You can improve performance a bit by going to settings, applications, running services, and shut down everthing but the keyboard app.

Yeah, that's what I figured. So I'm sitting here, thinking about that responsiveness and then looking at cost. I ACTUALLY looked at a refurbished iPad the other day and then went to lie down and wait for that to go away. But it is astonishing how much a functional issue like that taints an experience (at least, for me).
Having said that, though, I still can't quite bring myself to give up on the IQ because I bought it only as a supplementary device. The iPad would be just as heavy, for example, and require little doo-hickeys of its own to turn it into an aesthetically pleasing device. Further, I still seem to do the majority of my reading using either my Sony, which still works just fine, or--shockingly-- book-books ;-).
And, honestly, having just ordered a nifty Oberon cover for the thing, HOW could I NOT learn to love it?
Another
issue, though: I was thinking of downloading the Laputa reader but can't because there are too many apps on the device already. The <manage applications> page isn't quite the same as my phone; I don't see a way to move apps to my SD card. Does anyone know of a way? This is probably something trivial.
Thanks, guys.
