Received my unit today. Wow, setting up this device really made me understand what people mean with these Android devices being hard to use.
It's taken me a couple of hours. A lot of bugs with permission management. I give app permissions, then they don't work. I have to open them up and deny the permission and then grant it again for it to work. USB connection between the device and my computer has been buggy. The device itself has had mini freezes throughout the process where the touch screen stops responding for a time.
The lack of a back button kills me. The swipe movements interfere with app functionality and often summons the keyboard for no reason in certain apps.
Goldendict doesn't work as it should. I installed the same dictionaries as on my other Android devices, but it just doesn't want to cooperate. Aard2 has some annoying animations when scrolling using the page turn buttons, which it doesn't have on my A9 with the volume buttons.
Finally, I started reading in Koreader. Made the huge mistake of swiping from the top down to summon the settings bar, activate the front light. Then I wanted to get back to reading. Forget about it, the top bar is now constantly visible, because apparently I just escaped fullscreen mode for ever.
Well, instead of hurling the device out the window, I'll take a deep breath, curse the world and go back to using my other readers to get something useful done tonight. I'll continue experimenting tomorrow. Not really looking forward to it.
