Furthermore, I think I experienced the downside of less memory (1GB) and single core CPU recently. I have a few EPUB files that are >40-50M in size. The built-in reader app took a long time (maybe 10-20 seconds) to load them in. But once loaded, paging turning would be smooth.

So, I would say the unit works fine with small files, but you may experience issues with large files. I will try some 100MB+ PDFs soon.

One more thing, today I put T80s and T103 side by side without back light on, and T103 screen did look darker, or a bit yellowish as user orebmur reported. I heard from a Chinese forum (Chinese is my native language) that the reduced reflective capablity is due to the fact that T103 has extra layers on top of eink: touch, magnetic writing, etc....I will find out more.

Overall, I would say it's an OK eink device. I hope one day we can have a 13.3 ich with even front lighting...that would be my dream device. In 2-3 years? I can dream....
@tangocat many thanks!
Well, darker/yellowish screen don't bother me, but the performance issues(though not serious, I do realize it) do. I guess I'd rather wait a bit for some multiple-core creature. My current two androids are Inkbook Prime and Boyue Likebook Plus, both quad-core, and I guess I'm spoiled a bit with their really high performance
One question regarding the reading apps you tried -- besides just opening and paging, did you see any difference in navigation through the file tree? I mean, suppose you want to open a new book and it is located somewhere in the different than current subdirectory so you need to expand/scan several subfolders on the way. To me this was the most irritating part on slow readers...
TIA
