The default color when annotating documents is red which requires two refreshes of the eInk pixels ( due to the current driver?) to get clean lines in the corresponding shade of grey. Switch to black and the update is much faster. Here I see it noticeably faster than my iRex Iliad.
Yes, I agree the reader needs help. Support landscape, and better zoom, pan, and scroll.
This is an inherent problem with any grey-scale display. 16 grey scale shades on the Iliad doesn't improve the situation. It just is not meant for viewing multi-color displays. It is intended plain text. When used as intended it is much nicer than viewing the same text on an LCD.
I agree. The camera should have been on the back of the LCD lid (as it is in most phones).

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
And to be fair, I did say I am border line. I really like the Edge but there are some issues (as I've stated) that I feel warrant mention. The positive note is that many of these can be fixed via software updates and eventually Google Android updates (which I am confident will come.) What could help people like me keep motivated with the Edge is to see a road map of future updates. I realize hitting deadlines can be difficult but a general road map would be encouraging. What I don't want to see is for Entourage to decide to create a new version with many of these issue fixed but leave the original adopters out in the cold.
Also, I have read a couple novels on the Edge and I found it a real joy. I also like the Dolphin browser and I find the email client quite adequate for my needs. There are many other positives which I didn't list.
