Questions on Ghosting and Authenticity of Product (Likebook Mars)
Hello. This is my first time to use an e-book reader. I have a brand new Likebook Mars, and I'm seeing some ghosting. I didn't do anything to the device except update the android (it included that option during the startup). In these pictures I took, A2 is not enabled. Also, is it normal that the device doesn't have "likebook" written below the screen? In the review videos I've seen, the devices had that design at the bottom. Perhaps it's just the design of newer stocks, but I'm worried that I got a fake. I bought it from a seller from China in Shopee. It looks authentic otherwise.

Dunno about branding on Mars but my Alita has engraved likebook logo on the back aside from that they just put additional black sticker with the model name etc... not really that professional. Last edited by Merithyn; 03-31-2021 at 07:04 AM. |

The Alita came beautifully packed and presented so that's one thing to help check authenticity. There is ghosting but you'll soon get used to it. A2 is something that I have set as standard because the device was unacceptably sluggish without it.

It's too cheap (for what it is) and niche a product for fakes.
I have no Ghosting issue in the PDF or eBook Reading, or Apps that are reasonably compatible and I've adjusted the settings as described earlier. Mine was from a German seller via Amazon.de and has pale grey Likebook and Mars on the back. The front is blank. Last edited by Quoth; 04-03-2021 at 12:20 PM. |

I have Likebook P6, Ares, Alita and the front is blank on all of them - including the P10.
I assume that on the Mars it has been changed accordingly to achieve a uniform appearance. |
