But from stock, the T80 is rubbish.
How well does Moon+ Reader Pro respect the CSS? Is it 100% respectful? |

Rubbish, possibly if you had no idea what you expected when you purchased it. I see nowhere on their web site where they say they support DRM. Yet you can use the Google Play Books app, Amazon Kindle app or Overdrive app to read books that come with DRM. I remove all DRM prior to reading any book on my device so DRM was not a concern of mine.
I used the stock launcher for a time and it was adequate, but not as flexible as I would like so I switched. That is the point of an Android device to be able to set it up the way you want it set up. The stock device comes with Google Play Store and access to a world of apps. I chose to take advantage of the options the stock device provided me. I have no idea, it looks fine to me, but you need someone who shares your attention to detail for a legit response. |

If you mean regular data I use Dropsync on my other devices. I can try on my T80s if you want. |

It's been 6 months since the original post, I forgot the question. Your comment was great in that regard.
It also got me thinking if I could leave my device in standby or continue to have it shutdown automatically after 2 hours. I decided I could leave it in standby if I wanted. One thing prevents me doing this, I want the shutdown screen to show in case I leave my device somewhere as the shutdown screen contains my name and number if the device is misplaced. |

At the beginning, being used to leave my previous readers (Sony PRSs) in standby, having to turn it off was quite annoying. But once I got used to it and having to wait for 30 seconds (instead of 3) to continue my reading, it's just fine. Last edited by colibris79; 03-23-2018 at 11:03 PM. |

I agree, but since I can set it to automatically shutdown at least I don't have to worry about remembering it. If someone wants to leave it in standby, as long as they have wifi, bluetooth and notifications turned off, there doesn't seem to be any constant battery drain in standby. |

Built-in dictionary supports Stardict dictionaries, at least they are indexed and shown in the dictionary and from inside built-in reader. The only issue that all translations shown with markdown. Bottom line, I wouldn't buy this eReader second time. If you don't want to waste your time searching on the internet how to do this or that buy something more user-friendly.
To add Stardict dictionaries, create "dict" folder in the root and place here dictionaries. |

Thanks!
I found this thread tremendously helpful when deciding on a new eReader.
I am a little disappointed that the various bookstores don’t have 3rd party apps better suited to e-ink. Kindle comes close with Kindle Lite but it requires Android 4.4. Which begs the question: why are nearly all these type devices running such outdated OSes? Granted, the need may not be there but Android 4.2.2 is on the verge of being cut off from Google’s official App Store. Seems silly from a security and app availability standpoint. I’m pretty simple so I find the included software reasonable. I tweaked fbReader to more resemble the native nook app’s typeface. And I love WiFi Delay... once I figured out what it did. I downloaded the ICARUS Illumina XL manual for reference. I used AlReader on my previous Nook Glowlight Plus because of their e-ink friendly preferences toggle. I may give that a go here too. |

Another disadvantage of using such an old Android version is that you cannot pair with Bluetooth 4.0 devices even if the reader has a capable chip. 😞
