Here I am playing with my new inkBook since about six o'clock.
In the box is the reader and an usb cable and 4 pages starting guide which I did not look at because I started to read the Quick Stard Guide which seemed to hold more information. But it is in several languages so it was not much more beside it had text in it.
So I probably made some mistakes. Now I got everything started I understand that I should have connected the reader to a powersource, in my case an USB of my laptop and leave it alone for an hour and a half. Then (this may be important but I am not sure) first safely remove the reader (I use Windows 10) then press on the text "Turn off USB storage". When the reader was disconnected I activated the wifi connection. The duration of this connection is a setting which is standardly only 5 min but can be prolonged to 10, 15, etc until allways. this probably makes your reading time shorter.
as soon as the wifi is connected an upgrade is offered, which was fairly quickly done.
Than I tried to install the KOBO program which did not go very well. This was surely because of the wifi connection that was lost after the upgrade and my exploring things.
After restoring the wifi connection the installation of Kobo went well. The logging in Kobo with my existing account was unclear but that has nothing to do with the inkBook.
I can read the Kobo books now. After that I added books with Calibre, via a micro SD card and via the USB cable. Everything worked.
The only thing I could not try is reading an Adobe protected book because I have only one and I tried to remove the DRM and now I suspect it is either damaged or I did something wrong. In fact it is not clear to me how to handle this. No problem I have only books with watermark DRM.
So as far as now I am content.
The thing that needs improvement is the USB connection on the side of the PC, if this is touched the connection is disconnected for a moment and that makes the file manager of windows make a sound like a new drive is connected, in fact this is so. I hope that this can be resolved.
If you have any specific questions I will try to answer them and if anything comes up in the next days I will report.
