(in the beginning, my complete subjective rating from 0 (irrelevant for me) to 10 (really important to me))
  • (8) temporarily disabling capacity screen / finger touch, preferably with a toggle like for the screen mode in the notification bar
    - in other apps, e.g. the sheetmusic app, otherwise finger touch counts as drawing
  • (9) shortcut to screen refresh (long press of menu button, tapping the clock) should work also in A2 mode
    - it is where ghosting is most relevant - or am I missing something?
  • (8) long press on back button could trigger turn to home screen
    - that would be a simple and easy shortcut
  • (2) the rotation app that is supposed to start with powerup is not starting and needs to be started manually
  • (7) google play: both the InAppPurchases and the Contacts do not work
    - a pity, e.g. when you want to write emails
  • (2) Browser - when I set "most visited pages" as the default new tab location,
    I get "Connection problem net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED"
  • (9) Neoreader - display dual page display in landscape rotation
    - that is the only reason I am not using the stock app for my sheet music - I love the easiness of annotating in the app, but I need to be able to have two pages on display at the same time
  • (7) Neoreader: when annotating, you can't write in the top area of the pdf because it is covered by a menu bar (undo, save, redo etc)
    - either make possible to slide the bar up or to the side, or make the pdf fit the screen below the bar
    - I need that area to annotate scores very frequently and can't access it
  • (5) Neoreader: annotation drawn with Pen is also visible on the next page, when I turn to it.
    Opening and closing the pdf resolves that issue, then the annotation only appears on the correct page
    This is NOT a ghosting issue, for the first it is equally clear on both pages, and a screen refresh does not resolve it.
  • (6) Notes app: I would like to have the notification bar visible in the app to have easy access to its features
    - e.g. recent apps,
  • (8) Notes app sometimes hangs for between several seconds up to almost half a minute
    - I have not been able to establish what triggers that - the screen gets completely unresponsive, and after the timeout, everything works again (including the penstrokes that where done during "time out")
  • (5) Notes app: possibility for batch renaming and moving notes
    - right now, you have to do it one by one
  • (3) reflection
    - sometimes it is irritating, though tilting the device almost always helps.
  • (5) I would love USB OTG - both for USB mass storage and USB keyboards
  • (2) Power button location
    - the rotation app is good enough a workaround for me
  • (6) Lock screen - with password or pattern

These things set aside, I am really happy about the reader. It works better for me as a musician than I had hoped for, and the possibilities as a "tablet" with other apps are far better than expected.
The scribbling is working fantastic. Screen a little bit grayish, but you get used to it.
Added the last point - the absence of a lock screen.
