The first 10 inch Onyx Boox. Ignoring the problems with Android on a 16 levels of gray screen, nothing I did would get it to properly display ragged right text. It always justified it, which I hate.

Android on a grayscale screen is a mistake in my opinion. A lot of the colors they use work reasonably well on a color screen but when converted to 16 levels of gray you can get a light gray on a just slightly lighter/darker gray making things hard to discern.

Because it wasn't a licensed copy of Android you had to download and install the standard Android apps, which includes the Play store. I spent a lot of time going in circles trying to do that due to the above grayscale problem; there was a button I didn't see. And then when I did, trying different ebook readers was very disappointing (grayscale problems again), although koreader was a definite viable candidate. But by then I was so discouraged I gave up and went back to my Kobo Forma.
