Some initial thoughts:

Pros:
- Decent build quality (long press back button to adjust brightness is a nice touch), page turn buttons also better than expected.
- Good for reading PDFs and Epubs
- Good size for handheld use
- Great resolution for comics
- Bluetooth keyboard pairs nicely
- Satisfied with touchscreen responsiveness
- Apps work well for the most part, so far I tried gmail, rss reader, jotterpad, google drive, etc
- Built-in reader better than expected

Cons:
- Not a fan of the home launcher, too much empty space. I'd much rather have a small row of apps or widgets for wifi, orientation (no landscape option?), etc.
- A2 pretty much useless (font becomes so light it's unreadable)
- 500mb too limiting, I installed 5 apps and it took up 300mb already.
- Kindle app takes a long time to load (is there a work around?)
- Included apps kind of useless, like the clock and onyxscribbler
- Too easy to press the wifi toggle when pressing for notification on top bar
- No dictionary built in?

My main gripes are software issues, let's hope Onyx is on top of that (might take a while tho).
