Who it's for

Stock firmware is the right starting point for any new owner. The interface is clean and intentional — fewer options means less configuration before you're reading. The July 2026 update has closed a significant part of the gap with community firmware for non-English readers in particular.

If you later want more EPUB control, advanced navigation, or customisation options, look at CrossPoint — but give stock a few weeks first.
