Can you install …
With the semi-standard e-ink disclaimer, many apps not build for e-ink may result in white/light gray text on a white background. Making it hard (or impossible to read)
- Kindle/Moon+Reader/Kobo/AlReader/FBReader/Aldiko/Pocketbook/ - Yes
- Amazon/APKPure/APKUpdater App Store - Yes
- Calibre Companions - Yes (at least the demo)
- Launchers - yes
The majority of launchers throw an error if you add a widget. Making the launcher a system app, seems to eliminate this problem
I haven’t found a launcher that will set a wallpaper.
If you use an alternative launcher you cannot use widgets from the builtin library app
- Dropbox - Yes
- Google Drive - Not without google single sign-on (see below)
- Perfect Viewer/Challenger Viewer - Yes
- Chrome - Yes
Can you root the device - Yes
The Prime is built by Boyue and similar to ones from Onyx, Energy, Icarus, etc. Most (all?) of which have methods of gaining root, give them a try
Can you install google play store - Probably
After gaining root the major issue is getting the correct version of the 4 or 5 apps for the corresponding version of android. While I don’t have a big need for the play store books, the play store most used facility for apps that you need to purchase.
