I have Note Lite, I think Note Lite is a good e-reader that I will recommend it to my friend.
In my opinion, Note Pro should be better than Note Lite except its glass screen.

At the moment it's very buggy. For example, I've uploaded all of my books to it and have set it to sort the library by author and it shows a few whose author's last name starts with A, then shows some C authors. If I long click/press on a book, in the box that comes up the Title: and Author: fields are empty. I've installed FBReader, Moon Reader, and Koreader; when I long click/press on a book, in the box that comes up when I tap Open With it only gives me Neo Reader as an option.
A problem that's not specific to this ereader but all eink android readers is that apps that aren't specifically written for a grayscale screen often (typically) don't work well. Their UI can use different colors for contrast, e.g, a yellow clickable thing on a blue background, but when those colors are mapped to grayscale they can end up being very close in grayscale values and then it's very difficult to figure out what's on the screen. I briefly fiddled around with android development and I don't recall seeing a flag that says the screen is grayscale, although back then I don't think there were any grayscale screens. I started thinking about what advantages android provides and I haven't been able to come up with anything. It does give you a windowing system, so to speak, but given the simple job ereaders do that seems to be not too difficult to roll your own for the developers. They're all using linux from what I've heard (as does android) so multitasking is already there.
