Xiaomi launches the InkPalm 5 mini e-reader for 599 yuan (~$91)

I updated. Doesn't seem to have any issues but I only use it for reading (in Moonreader+).

I'm just surprised i'm the only one here who has this update thing

You’re not the only one. I purchased mine already configured, and I’m afraid that the actual configuration get lost after the update.

The language settings all stayed the same for me. I set it up myself when the gen1 first came out and I think there's been 3/4 updates since then which haven't broken the English language hack.

Bluetooth seems a bit more reliable with this update. It's the only difference I've noticed.

1. Improve system stability

I let the battery in this die and now I can’t get it to turn back on, even when plugged into a charger. Anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe leave it plugged in overnight. It might just need to charge for a while to wake up. Otherwise, I'm not sure. Hopefully one of the others might know better than I do.

Yep. It turned itself on after it reached 100%. Totally bizarre IMO but there it is. I guess my post was premature but after a certain period of time I figured it wasn’t coming back on.

I updated. It’s been fine.

Is there a way to change/set the "sleep" image? (Maybe to the current KOReader book?)

I wish you could flash a version of LineageOS on this.

Looks very interesting to me!

999 yuan approx €140. Add local VAT/Import, fees etc gives €175 approx + shipping

Interesting replacement for a Kobo Mini or Sony PRS-350. Should run BorrowBox android app used with Irish Libraries, because that works on eInk Mars. Possibly used in Australia too?

It looks kind of sexy. I've a bunch of experience now on Qualcomm and zero experience on Rockchip processors so I think that I'll hold off.

Seems like a decent upgrade looks like the same panel as in the HiSense Touch, just without QUALCOMM and 2GB less ram. But also like $200 less once imported to your respected country.

Anyone willing to help me with how to set up this device (uninstalling the apps, installing Ulanvher, etc.)? I am trying to follow the GitHub directions but can’t get adb (from the ask platform tools download) to open for some reason .
