Not correct. The good reports come from users who can handle the device and who also know about the EInk possibility / weakness

I've never heard of Hoopla digital but there are likely other ways of accessing it than using these e-readers.

Also wrong: it is enough to search for Hoopla Digital in Google instead of writing confusing stuff

The big downsides are that they are incredibly slow to boot up

I don't know of any Android device that boots quickly.

and for me A2 mode is essential which brings in a bit of ghosting. There are also lots of bugs which don't seem to go. They sort one out and then something else is not right. Even with A2 to speed things up browsing isn't great. The imminent updating of Android is regularly mentioned but it never happens. Being able to return the Mars if you are unhappy with it is a sensible precaution. Amazon are generally helpful.

Even the update spoiled only need update fans, no one else.
In any case, I will not do it to my Likebook Alita - the device works great as it is.
And because you can't find your way with your Likita Alita, are you trying to deter other interested parties?
My tip: try to get to know your device.
