Older Android version ( minor: I'm only going to be installing 2 apps anyway)Īny help clarifying these issues, or any suggestions of comparable readers that I haven't evaluated, would be helpful.No App store (at least in the reviews I've seen, this may have changed).Build quality questions (I have heard that the screen lacks a backplane, and so is more vulnerable to torsion damage).Page-turn buttons (but I have heard that they're somewhat flimsy).Stock, stick-on case would be useless for me (so I'll have to buy a third-party case).No micro-SD card slot ( minor: I do prefer to keep my books in a separate volume from my OS).My main contenders currently seem to be the Boox Poke 2 & the InkBOOK Prime HD. I'm in NZ, but am quite happy to source purchases from anywhere in the world (e.g. I'd prefer page-turn buttons, but I know that they're becoming increasingly rare (plus I've never come across buttons on my previous reader that I've been completely satisfied with). I'll mainly be using it for reading at home (where I'll use it without a case), but will occasionally want to put it into a coat pocket or backpack, so a removable case will be needed. The only apps I'm going to be installing are Alreader & SyncMe (WiFi syncing app). I suffer from Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, so the lighter the better. I would consider a(n especially light & svelte) 6.8/7", but those seem to be thin on the ground these days. I'm after a light/slim 6" 300ppi reader, with a flush bezel and android. I could simply buy the MC5, but given that the MC4 only lasted about 18 months (and my prior Kepler Pro, from the same Kepler/MC series, didn't last very long either), and required manual install of an App Store, I'm looking for something different. My Boox Monte Cristo 4 has become increasingly flaky, so I'm looking for a replacement.
