Yay, I'm really happy that I don't need to send it back now.
I'm now using the Chinese M218A++ v27 firmware and it's brilliant for my purpose. I have tons of Chinese txt fictions and I can now read them on my Libre. Comparing the Libre with the Hanlin v3 (Astak EZreader) I already have, I actually like the Libre more. I gotta admit the reflective TFT looks better than e-ink. I was pretty happy with my Hanlin v3 before I got the Libre, and now I think the Hanlin v3 looks a little fuzzy. And my eyes feel more comfortable looking at the Libre's higher contrast screen.
And one more surprise, the Libre is noticeably snappier than the Hanlin v3 when it comes to loading and flipping pages in pdf files. I'm not just talking about the screen reflash thing, I'm talking about the reader's responses overall.
But I still gotta give credit to the Hanlin v3 for its impeccable format support and the ease of firmware swapping.
Now I wonder why the industry don't use this kind of reflective TFT more often when they manufacture the ebook readers. It's brilliant technology.
