    It's a great replacement for the default reader pre-installed on my Pocketbook Touch Lux 4, many customization options, support for a wide range of formats (pdf reflow), custom dictionaries, fonts and more.
    There are some platform specific issues related to screen suspension on my device and it seems that none of the devs own a Pocktbook themselves, so it may take a while before these get resolved. I can't say how well it holds up on other e-Ink devices by comparison, but overall it is still a step up from what you get out of the box and it gets updated on a monthly basis.

    Well, seems like most of the issues I had have been fixed by the latest update.
