Why do people even buy this? it is like going 20 years back in history and buying the most outdated reader ever. Invest a little bit more and buy a real tablet that will be more functional and have greater quality.

Was nice while it worked. Stopped working after about 40 days, just after the return period. What a joke.

There’s no reason why this should be this slow to respond to page turns in 2021. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to invert colors to have a dark background.

Returned this reader as the screen was like 4 inches tall and much too small to read. Don't understand why anyone would purchase this.

Constant glitch like adjustments on screen really take you out of the book. Terrible for your eyes
