ottischwenk is again demonstrating his complete lack of tact and his inability to accept a criticism of these Android devices. I have owned the Alita for a year and have found it a decent e-reader but that's about it. Support is hard to find and the much anticipated Android 8.1 update when finally delivered has made no apparent difference. Android tablets are slow and require a steeper learning curve than people expect. I can't comment on how the Alita compares with other similar devices but there does seem to be a pattern with the products. The software is buggy because rather than fix things they happily plough on releasing a new device which again has issues. As for hoping to use one of these e-readers as a satisfactory replacement for a PC - dream on. They are expensive niche products and finding a reliable review is not going to be easy. Reviews will likely be negative as with my comments or you will get the ottischwenk version bigging thing up and blaming issues on the ignorance of users. Proceed with caution.
