The screen, to my surprise, was sharper on the Leaf 2 compared to the Libra 2. Hopefully, that will still be the case after the screen replacement.
No, I didn't have to deal with Onyx at all. I bought it from a European company and only dealt with them. I didn't want to order directly from Onyx as I've heard that their customer service isn't very good.

Exactly, the sluggishness is not an issue when reading. And even though I jump back and forth in some books between the index and current page I got used to it pretty fast. I only notice it when I pull out my Libra to do something and see how much faster it is.
My experience with Onyx customer support was good. They responded fast and arranged the replacement at no cost to me. However I wish I could have gotten the screen replaced locally instead of having to send it in, but any repair shop I went they had no clue what they were looking at.

As far as sluggishness goes, check out the various display modes in Eink center.
Also, double check that the physical buttons act when you press them (vs when you release them).
Waiting until you release allows the differentiation between short and long press, but it wrecks havoc on (perceivable) reaction time.

I don't see anything in your signature. Could you link it to me? I tried an app called Onyx Gentle Glow but I couldn't get it to work to control the lights after a restart.
I do use the faster refresh modes for browser and such. But I find the text too fuzzy on anything other than normal or regal mode.
