I have it. I like it for doing what it promises (android eink device), but I am a bit deceived also.
- the storage capacity is annoyingly small (8Gb) for an android device. Per se it would not be a big issue for a device mainly dedicated to reading, but updates require > 3Gb of free space that force me to clean local cache and uninstall applications when updating.
- the battery duration is OK for reading, but as soon as I turn on WiFi and/or BT drops rather quickly (I do not think it would last 2 days even with the device in sleep). By comparison my ipad mini that is 10 years old can still survive 1 week in sleep mode with WiFi on
- the UI is slow, and sluggish: I stopped reading the morning news on this because it's too frustrating. Also external links on email often crash the browser.
- for some reason that I cannot rationally explain the fonts on my kindle keyboard 3G (~10years old) that the poke4 is replacing look slightly nicer.
- despite showing the location item, it does not seem to include GPS: i was hoping I could use to brose maps offline when travelling, but no.
I still advise overall, as I think having android is a big plus against an entry kindle or kobo, but be aware of those shortcomings!
