Here are my experiences so far. Overall I am happy with it.
The light is very even. Both colors are good. Not a fan of the sliding scale but its no big deal. I have sensitive eyes and I can use it in a pitchdark room.
I have installed a lot of apps via sideloading and it can take anything. I rooted it with evil kingroot but I need root for button saviour. I use it a lot.
The UI is okay. Not as good as relaunch so I might run relaunch. That is the beauty of this beasty. You can customize.
The screen and contrast are good enough. I'm used to a nook STGL and a Paperwhite 2. Its comparable to the PW.
The screen sensitivity is on the weak side, but again its okay. I installed perfect keyboard and I get excellent results of accuracy when typing.
I generally use an old version of alreader with goldendict, and selecting words takes two touches. But the word select is fine in neoreader. I've just grabbed a bunch of bgl dictionaries co verted to stardict so I expect to move to neoreader when reading other languages where I use the dictionary a lot.
I'm glad I got the pro. The OS uses some of the RAM so I think 8 gb would be restrictive. I need 16 gb because I'm always installing stuff etc.
A weak point is the battery. I wouldn't trust a single charge on a long flight. I need to install an app to see what processes are sucking it up. Maybe its just the fast CPU and Android 6. I don't care much. I recharge and keep on backup nook on lonv journeys. The poke turns itself off completely. I dumped that and set it to sleep instead. I put it to sleep via button savior.
Browsing on it is really good with a2 mode. Real smooth and not much ghosting. Impressive. I installed bromite on it and it worked. Using button saviour I flip around beteen alreader, the browser and instapaper. Amazing stuff. Sucks battery while you do it though.
Overall I like it. Its a fun toy and ereader.
