The software is adequate, and just adequate. If you want to open a book and just read it as if it were a pBook, it works fine. It has no decent extras like Kobos. I read a lot on my GL4+ because that 7.8" screen makes up for a lot, and I don't miss the extras except the time read per book. It works with Calibre, but not as well as Kobo.

Thank you for your thoughts. I'm more and more tempted to grab a 7.8" inexpensive BW reader while it still exists. Like you, I think the size will make up for the missing bells and whistles.
