The use of additional applications looks much worse

color is not adjustable with a warm setting-it
Sluggish performance-slow to turn pages and open files

The screen gets colder during the day
warmer at night
the reader slowed down at some point
reaching for the page change buttons with the thumb is extremely uncomfortable
disappointing is too mild a term
LEDs inside sort of shine out a little from below the top bezel
bright and uneven light at the very top of the display
Oasis 2 which does not have the warm
second light
the Web Browser is very limited and it is not possible to install external markets
