    and it requires using an app or website to transfer files to the Picco since it doesn’t support standard formats—everything has to be converted to a new format, which is a terrible idea.

    Whoever thought this was a good idea deserves to lose their jobs. We already have enough eBook formats around, adding new proprietary ones helps no one.

      First thing I’ll do when I get it is flash crosspoint. Problem solved.

      If it wasn’t for the whole Opub thing I might have considered giving the stock firmware a go first.

      Crosspoint has so many features I’m never gonna use but I just want to send my books via copy&paste in my file browser 😅

      (there are other issues with stock firmware from what I’ve heard but still)
