Got my P78 last night. It is a tad heavy, but also noticeably larger than the Pocketbook Touch 3 HD it is replacing. I will miss the book cover as wallpaper feature, but at least I can add custom wallpapers to it. Wallpaper images are stretched to fit the screen, so best results if you resize or crop to 1404x1872 beforehand.
Settings are all over the place, and somewhat obtuse. the user manual is next to useless. One can sync to Calibre (Linux), but transferring files from Dolphin does not work. Had to resort to a Windows interface. Haven't tried using thunar, but that is on my list.
Not sure about the built-in reader, yet. I can install Cool Reader, but not able to get Pocketbook through the extremely limited app store, nor, funny enough, from Play via the browser (because play doesn't recognize the reader, it seems). I might try sideloading the apk at some point.
I need a cover, though the selection seems to be two similar models... mayhaps I will have to build something myself, if I can find the time.
Anyhow, it's early days. I have 11Gb of books on right now, and waiting for a SD card and we will try audiobooks and BT.
