I bought a Meebook E-Reader P78 Pro and I love it.

It has easy adjustment of the backlight and can read all kinds of formats.

My one complaint is that it's slow to boot and has shorter battery life than Kindle because it's Android-based. I actually use the built-in reader app for everything instead of Android apps anyhow, but I love knowing that I could write my own app if I wanted to, or just download one from the net.

The resolution on graphic novels is surprisingly good for e-ink IMO.

Do you mind sharing what battery life you get in practice? Like 10 hours screen on? 20? 30?

Thank you!

I just turned it back on and it's at 82% and was last fully charged 5 days ago. It's been on for 2hrs and 44min since then according to the battery screen.

It says it'll last until about 22:45 and that it's currently 05:10. (I apparently haven't set the time!)

I typically read for 30-60 minutes at night, I'd say, so those numbers make sense to me. Seems like about 20 hours.
