I finally got the USB cable working. I don't know what the problem was- maybe I just hadn't pushed it hard enough. It charged but didn't show up in Win10 on the PC. Now it does. Before that, I did install from Google Play Kobo, Kindle, Pocket and X-plore for file management. All worked OK. There is a pre-installed app for using Wifi to copy files from a PC to the Illumina. It puts everything into a pre-defined folder, which is why I installed a file manager to create folders and move around files. The pre-installed file manager doesn't provide that functionality. The app for copying files via WiFi is in Chinese but there are only a few buttons so it is easy to figure out. The link that Icarus provides for StarDict is also all in Chinese and that is not easy to figure out. I think it is a misdirection. BTW, when I ejected the ereader in Windows 10, it showed up as Boyue.
The software is a bit retro (you feel the bits between your toes) but the hardware is working well.
