My "rants" on this device warrant their own section?

Including this post, I have just 8 posts in this thread, one of them not even specifically related to this device.

Whether the majority of users are happy with their devices or not, I don't know yet. I suspect many of them haven't had very much time yet to get acquainted with their devices. I was simply pointing out some of the issues which were arising.

As I noted in a different post, there are usually birthing pains with any device. There certainly have been with the Boox Max and with the Kobo Aura One.

How a campaign is run and how issues are dealt with are important considerations when looking to make any major purchase.

Exactly. However, this device was not touted as simply being an ereader. It was stated, "The Good e-Reader 13.3 Inch has full support for Google Android Market, which has over a million apps." That doesn't seem to be the case...

It was also stated, "One of the most exciting things we are doing is getting a proper USB Host Controller system working on our device, so you can attach a keyboard and use it to navigate around or simply be more productive." That was 11 months ago, and the campaigners have known for at least 10 months that there was no host controller in their device, yet they never bothered to mention that in any of their updates. Instead, the information was buried in the comments section on their blog...

This might be useful information to anyone thinking about purchasing such a device.

Personally, I hope everything works out for all involved. Competition is good for driving innovation. However, I am curious as to why you seem to want to silence honest discussion on the topic.
