Also heavier than my 10" Lenovo tablet! Really tiring. It was intended for academia and it was a failure for text books:
1) Too slow
2) Not enough flash on board or no SD card slot
3) GUI really only suits fiction, too limited ability to quickly flick between books.
4) Poor to none ability to annotate PDFs. Most academic titles PDF.
5) Resolution a bit too poor for technical documents.
6) No ability to set/date time if battery goes flat.
7) No auto crop of PDF margins.
8) No support (except some greek letters) for Asian, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic etc, even though a solved issue maybe 15 years earlier on the actual OS.
9) Cover not built-in, supplied standard, needed for Uni Students and bags.

Basically a KK2 with a bigger screen and metal case.
Very well said!
