I love my e-ink tablet. Regardless of manufacturer (remarkable, boox, supernote…), all e-paper tablets have one major performance problem: quickly scrolling through multiple pages of notes. No idea if the display is the limiting factor, or the cpu, but I’ve hit this issue on all tablets I’ve used. If you like riffling through pages in you paper notebook, you will hit the limit too. I know at least 2 people who stopped using their tablets over time because of this issue. If this tech helps solve that problem, it’s more important to me than an eink monitor. Edit: this is mainly important for notes, because sketches, scribbled diagrams and quick notes half-taken in meetings are not really searchable. PDFs and ebooks don’t have this problem. | ||

I'm pretty sure it is the CPU. On my Kobo Elipsa I've had it freeze a few times, mainly when going to pages with high resolution graphics or pages with a ton of vector graphics / markups. | ||

Their demos most definitely show scrolling through long websites very quickly, and they show playing computer games and playing videos on e-ink displays as well. Amazing stuff really. |
