Hey folks,

Long time reader, first time poster. I'm in the market for an e-reader that can serve a very specific purpose, I want to be able to write screenplays with it. My eyes get tired from staring at a normal screen for too long, and I think an e-reader would be a cool way to write.

My writing application of choice is WriterDuet which is available on Google Play. It's compatible with Android 4.4 and up, so in theory, the Onyx Boox Nova Pro or the Boyue Likebook Mars should be able to handle it. Both have bluetooth, so connecting a mouse and keyboard shouldn't be a problem.

My question is, would anyone be kind enough to test this particular application with one of these devices? I'd love to know if it is able to open at all, and possibly how it performs. In a broader sense, is the either Nova or the Mars inherently faster?

Thanks,
Sean
