It's so slow!
Hello all,
Have had the aura one a few days and coming from a Kindle Oasis (which I still have for now) I am on the fence to be honest.
The extra screen size is indeed welcome and coupled with custom firmware I can fit way more text on the screen, so less page turns. It was the primary reason I bought it and the aura one delivers.
Elsewhere though I am not so sure, auto brightness is a mess so I have turned that off, my Oasis of course does not have this feature but my previous kindle did and it worked well. The other issue that is bothering me is how
sluggish this thing is, navigating around the interface is slow and touch screen response is slow with the most regular manifestation of this being page turns where there is a noticeable delay. Now flipping this you could say that it is still quicker than turning the page on a real book (just) but coming from the Oasis it is a little grating.
So as I said I am in 2 minds and the speed at which the kindle changes pages almost makes up for the increased frequency of turning the page. It is just a shame that Kobo did not put a better processor in this thing!
