OK here goes,
My unit arrived today 30 Dec, it was ordered on the 23rd Dec, that is impressive, I noted that it had travelled from the Netherlands to France, to India to China (where it probably originated) to Singapore thence finally to Australia (Sydney then Canberra). In other words my little new Icarus Bookreader is a far better travelled unit than I.
It was extremely well packaged, the notifications of its progress were prompt and accurate.
I have already downloaded my current ebooks via dropbox, and commenced to read on it.
However I have two criticisms, albeit minor, firstly nowhere in any instruction, either enclosed with it, or on the website were there any instructions on how to download, open and commence to read a book. I know! I know! There will be many of you cognescenti out there who will postulate "how stupid, didn't he know how to do that!, why that is basic." Nevertheless it took me three hours working it out when clear concise instructions would have been useful.
The second problem was the Kindle app, it kept reverting to the .au website when my account is with the US site; (there is s difference in availability and pricing between sites). I gave up on this in the end because I would rather read than stuff around with computers and their idiosyncrasies.
But on the whole I am impressed with the unit, it's speed and functions. In the words of the iconic Paul Newman "so far so good"
