Mine arrived today and it did come with a matte screen protector for a nicer writing experience although getting it on without any bubbles might be an almost impossible task.
The build quality of the device itself is good, way better than an Onyx Boox M96C I had previously. The folio case is a bit cheap and has some tacky text on the cover which I would rather have not had but it's functional, slim and doesn't really add any weight to the device so that's all good.
I enabled Google Play framework easily enough - look for the settings icon on the Apps page in the 'User Settings' app. Then Google Play Store appears in the apps section. I tried Nebo but the latency was too high so it's pretty much unusable. I tried the built-in notetaker which was fast but the AI wasn't 100% and it's all a bit basic. I'm going to hunt around for something better with a cloud option so I can access my notes from laptop and other devices.
Other than that, my initial impressions are that the device is well made, the screen is bright and the device is responsive. It feels a little faster than my Mars so maybe the extra RAM makes a difference. Writing in the default notes app is a good experience with the screen protector but lack of features, limited AI and lack of Cloud storage really means I'm not going to use the default app. I'll use it for a few days and report back, but my impressions so far are favourable.
