BigmeinkNote Color + Lite Eink Tablet 10.3" eBook Reader 4G 64GB eReaders for Reading and Writing ePaper Tablet Digital Notepad with Stylus and Cover

Product arrived on time. I'm still experimenting with it, especially how to save documents on cloud. The only downsize is, it's yet another item to charge.

Pros:- Runs Android: So you can run any apps you like- Colour Screen: Makes a big difference when accessing web pages- Perfect Stylus Performance: No lag, basically feels like writing on paper- Large Screen: 10" does feel like quite an upgrade over the 8" competitors- Quick Refresh rates: the refresh rates are high enough to be able to scroll through a web page- Long battery life on standby: Can last a week if you leave it aloneCons:- The colours are not that vibrant. In order to produce colours, the screen has a bit of a 'sparkly' surface, which undercuts the higher resolution black-and-white underneath.- Even with the highest refresh rates, it still feels painful to access and scroll websites. Especially since higher refresh rates correlate with less precise rendering of text- Using the tablet for anything but reading eBooks runs the battery down quite quickly - probably lasts about 5 hours if just surfing the web- Since this is produced by a Chinese company, some parts of the user interface have not been translated.- The out-of-the-box syncing of documents is a subpar experience since it requires accounts with China-based services, which can raise privacy concerns.Conclusion: Overall, the best colour eReader available today - especially if you want to get out of the Kindle walled garden. However, not a replacement for a traditional tablet screen if you really want a clear colour image and the ability to use animated applications (like web browsing).

Disappointedly the promotion material doesn't quite transpire how utterly immature this tablet/e-reader is for the consumer market, the rendering parameters are very fiddly and the UI has the traditional Chinese interpretation of the English language... Other curiosities, the dictation/translation feature is only from Mandarin to other European languages, so unless you speak the lingo... It's a bit useless. Touch screen response time is glacial to say the least. Sent it back next day.
