A clearer picture of the 13.3" GoodEreader seems to be emerging. Users seem to be very happy with build quality, but frustrated by software issues and lack of basic support.

I have tried various versions of the google app store and various versions of google play services. All crash before I am able to perform updates or installs (have now given up with this)
I have found the Dolphin Browser from the GoodReader app store to be solid and reliable.
Amazon Kindle 4.8.0.188 works well for me so far
Evernote 7.2 seems to work ok and takes notes etc (I need to use it hard to test it). I wil try more recent versions.
Nova launcher is fun as the animations can be shut off but it really need a White theme (still looking)
As I now have a machine I can use I might try some other fun apps plus some productivity.
When the reader is running... ie between crashed... it is a great piece of kit. I do hope that the netronix team or goodereader can get the os stable and the Play Store functioning reliably.
Question.. does anyone have the Google Play Store working reliably?
The forum is a great idea but tricky to work with... and it seems to be down right now... hence reporting here.
Throughout this whole campaign the GoodEreader team have been really bad at updating. I am seeing the same consistent behaviour in the support threads. Some very simply question are not getting answered. This worries me.
The simplest of those questions is.. Will this device be getting a firmware upgrade to android 5.0? I wish to also ask.. Will this device be getting a firmware upgrade at all?
To finish my ramble. I want to say. I love the device. Its big.. light.. not too slow.. build seems great.
It just needs stability which I think is alllllll software.
Would love to know what you guys have experienced with the device... any tips and tricks etc..
