The Wave - B&W | 7.8"

I feel like this company is sus. Almost everything on their website is sold out. I really wanted the color one, but it was sold out. The case was sold out for the one I bought. You can hardly find any info online as to why they are sold out. I had the origin and upgraded to the wave. The number one feature I use is the Notes app I do not like that. The menu is over the top of the note even though you can make it disappear I don’t want to go back-and-forth between the two settings I would like a way to put it back the way the origin works.

So far I ALMOST really love it! I've had it about a week.
What I Like - I like the size. I'm coming from a 6" e-reader, but this is still small enough that I'm happy. I think the handwriting feel and recognition in the native notetaking app and the native PDF reader is great! While it is a 7.8" screen, meaning PDF's will never feel totally natural, I find them easy enough to get around in. I wouldn't buy this if that was a significant use case, though. I've been reading in the native app, Libby and Kindle and have found them good, if a little slow. I do see the weird characters that other reviewers have noticed when I turn the page, but they clear quickly and it doesn't really bother me.
What I don't like - Third party apps are really bad. Really really bad! I tried to install G-Board, which I was using on my previous budget e-reader, and had to give up on it. I have not yet been able to log into some third party apps. Others are buggy and slow. It also seems to randomly disconnect the WiFi. More annoyingly, it occasionally stops showing Google Play Store. Libby, in particular, will say it won't open until I set up Google Play Store, which I've already done. I have to restart the tablet and then Play Store is back and everything is fine. While I like the native note taker, backing up my notes has not proven to be super easy if I want to have them available on other devices, even as PDF's.
On the whole I'm pretty happy with it, and I got it on sale for $100 after taxes. For that price I'm very happy with it and can live with the quirks. If I did heavy note taking, and especially if I was already deep with another third party not-taking app, this device would simply not work. For my uses (reading and light note taking) I'm happy.

The wave device is fine, but customer support for this product is poor. I have emailed twice trying to find out how to return/exchange the covers that I incorrectly purchased. The marketing for the protective covering was misleading on your site, and I ordered the wrong size. I would like to exchange with correct size, if possible, but I cannot get anyone to respond to my messages.

The Mobiscribe Wave B/W was delivered quickly and packaged well. The Wave seems very intuitive and is just the right physical size.
