Ask and you shall receive
As I said before, to get Moon+ Pro on it you need to sideload the apk file. And you definitely need to customize the fonts the first time after opening, otherwise it is very much grey on grey.
After experimenting with several pdf readers, I found I prefer Foxit PDF, it has the most clear buttons, and easily accessible options, unlike Adobe. Reflow does work well, even on complex multi column text with figures spanning several columns, unfortunately, the images don't render in the reflow as they should. In general, pdf reading is not ideal even at the reader of this size, but it definitely works.
It is impossible to set any program you instal yourself as a default reader, and anything you open in these programs does not show up in the Recently Read. So for Moon+ you either need to rely on the internal organization within the app, or Calibre Companion. Using Nova Launcher (which I didn't show) it is possible to completely change how the home page looks and use the Calibre Companion widget to make a working Recently Read list.
Although if you do install Nova Launcher, suddenly all the hidden programs will be seen, and you should not touch DeviceTest. I played around with it a bit, and it screwed being able to tap to change pages (swiping did work, but tapping changed every other page). I think I was able to fix it and recalibrate, but it was an unpleasant day.
I've installed DeepSleep, it says that on the full charge the device has 50 hours active use. If I don't use frontlight or wifi or anything else to actively drain the battery, I think that this is more or less spot on. With the screen off, not using the device at all but not turning it off completely, battery drains ~5% in a day, though.
