It's been a while since I posted any deal but I feel this one deserves some attention. I already have a Kindle Oasis as well as a recently acquired XTEink X4 in rotation (love the X4 btw for its portability) but was looking for a large e-reader for technical pdf. I looked at the Scribe and other usual suspect but came across this one through my research and the screen technology is intriguing, it's pretty much promising color e-ink feel with a regular LCD performance so I bit the bullet and bought the bundle and so far I'm quite impressed, it functions as any regular Android tablet but the screen is something else. It's unlike any other screen that I've seen. It's matte, has no reflection, and truly is very gentle on the eyes. It has 3 modes: regular mode (like any other LCD screen), Color Paper (think Kindle ColorSoft like), and Ink Paper Mode (think e-ink like). I found myself leaving it on Color Paper mode most of the time since I mainly use this one for reading. Pairing this with a capable reader app like Moon + Reader/KOReader/ReadEra and it's really a different reading experience. I highly recommend it, especially at this price. Only downside I found so far is TCL doesn't allow the ability to switch user profile from the lock screen (how dumb), you have to go into Settings to do it. But I put up with it because of how much I like this screen.
Haven't used the stylus yet so no comment on that. The case is ok, not bad but it's built for horizontal stand. Get a proper tablet stand if you want to read in portrait mode.

Otherwise this tablet is fine. The matte screen is nicer, but it's not as amazing as I thought it'd be. People always compare it to e-ink, but there's really no comparison. It's basically just a LCD screen with a matte screen. You still get a bit of glare from bright lights, but not the blinding reflection from glossy screens, whereas e-ink has 0 problems in bright light.
This tablet also supports extend mode which is basically using this as a secondary monitor through Miracast. It works... but unfortunately there's no way to set the resolution to the tablet's resolution, or to change the scaling on the tablet so it doesn't look like crap.
Otherwise I got this mainly for webtoons. It works fine for that, but I'm still wishing they'd sell a 8" version without having to go through Verizon or buying used.
