Screen is good and there is no fuzzyness.
There is ghosting though. I'm still on firmware 2.0.

Are there anywhere tips to optimize the Nova Pro or Boox?
A lot of tinkering seems needed. I understand that it's due to problems of compatibility of Android apps with e-ink.

The Neo Reader is quite good.

I activated Google Play and installed Kindle and Moon+ Reader. Kindle because the books I buy on Amazon have DRM and I have problems converting them to epub.

I can't turn the page on Kindle ; I have to tap on the center of the page to display the carousel and then swipe to display the next page. I've activated the Regal Fresh Mode and it works barely better.

The Moon+ experience is far better but far less than with Neo. The book cover remains noticeable on the background.

I like the Nova Pro and have still many things to discover about it.

Do you have any tips to optimize these two apps and the overall experience of the Nova Pro?
Thanks!
To fix the Kindle app problem, long press the Kindle app icon until a small window appears. Tap "optimize". In the list you now see, look for "Animation Timeout". Touch the line to the right of "Animation Timeout", and set it at 300. Now your Kindle book pages will turn normally.
