Wow, that's a real disappointment. It's USB 2, not USB 3.1 (like the Poke3).
Ok, you can argue that the difference is negligible, but it's still one more corner cut.

Well, in any case that means you can use your skinny USB 2 Type C cable and not the beefy USB 3 cable that might stress the connector.

And that font thing needs looking into...

I did, it's that stupid "App optimization" with a density default of 350 DPI (on a 300 DPI screen).

Ah! There's the new? "Master switch". You set it to a slash through it to disable all so-called enhancements.
The worst of these is the one that turns a black line on the left half of the screen to a full line.
That wrecks havoc on my progress bar on my reader.

ALSO, the bezel eats quite a few pixels of the display, even more than the Poke3.
I'll have to come up with some numbers on that.
