Bad reviews on the software, but the hardware is meant to be excellent. I grabbed one to check it out.

How do you load/store/read say any third party books/comics etc on this?
On an Android device, an "APK" file is the kind of file used to install an app. I haven't actually got one to try, but youtube has many instances of people installing common apps like Kindle (search kindle apk) which is called side-loading, and then using it as if it were a native Kindle device. Files (or comics) themselves can be moved to the device via USB, or Google Drive. I hope that makes sense.
You can try Calibre for loading up the books. Works really well with most eReaders.
Try to phone your local JB and ask if they still have stocks. I managed to get one as they take it off online if they only have 1-2 in stock
Would this suitable to read comic like tintin Asterix Lucky Luke? I already have surface pro
There are a couple interesting videos on YouTube that compares different e readers for reading comics. I guess it's up to you if you prefer the larger screen size and colour, vs. black and white and portability.
Up to 6 hours battery life…bruh
That would be under load.
Here's some testing done here -

Seems like a nutty deal for $350, but the battery is pretty abysmal.
First link says 18 hours in idle with wifi off and min brightness. An er-eader should be able to last weeks idle lol.
But $350 for a 10” e-reader is very tempting. I just couldn’t care less about the pen and it’s probably the reason it chews battery.
I would assume that's with active use. There is also mention from Lenovo's page
And with a battery that lasts for weeks
Someones comment on battery life after using it from the JB deal
It works well, loaded Onenote and Kindle. It works fine, I don’t know what others say about the other apps not working
Do you write with the pen in onenote?
Yes, it works fine. Just put it on fast mode instead of clear or smooth. In addition, put it on ink mode as well
Does it need a subscription to be usable?
Just your normal email for the onenote
@AirJordan23, Just wanted to confirm that the “one note” notes sync between the desktop and this e-reader without any issues and without any subscription. Thanks
@Ronney: Yes it syncs to Lenovo Smart Notebook
@AirJordan23: I should add that while OneNote works, it is not as smooth an experience as writing on the stock app.
@bonechiller: Yeah, you are correct. Better to use the native writing app then upload to Onedrive
@AirJordan23: Thanks @AirJordan23 and @bonechiller.
@Ronney: A good workaround I have found is to use the native notes app -> upload as PDF to Google Drive or Nextcloud, etc -> Import into OneNote or Notion or whatever you want.
@bonechiller: Thanks @bonechiller. That should work for me.
Has anyone tried PressReader with one of these? I'm wondering about using it for reading newspapers.
Expired ?
In SA but cant seem to add anything to cart for click and collect.
Its a pity would have tried it at this price
OOS for my postcode delivery and click and collect now
I lost the deal right at the moment I pressed add to cart
I got mine today. I had it price-matched at Goodguys, and I had a voucher for $60, so I paid $287. That's not bad for the price.
What you want me to do Officeworks?
Move to Brisbane
The Good Guys have the stock @ $349.

The main problem is that there are no replacement smart pens (magnetic) or nibs available when they wear out. They won't be coming out anytime soon, based on the update from the lenevo support team.
For anyone to picked one up, some exciting development here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15195626/redir
I waited too long to pull the trigger on the JB deal, glad I could get one here. Thanks op!
