    issue with item - shipping to NL is buyer's expense
  

*by 1***1 on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017*

I have the older Icarus 8" without Android, I like them both, but have a "little" issue with the Android Icarus:tapping on power button should and does turn it to sleep; BUT, holding power button should make a screen come up with "shut down device? ok / cancel" and this is often NOT the case. Often, it will go to sleep (after holding it longer than 3 sec) and THEN no tapping of power button wakes it up, power button has to be pushed down a long time (often longer than 3 sec) and then device will restart.I tried to get help from Icarus, they helped me install an update etc, which did not help the issue;  then they offered me to send it back but to my expense! (Shipping to the Netherlands).USPS won't ship any device with a li-ion battery internationally by individuals (businesses is another thing), and via DHL  it would cost at least 60 to 70 $ Shipping without the additional fee for the installed battery.So, for now I refrain from shipping it back....

The size is perfect. Google play works unlike the inkbook. The actual Google app from the play store won't work but downloading an older version works just fine. This is my 5th ereader and by far my favorite.
