I decided to pull the trigger and add the GL 4 Plus to my collection! Since its firmware is based on Android, I have spent a little time seeing to what extent I could make use of that. I have installed a simple launcher, a browser, and a few apps. This is without rooting this device. They all seem to be working so far. My device won't connect with Calibre, though my Mac "sees" it. Android File Transfer comes up right away. I could install Calibre Companion as a way to address the connectivity issue.
I haven't done any actual reading with my new device yet, so I don't have a sense of how that is. I like the size of the display. The bezels are fairly wide, making this device wider than my Boox Tab Mini C, which has the same display size. The buttons have a nice feel to them. I don't like the N button (or image) at the bottom, which is supposed to serve as a home button. It usually takes two or three tries to get it to work.
I haven't tried any audiobooks yet, so I can't comment on that.
Generally, I like what I see in this device, but I'll have a better feel for it once I spend some time reading with it.
