    Not what I meant, I said unless you’re watching a video all the time there will be times when you’re not actually using the full refresh rate to change the display, so it should be all the benefits of eink without the major downsides.

    Also yeah the displays are more expensive compared to getting a cheap kindle, but considering you’re getting into more tablet territory with drawing capabilities it seems like the benefits are worth it to me.

      a fair, didn’t read that properly! guess for tablet replacement that does sound nice, but for reading i think i’d still prefer something like the xteink (actually very curious if the size will be an issue but i always hate how heavy the paperwhite feels)

        I looked into that, I wish more android phones supported qi2, either way my only negative about those is no backlight
