OK, I’ll finish up my experience with the Nova Pro. I got it to read ebooks, no other consideration. I wanted it to run my 3 most used apps, Nook, Kindle and Scribd, and it did and quite well. The screen is excellent and speed of operation is very good. Especially compared to the Likebook Mars which I found to be way too sluggish and have a relatively poor screen. That said, I still sent it back to Amazon. Here’s some of the reasons:
1. I found I prefer the dedicated readers with their buttons so I don’t always have to use screen taps or swipes. I hold the tablet in my left hand when I read in bed and the Nova Pro didn’t have a way for me to change screen taps on my used apps though I could for their built-in reader app.
2. The dedicated readers I have, Oasis 3 and Nook Glowlight Plus both have better screens IMO, and they have the page turn buttons. They are faster in doing their single job than the Nova Pro, but that is to be expected.
3. Scribd can’t be used on the Nook or Oasis but since I usually use it for audiobooks and much less for actual book reading, that’s not an issue. When I listen to an audiobook, I’m using my iPhone and not a reader or tablet.
A couple things stood out as unlikeable with the Nova Pro. First is the problem with the Nook app not every showing on the App screen. Not horrendous but irritating. Second is the shell they do in the UI which keeps you away from actual Android settings. I might have been able to twiddle with other boot loaders, but I didn’t buy it to twiddle with, I bought it to read books.
If I hadn’t gotten the Oasis 3 and Nook Glowlight Plus I probably wouldn’t have noticed the things that made me want to send the Nova Pro back. It is fairly priced, works well overall and there is a lot to love about it.
