Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Low price means you'll see ads
  • Lacks touch input, memory-card slots, or audio playback
  • Virtual keyboard is tiring to use
  • AC adapter costs extra
  • Meager font choices
  • Still no ePub support
  • Typing is torture
  • Power switch is now a button, not a slider, and easier to trigger when you don’t want to
  • Screen can get scuffed if you carry it everywhere, necessitating an accessory cover or sleeve
  • Navigation not a joy without touchscreen or keyboard
