No, but I don't have the opportunity to do so in a way that would allow me to easily return, so if I'm hedging my bets, it would be a consideration.

I don't know what else to say other than it does affect me, perhaps I'm hyper-sensitive to PWM flicker? Regardless, thanks for the note. I'm curious for a screen rendition comparison with the forma....

I meant more people reporting problems with the touchscreen, but I meant to write voyage, not pw4. Maybe I got a fluke but it definitely looks worse than the k3 keyboard I used to have, the text...

I just got the PW4 and the text is really low contrast, what is up with that? Did they decrease it via software to improve refresh?

Is there variance within the PW4 production or is it just plain...

Slow-ish as in e-ink slow would be fine, but Kobo slow is something else. That video comparing it to the pocketbook inkpad (which has a lesser processor package) is painful.

I was thinking more broadly available and accessible to many, and with a good backlight / high resolution screen. Mostly though I was just trying to appeal with US drama, bit over the top for the old...

Ok, It has to refresh, as in flash the screen white-black-white, because the nature of the e-ink being suspended, charged particles require addressing the 'pixels' in groups. Not only are the cells...

Sorry for the bad analogy, I'll go put a note on it. The point stands, Pocketbook is also using RMSDK with lesser spec hardware (both use ARM, the pocketbook has an older version) and has all/most of...
