Unfortunately this confirms my fear. I think I’d want to throw an e-ink phone against a wall after a while from frustration with the lag.
E-ink screen refreshes are just far too slow for something interactive. That’s one of the reasons they work great on e-readers.
I wondered if they were doing something special or had a different kind of e-ink screen that was faster in trade for some other property but at least the one in your video doesn’t.
- seam_carver 3y agoOut of curiosity which part of the video makes you think the lag is unacceptable? It’s more like a low refresh rate. Sure scrolling is a bit slow so it’s much better to fixed length “page turn” with the volume buttons instead but I’ve really gotten used to it. If you are talking about me missing the tap zones on the touchscreen to scroll that’s user error :P
- MBCook 3y agoThat’s what I mean. The lag between my action and the updated screen. Caused by the low refresh rate. When you’re trying to tap the screen a bunch to get something accomplished if each step takes 250+ms extra just waiting on the screen it would add up to frustration fast.

- seam_carver 3y agoAs background information I used the slowest clear mode in the beginning of the video for Kindle/Koreader. I used a faster mode for the rest of the video. There’s also a speed mode intended for video but ghosting is really apparent on speed mode. The mode is set per-app.
