Scour the PocketBook forum - tips for PRO devices.
Some apps work at Touch Lux, some are compiled for older devices that have 5-way navigation button that the new devices lack.

One interesting app is:
http://pbchess.vlasovsoft.net/en/
Install this, but do not register (if you are not interested in a better than stock chess). Without registering the chess is not working or is working in a limited manner, but other apps installed alongside the chess work (such as strange version of Coolreader.)
Look for Vim for PocketBook

If you have no idea what Vim is, install it on your computer and learn to use it. Learning this beast on an e-ink reader will be way too frustrating.
Vim is a *vastly* improved and very powerful version of good old vi text editor used by hard-core UNIX hackers.

Look for Coolreader.
Read tips and tricks for old devices, most of the stuff works - you will learn how to install fonts, dictionaries (all dictionaries work on new models), you will learn that to install app you just copy it to the \apps directory in the root of the drive you see when you connect the device to PC. (this has changed from the old models where this directory was called games).
Themes from old devices do not work on Touch Lux, look for Sir Steiner.
I have to run now, I will post more later.
In the meanwhile read the PocketBook forum, especially
