Hello to everyone,
It's 2 days since I received my device in EU. B&H shipped faster than promised, 3 days since payment.
Pluses:
My first 13.3 inch ereader, finally I can read PDFs properly. This is the best feature. I know it's not exclusive but, as people describe it here, it's the fastest for PDFs. Don't have a reference so they must be right.
Ultralight, ultraslim and sleek, but not without some issues.
Touch and stylus, that's a confortable combo.
Excellent resolution.
Stylus highlight button very handy.
Minuses:
Visible capacitive wire mesh on the screen. Honestly initially I thought it's a faulty copy. But it turns out it's a feature, not a bug. Soon we'll walk on Mars, but there are no transparent conductive materias invented yet..?
IMO this mesh reduces the whiteness of the background by at least 15-20%, and thus the perceived contrast as well.
The device is looking overall very nice, but for e-book standards, not mainstream tablets/phones. The edges of the top screen are a bit wavy in certain places, probably due to the gluing.
There is a larger space btw the edge of screen an the rim of the back case. Basically I can see the USB port between them from a certain angle.
All these make it look a bit fragile.
The stylus is a bit of a hit and miss when toggling between writing and highlighting, I have to push for highlight keeping the pen away from the screen, otherwise it will not switch. Also, the writing code is first leaving the pen trail in a raw (unrendered/jagged) mode, then if no writing happens for 1-2 secs, then it processes that latest written sequence to its finishes smooth version, with a refresh blink. Understandable why, but a bit distracting at first.
Software wise, I don't mind the restrictions except the possibility to conect to phones, for doc uploads that would really help me. But I see why others are sensitive to the stripped down feats.
Hope it will last me, it's deffo not a cheap product.
