My friend has one and I got to try it a couple weeks ago. The writing experience is as fantastic as the article describes. But, the rendering of screens is slow and you have to look at bizarro artifacts for a second or two before a new screen is shown. This is... not great. But, I am guessing this can be improved on in future versions. I am waiting for a better/cheaper model to come out, but fully intend to get one when it does.
edit: clarity
- mattmanser 9y agoI can see that disappearing quickly as it did between 1st and 2nd gen kindle. On my paperwhite it's now completely un-noticeable most of the time, there's only a few operations that have some lag. I'm tempted to buy one, but know how frustrated I get with bad UIs, so might hold off until the next gen.
- thaumaturgy 9y agoFWIW I'm a fellow UI-grouch, but haven't hated anything about it enough to outweigh everything else I love about it. The funky screen redraw is just a brief thing and doesn't really get in my way. The only UI thing that makes me scowl so far is that sometimes my pen settings inexplicably get reset.
- mattmanser 9y agoI am very tempted then, presently I have 5 different notebooks for different things and doing a couple of courses which I've started to study like I did at university and take written notes instead of just passively consuming. The general consensus is that you learn better if you write but it's frustrating to not have the notes digitized and backed up. It sounds like it might be good.
