For me, using a finger to change a page it's not necessary.

Hi Randy, thanks. If my maths is correct they all are 150 dpi. Yes, I also don't care much about the touch for a large screen like this but having choice is good, some people may still want to easily zoom in and out, which admittedly is a pain using a pen.

Thanks and yeah, true-true, I corrected that entry. Good e-Reader doesn't emphasise it an awful lot on their campaign pages.

Yep, I saw that being said by *people* about Good e-Reader and Boox Max too. Yet, the first managed to get 305% of its $42,000 target so far, which I think is quite impressive, and Boox Max is already shipping. I prefer to remain optimistic especially that I find PocketBook CAD increasingly attractive, despite not being impressed with their 902 model I had back in the day. I especially didn't like the lack of communication which policy they seem to carry on with so I can understand the sentiment.
Even Good e-Reader, who while making a good progress haven't completed their campaign yet, made statement
like this. I find that quite funny, looks like the war of words is truly on

Other players get nervous too. Hopefully there will be some survivors!

Is this sarcasm. Can you elaborate more?

So far I've read that Good e-Reader
doesn't have it. Neither does Boox Max
it appears.
