What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is a light, capable Android eReader with a sharp screen, Google Play, page-turn buttons and expandable storage. TechRadar found it snappy but criticised the short battery life, lack of waterproofing and complicated menus; Good e-Reader found the new stylus poor to write with and the touchscreen unreliable, and saw little progress over earlier models.
