Mine has been delivered - keep patient, Ereader Store is fully legit! The box is all in Chinese but shrinkwrapped, unlike the Max 2 I had received from Amazon. Will unwrap and report back.

Update 1: Unwrapped, turned on. Very preliminary impressions (made it past initial config screen, connected to Wifi, am downloading system update): Feels just the right size in hand; if Max 2 was too big, as it was for me, this will set you straight. The screen's resolution is very good, and sharp. Build seems to me better than Max 2, much narrower bezels. Despite same processor, feels a bit more responsive too, perhaps better firmware as opposed to the one I had when testing the Max 2. There is a spot in back which gets a bit warm _not hot_ , I guess it's due to the quad core processor. So far so good! Will update this post as I go along.
