@petrovich. No need to find these two apks for me to test, I found them myself and tested them. Again, they work, but slower than the built-in byreader.
Furthermore, I think I experienced the downside of less memory (1GB) and single core CPU recently. I have a few EPUB files that are >40-50M in size. The built-in reader app took a long time (maybe 10-20 seconds) to load them in. But once loaded, paging turning would be smooth.
So, I would say the unit works fine with small files, but you may experience issues with large files. I will try some 100MB+ PDFs soon.
One more thing, today I put T80s and T103 side by side without back light on, and T103 screen did look darker, or a bit yellowish as user orebmur reported. I heard from a Chinese forum (Chinese is my native language) that the reduced reflective capablity is due to the fact that T103 has extra layers on top of eink: touch, magnetic writing, etc....I will find out more.
Overall, I would say it's an OK eink device. I hope one day we can have a 13.3 ich with even front lighting...that would be my dream device. In 2-3 years? I can dream....
