Concerning the maps: that was also one of my motivations to possess an e-ink device. Keep in mind that screen updates in regular mode take quite some time and sometimes cause the whole screen to blink. This can be very annoying when viewing content that changes a lot (like scrolling maps). However, the A2 mode on this device is very good (grayscale), so that might work better for you.

Thanks a lot for that detailed answer. It confirms that i might go for this one!
You are right about maps and the refreshing rate.
I want to modify my app for it work better with that kind of device. For example by adding buttons to navigate and not do it by dragging which might feel good with the refreshing rate.
Really thank you for your answer. Such a great community
