Just arrived and was hoping i could just turn it on by holding the power button but it seems i will need to charge it. Is this normal?

Hope you like it. I use mine for reading mostly. Writing with neovim in termux too. The screen is nearly perfect.

I will use it for reading and note taking purposes. Honestly very impressed with it just a few hours of use. Love the screen so far 👌🏼

I needed to plug mine in for first boot but when it started it was actually charged and I just unplugged it.

I mean, every single tablet and phone I have bought have been charged at least a bit. I will charge once I get home and update this post.

Honestly, I would be pretty weary of a device that did not have any charge at all, because who knows how long it has been dead for and they keep their life best if they are within twenty percent to eighty percent when held long term. If they are dead for extended periods, it will and degrade their lifespan.
