I have now used i86 for a while and found the problems listed below. Can someone check and confirm so that I can add them to the
wishlist, please? I will update this post with the firmware version shortly, I don't have the reader on me right now.
- The power button placed at the bottom of the unit, the location is wrong and it is easy to depress it during the usage of the reader. It should really be at the top of the device.
- There is no indicator showing whether the backlight is on or off. It is impossible to say during the day by just looking at the screen.
- Unable to install Dropbox (works on M96). Says it's incompatible with the device.
- When scribbling in Neo Reader the eraser in 'line mode' switches itself off after a single tap (works fine on M96).
- The same eraser is VERY inaccurate, I actually thought it was broken but then I managed to clear the scribble by positioning my finger far above and to the right of the scribble. I thought that it may be a calibration issue, but scribbling itself *is* accurate. I could not find a 'Calibrate' option anyway.
- Sometimes, I don't know what triggers that, the display turns everything into 'porridge'. I haven't seen it happening in M96 but at least a long press of 'Home' button in M96 does a full screen refresh. I don't see a way to manually refresh the screen in i86.
- The system-wide contrast setting sometimes lags (e.g. when browsing web pages) which results in this 'animation' where you can see blocks of the screen becoming dark one after another until the page fully loads. It's quite distracting.
