I find the speed to be exactly the same when navigating through the menus or turning pages on the HD and the 2E.
This is the first time I've seen the Carta 1200. The 2E screen is definitely better, although I can't explain why. Contrast? Sharpness? The HD screen is just fine, but when placed next to the 2E the difference is apparent no matter how I try to equalize the look via the settings. The 2E is really good.
One oddity: According to specs around the Web, the 2E is about the same height as the HD. This is not true. The 2E is taller. The mistake appears to be in the posted specs for the HD at 159.6. I measure it at closer to 157. The 2E specs are correct at about 159mm. So the 2E is about 2mm taller (as well as about 2mm wider).
Nevertheless, I was able to force the 2E into one of my HD cases (because the faux leather was just stretchy enough). But those tricksters at Kobo moved the spot where the magnet needs to be for the 2E. Ha! Guess I need a new case.
I wonder how long it will take for 3rd party companies to put 2E cases on the market.
