Would this be of use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ng.en_US&hl=en ?

For Android 2.3.3 and up and "Compatible with Moon+ Reader, FBReader and other applications via share button."

So, what's the verdict on the i86?

It sounds like the hardware is decent, but the software is rather lacking (I remember hating Android until 4.4).

The dictionary question above is a bit unsettling, for an ereader in 2015....

Would someone be able to read as on a Kindle or Kobo, basically by simply turning the device on, finding a book and enjoying it, or does it have enough quirks at this stage to be a hassle as a simple ebook reader?
