He's likely measuring screen response time, not writing latency.

I've tested at least 4 Wacom models/systems, 7 Kobos (3 models of pen) and Apple Pencil on iPad. Also resistive passive stylus screens, Palm OS models and I designed a pen system and had a patent. I've designed and prototypes various gadgets inc 4G tablet with VOIP runnning Debian and choice of QT windows like, QT phone edition and IceWm.

What I think about Android is irrelevant to this discussion. It has a value if you want eink and 3rd party apps like Kindle, Nook, Google playbooks, Libby, Borrowbox etc all at the same time for DRM encumber ebooks. As a dedicated ereader platform it's pointless. Sony proved that with T1, T2 and T3 vs PRS-650. Android on eink is either to offer 3rd party apps, or companies that can't be bothered to do a proper Linux. The stock Android GUI isn't even suitable for eink. I actually think the only lack the the Mars is no stock ereader that uses metadata instead of file browsing. The Mars is irrelevant because it's got no digitiser and I've had plenty of old LCD Android that are slower than the Mars. I've never complained about it's speed.

Wacom is ancient and buggy. That's why MS bought Ntrig. Apple, of course, famously denied anyone would want one and when they decided it was a good idea they did their own, at x2 to x5 the retail price of alternatives compatible with the Pencil.

And yes, the Boox sound good, but seem expensive and hyped.
