - the screen is beautiful, and the LED front light is very even and nice.

But boy is this device buggy. Some of it may be user error since I'm a newb with android. I may be clicking the wrong areas or something. I'm not used to a touch screen.

When I got the device, I added just 1 epub which my PC's Calibre sent to the books folder. I also added my MP3 folder with subfolders directly to the root menu.

The book looks okay with the default reader, but the formatting is not as nice as it is on the Kindle. For example, there are sections which have extra line breaks which disappear on this device, so the text from different sections is not delineated.

I went to file manager and clicked on the internal folder and found my MP3 folder... and was able to play a single MP3. I wanted to make sure it went to sleep after it finished and expected to see it switch to sleep mode with the screen saver image after 2 minutes of inactivity when the MP3 was finished... but it never switched over to that.

Then I had a ton of trouble trying to adjust the font, and having the font suddenly change to either super tiny or really huge - usually when trying to bring up either the home button or the font settings.

And it seems like every time I close the font settings now, it goes back to the screen image for the MP3 I had previously played. It doesn't start playing it again, but it keeps going back to it like it is still an open priority.

I powered it off hoping that would help, but it hasn't really made a difference.

Well... I thought I would download the new firmware before trying any other apps to see if that would help. So I connected the WiFi and got the update downloading. It was slow so I turned off the LED light. It eventually said it was 100% downloaded, but I made the mistake of turning the light back on with the light bulb icon so I could see what I was doing... and then it went back to saying the download was at 0%. I tried to get it going again - I went back to update, and click it and then it says "Downloading... 0%" with the start button - I click the start button and nothing happens. So if it's already downloaded, how do I get it to install?

After clicking on update several more times with it still saying "Downloading 0%" ... it finally said "Downloading 24%" and then after a short time it rebooted... so I think the firmware was/is being installed.

I am also wondering about browsing books in my book folder. The home page shows a few recently read and recently added, but I can only see a few with the covers displayed. If I browse through the book folder, I only see them listed by authors, which is mostly meaningless to me. I really want to be able to browse the book folder by covers. How do I do that?


ETA: The new firmware installed, and at least now I am able to scroll the recently added books to see about a dozen more covers. It seems like the firmware update fixed that particular touchscreen issue, so I'm very happy about that.
