The rest I've sideloaded through apkpure etc.

Everything else I've installed works fine (Librera, Moon+, Scribd, Libby + a couple local library apps) but some apps tend to forget login information or need several attempts to log in, and I think this might be the problem with Google Play Store as well.

Once you get apps running/books transferred, reading is fantastic and compares very well to the Kobo Aura One.

First impressions: Very good but needs a lot of software work.
Thanks a lot for posting your experience!

When you say Google Play Store worked only once, does it mean after restart was not functioning anymore? What happened for it to stop functioning?

When you say "it needs a lot of software work" do you mean it because you must install all apps manually?

Thanks again!
