there is no button at ALL (except power button).

Coming from Sony PRS and Boox T68, I absolute hate it, I dont understand why there is not even one physical button just you should have because the screen button sometimes does not register all the taps.

Build quality is also questionable, it is all plastic, unlike the all metal build of the PRS 350. When I tried to take the Poke 3 off from the official boox poke 3 case where it is adhere using two adhesive strips, the Poke 3 case is so strong that it managed to snap the back casing off the Poke 3 (yes the poke 3 is just two chear plastic case snapped together with no glue or screws). Either the strip is too sticky or the casing of the POke 3 is too weak, both case and the poke 3 is of bad design.


software is okay at 7.5/10
hardware is disappointing at 3/10
