there are a bunch of video reviews that cover this. The consensus seemed to be "close enough" for your average person but "not even remotely" like paper for people who pay attention to different paper types, and care about the tools they use for drawing / writing and how they interact with paper.
That is to say, you'll be happy if you don't pay any attention to the paper or writing implements you use normally. If you _do_ it's nowhere close but much better than writing / drawing on glass.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI've seen a lot of reviews comparing the writing experience to paper, but I'm more interested in the reading experience, and particularly how much contrast the screen has vs an e-ink Kindle. I've seen a few reviews actually refer to the screen as "e-ink"—but that must be a mistake, or the official website wouldn't use the more nebulous term "e-paper"... right? If it is e-ink, why is the refresh rate for drawing so good?
- johnday 7y agoIt is e-ink. The refresh rate is good because they have come up with a clever method of only refreshing regions of the screen at once. Eg if you draw a line, it will only refresh the axis-aligned rectangle enclosing that line.
