Unfortunately, I have not yet written a full review of the PenStar firmware, however, it is on my TODO list.
TRANSPARENCY NOTE:
PenStar is a brand of e-ink tablet that I have had little-to-no hands-on experience with. Therefore, the information about PenStar contained on this website has been collated from sources such as the manufacturer’s website, knowledgebase, user reviews, speaking with users, and social media. This data has been combined with my own limited experience of PenStar to produce the information below.
Whilst I do my very best to verify data and ensure accuracy, I felt that it was important to highlight that this is second-hand data, so there is a higher likelihood of it being inaccurate (compared to the devices that I have used directly). Always double-check information about products before making a purchase.
