Just wondering what the track record is for this model?

I know people report the Sun Spot effect if outside in direct sun.

I just read about issues with the KOBO APP ? is that still a thing (because most of my books are from Kobo)

There's been complaints about the Mars touch screen just dying, but how is the Ares?

I read that Ares had "crashing" issues, and "Battery Drain" issues but may have been fixed with the Android 8.1 update. Is battery an issue? (especially compared to Kobo?)

Really thinking about getting an Ares as my go-to eReader and Hand-written note taking (not going with an Alita word processing set up any more).

So:
Any Common and/or Known Issues/Bugs/Warnings about the Ares specifically?
(crashes, kobo app, quicker battery drain)

Can anyone list the Width & Height of Just the Viewing Screen?

How is the battery compared to say a Kobo ?

Thanks again
Appreciate the steer away from word processing in my other posts.
