Whatever it is - writing latency, screen response time - he shows, in milliseconds, how long it takes for the line to appear after the tip has touched the surface of the screen. I don't see why it matters to the user writing with the pen what exactly is being measured, but the result thereof.

And in his tests Sage and Elipsa are slower. He is also not the only reviewer complaining about the speed. Or the pen, which apparently is uncomfortable to write with for longer periods (according to him and some other Youtubers - I haven't tested it). Add to that the battery life of the Sage, which drops precipitously when writing actively, and the lack of functionality compared to Boox or Supernote, and I don't see why Kobo would be recommended. Especially as Kobo is in no hurry to improve the note taking functionality.

I would love Kobo to be great in that department. In fact, I would love to be able to use only Kobo for everything e-ink. But until they improve some aspects of the writing and dictionary use that won't happen.

(My dream would be to use something like an upgraded version of the PineNote, but I doubt that'll ever be available.)
