Meebook E-Reader M7 | 6.8' Eink Carta Screen | 300PPI Smart Light | Android 11 | Ouad Core Processor | Out Speaker | Support Google Play Store | 3GB+32GB Storage | Micro-SD slot | Gray

I wanted an android-based ebook reader, so that I was not locked in to one or other bookshop, and so I could download things like newspaper apps and library apps, and even an interlinear Bible. After a month with this e-reader, I can do most of what I want. It feels good in the hand, the screen is clear, and it does indeed offer both Google Play store and its own store of specially curated apps.My main beef is that there's no manual. Once you've turned it on, more-or-less, you have to blunder about on your own. This perhaps is the difference between a Chinese factory turning out neat kit with clever software, compared with a producer more concerned with helping the user get the most out of the machine (and writing proper instructions in English). The Meebook fails badly here.For example, I loaded MS teams and couldn't see half the options. Then I learnt that after you've installed it, if you long click on MS Teams' icon, there's an option to tweak the software and one of the options magically highlights all the words that were previously black-on-black. With that tweak, it works fine. Similarly, you can reassign the volume keys as page up/down keys, but only (or so I seem to have discovered) if that app doesn't have a read-aloud function. The epaper screen isn't as slick as a phone screen, but once you get where you're going, it's fine. And it is great to put any ebook, kindle, newspaper, library book and anything else on this machine and carry it with you.The drawbacks are a real pity. An android powered e-reader with good software and decent instructions would surely be a winner. Still though, I use it a lot and it isn't consigned to my 'bad ideas' drawer.As for me, after rather more sweat than I would like, I am doing most of what I want to do with the machine--which is quite a lot. It seems a bit a slow too. Would I buy it again? Probably. But I still await a killer product in this space.

Reader is OK but I inserted a SD card, and upon trying to remove it, wheni pushed it, instead of "poping out" it went further in !!Now I can't remove it at all and the card isn't recognised.Beware!
