TL DR - Read the first sentence & last paragraph. I now have an ereader that can take on any DRM, be synced neatly with Calibre, has an offline copy of Wikipedia to reference, does podcasts, and can read manga without issues. I'd recommend this for anyone not wanting to get locked into a vendor ecosystem (like B&N Nooks, Kindles), and willing to do a little customization to get it just right. Find new clients while you’re out on the town and book them with just a few tops of the screen. Clearing application cache, moving nonsystem apps, and linking as much as possible to the card partition (though do not mess with Google Play Services) should give you enough room. It’s like a mini version of InkBook, right in your pocket, and while you’re out and about it might just become one of the best friends you have The InkBook app frees you from doing all of your business at a computer. So, you'll need Link2SD, a microsd card reader, and a program like GParted to partition the microsd card itself into a FAT32 and a EXT4 second partition (1GB works for me). However, there's a limited 400MB dedicated to applications, so you have to root it (I used this). I personally use Nova Launcher, F Droid, Overdrive, aCalendar, Tachioyomi, Kiwix ( FAT32 requires file splitting and renaming the files), Pocketcasts, Amazon Kindle, and Calibre Companion without issues. It comes with Android 4.2.2, so most applications you could want on it should work. There isn't much preinstalled on the tablet, three books (in Chinese, one is Jane Eyre) and the built in launcher and ebook reader (O Reader) is quite good. There is easy access to quick refresh (handy to flip quickly through pages if reading only text), notifications, and changing the page buttons to volume settings (which helps its ability to work with 3rd party readers). Battery life is fine, with 70% used after a day of much downloading, configuring, and light. There's a 32GB microsd slot that's normally uncovered, so getting a separate card is recommended to cover it up, as well as cover for the biggest flaw of this tablet. The light is even and does not need to be more than 25% strength in pitch darkness. I think the Kobo Glo HD and the Paperwhite 2 have this screen. The screen is a 6 inch 300ppi Carta 2 that displays text and graphics cleanly. It's a chunky ereader that shouldn't attract attention. There's built in Wifi 802.11n (since it doesn't recognize my 5GHz router signal). ![]() It has both Wifi and Bluetooth, and packs in a 2Ah battery. The Inkbook Prime HD runs Android 4.2 on a quad-core 1.6 GHz CPU with 512 MB RAM, and 8GB storage. The new model has a higher resolution screen and (possibly) an improved frontlight. This probably competes with the latest Paperwhite, as well as the Boyue T63, which lacked a cover and has a smaller battery (2800 vs 3000mAH). The Polish ereader importer ArtaTech has updated its two-year-old Inkbook Prime ereader. ![]() The order was on Sept 26, arrival was Oct 14 (within the 7-20 Business Days expected). ![]() Grabbed this for $145 with free shipping from Banggood (seriously). This is a solid ereader with a good screen, light, and flexibility provided you root it and do some trickery.
