You may have to deal with a battery replacement some time. I'm not sure how similar the Poke2 is to the Poke3, but if you do replace the battery, I'd advice you to remove the two screws holding the power switch board and letting it flop so that when removing the battery you do not apply any tension to the flex cable/power switch board junction. Then you won't have to bypass broken connections like I did.

For thin bezel the Poke5 is pretty good.
OTOH, I haven't been able to root mine yet.

You're right, for those of us using these things as ereaders there is very little that Android 14 can offer us.
