Meant to purchase last week but got side-tracked. Was purchased from Bigme directly last December as an eReader but wasn’t used as much as expected. Usage is probably in very low double-digit hours.
Don’t mind keeping it for when time permits reading but prefer to liquidate it and invest in something else. It uses the same Kaleido 3 display as the Kobo and Amazon ones, but has lot more settings to tune the display.
Android of course provides a lot more flexibility in sideloading stuff and using apps, compared to other eReaders. It comes with a stylus whose head got chipped at some point when in the drawer as I didn’t use it otherwise. It works fine, and you can use any other ones as well, since it is a basic active capacitive stylus.
Neither the cover nor the reader has magnets to hold a folded cover, so I did some DIY with velcro to hold the cover in place when closed or reading. It also came with a hanging loop for the stylus which as expected loosened within days and could no longer hold the stylus, so I cut it off to prevent interference.
Will ship using the original box and cable.
Info: Using Olauncher in the images instead of the original launcher which isn’t great. Can be rooted easily using mtkclient and I had done it in the past before prefering to use adb instead to prevent OTA issues.
