Not having colour can also be problematic for some writing eg programming, color coded scripts

I have done many thousands of edits on EPD through Kingsoft, not just hundreds: most happily.
The EPD refresh is not nice to the eyes, but you can simply not look at it: when I type I think of the concept and look later, I do not fixate direcly on the updating strings. It's a knack that comes very natural. I fixate the screen while reading, not while writing.
An LCD screen is, as written, not comparable: it is improper (fights against environmental light) and impractical (it won't work properly) to use it under natural light. The whole idea is: Office Automation under natural lighting. Otherwise, why would I be using EPD? If you want the perks of LCD, find a room; if you want light, you can use EPD.
The screen technology is either an advantage to you, or use something different. The EPD screen technology allows me to work anywhere, so here it's a godsent, not a disadvantage.
The mention of the hardware specifications was only relevant to stating that full Office Automation software is supposed to be able to work well - fast enough - on devices like the Max2 and the note, and it does, without the need to resort to simpler software, unable to fully render page content. It's got nothing to do with the screen.
I have met text which was originally in colour, and there is little problem.

Yes, I also prepare the document before editing it on EPD. I operate on full documents, already written and formatted: I work on the original text. I do not format the document on the Max2, also because Kingsoft does not have good Style (in the technical sense) management. For people who intend to produce documents from scratch, Kingsoft can anyway apply Styles.
You do not need any Internet normally - you do if you use Google and MS-Word.
