Are you referring to the Nexus as the snail? For what I use it for which is basically a cheap Wifi signal strength meter, it is more than adequate. As for failing in framerate? I am not going to try watching videos on a device where the display refresh rate is measured in tenths of seconds.

I am quite happy to use multiple devices -- the laptop is great for its intended purposes which include running 6 or 7 virtual machines. The iPad Pro has it's uses as well. Having multiple devices keeps all problems from looking like nails.

Of course, here I am considering the display technology beyond its adequacy for reading, say, a novel. For that, DNSB has already replied: «Since the only colour in 99.9% of the books I read is the cover...».
Actually, 2 devices with e-Ink Triton 2 displays and one with a Mirasol display.

As for Liquavista, the most probable issue seems to have been that the final product was not going to be able to compete on price. An unverified comment I saw claimed that the yield rate was less than 50%. Another example of a solution in search of a problem.
