I tried the monitor, HDMI connected, since the kind folks at Onyx are so kind to distribute the HDMI → HDMI-mini cable with the box.

Now the question was: how well do you find your way using the mouse. And the answer to me is, well not as well as with traditional systems, but it is usable and you get used to it soon. The discriminator is if you forget the issue during the use, and I yes did forget the non-usual experience with the mouse and started using it naturally. Like managing the voice delays in a Voice over IP call with non perfect connection, better than many VoIP calls with imperfect connection.

Some lag is there, I did not compute it: but like a call it is not a problem if both parties agree to respect turns.
So, Cuphead looks very nice but you will not beat the boss ; )
Many other contexts are certainly adequate.

The "monitor" experience
-- either requires an extra setting that updates a screen cell only if the changes are above some threshold, or
-- requires insuring that changes in some area of the screen do not involve dithering changes in areas that did remain unchanged in the original rendering. In other words, it seems that if on the screen an area is changed, other graphics in the EPD is changed, in areas which are instead static, because the computation of their dithering changed.
The problem with this, is that the battery would be drained uselessly.

Writing, I do directly on the tablet (chiefly). I see that Kingsoft seems to have an issue, presumably with Android 6: refresh does not cover the last stripe at the bottom of the page.
I will try WPS 10.
Coding, I need proper light to try anything.

'Course there is, the icon we had in all the firmwares until memory fades is still there in all of the screenshots that include the statusbar.
And latest fondly remembered with fondness and familiarity just a few hours ago, six posts above yours.
