Outside of PDF reading (especially in third-party software, because the Foxit implementation is only mildly less terrible than the RMSDK one in Nickel), no.)

And the screen being infinitesimally faster is offset by the driver being infinitely worse.

So, mildly curious how the Libra 2 will fare, as it's using the "new" screen with the "old" CPU (and its much less less awful driver).

Same answer re: nightmode: yes, it actually makes the thing usable, so, if you care about that stuff, it's a plus.

Add me to the "disappointed" list about the weight of the Sage, though. (Will probably order one and see for myself).

[1]: I mean, that's actually visible in their promo video: the page turn speed on display makes me cringe.
Your comment hurts and kills my hopes. Was hopping for a Sage at least as snappy as the Oasis 3.
