How is it? Does it feel fast like iPad? Or at least responsive even if not that that fast? I have Paperwhite and while I still love it to death after 8 years, I just can’t live with the lag with traditional e-ink tablets like Paperwhite.
- sithadmin 5y agoBoox tablets seem to refresh faster than Kindle Paperwhites, but the appearance can be janky looking because Android isn't optimized for running on eInk. It takes some time to adjust to. This isn't a big problem for reading, but navigating through the general system UI and Android apps can be offputting.
- bigbillheck 5y agoYou can tweak some of the refresh rate settings. My experience is it's a lot faster than a paperwhite (to the point that now when I use the kindle I wonder why it's so slow), but nowhere close to an ipad.
- dheera 5y agoNo, it's super laggy just like all e-Ink devices, except for the natively-optimized note taking app which feels fine for writing and taking notes. Don't expect an iPad experience at all. The reasons I use it are - To get eye strain relief when reading ebooks, academic papers, or long PDF documents - To be able to read those things in bright sunlight while outdoors - Insanely good battery life compared to a traditional tablet, I only charge mine about once a week - Screen continues to display while consuming zero power, after device goes to sleep, which is useful for practicing music, and for placing reference documents on the table while I work on e.g. electronics, or recipes while working in the kitchen. I don't have to keep smacking it every 2 minutes to wake it up, and it won't run out of battery displaying a single PDF page for several days
