-Then I traced their email origin and found out they are in China.
-After my complaints, they started to lie. First, they said the device is New. Then they said, A repaired item is New according to EU laws. I live in the EU and I know the laws.
Then they said it belonged to somebody else that they repaired and sent by mistake and sent mine to him.
-Then they said the fault was dead pixels and that was repaired.
-After I pointed out that there was nothing wrong with pixels and the original fault was device hanging up. came the beauty;
They replied;
OMG (exactly their words) in this case we made a mistake, we sent you a faulty device from another buyer.
Oh well, I suppose I have to live with that!!!
I am now waiting for a reply from Paypal to get a refund.
I have been wasting more than 2 months on this device and ereader store says I should be grateful because they made no profit and they didn't ask for compensation from me!!!
Note: the device was dead on arrival and I reported it ONE hour after I got delivery by UPS.
I wish to put all this to forum and more I have found out about ereader store, but not sure if forum admin will allow that.

I'm very surprised too.
"Then I traced their email origin and found out they are in China.", I don't know what you traced, but I can guarantee you that the company (ereader.store) is based in Germany, because it's not far from where I live. I met in the past the company owner as well and he's a very kind person. The last winter I've had a problem with my Onyx Note (motherboard problem) and it has been repaired in few weeks. Luckily the device was still under warranty and I didn't have to pay anything. My Onyx Note works very good now.
