Thank you for the info, the factory software definitely does those slow annoying flashes! I confirm, koreader is faster here (by disabling the UI flashes, at least). However, I still can't confirm DU effectiveness... (would be nice to have a setting, at least to be able to see a difference)
My basic complaint is, the Menu is coming up ~ 1 second on average - maybe it's yet another problem. Navigaing in the Menu also slow. (My kobo doesn't have such a big delays.)
Having tried v2020.09 official stable now, tampering with dpi setting (firstly, setting it back to auto) got to a state when stuck in the Menu forever, with the first Menu chage took like 10-20 second... this suggests the slowness from elsewhere.
Another quirk is, in the dpi selection Menu it was very hard to tap on checkbox - always brought up the hint description, rather than selecting it. (The InkPad X's tap is very reliable - vs Kobo H2Ov2 that receives any tap by non-deterministic way, like 70% of chance...) But it's less important.
Now I'm returning to your safe pocketbook snapshot
, to be able to read - thanks again for the elaboration!
