*) Reading in my ebook app, finding a new word
*) Switching to Macmillan Dictionaries either in an app or online to find definition of the word (I think this dictionary does it best, perhaps, they're only in app now)
*) Switching to Google Chrome to find an example sentence for the word, sometimes in Oxford Dictionaries (I haven't had a good ereader in a year, dunno if they're still online)
*) Switching to Anki app, where I make a new flashcard. Typing and cutting and pasting to make the flashcard how I want it. Putting in etymology, which I make shorter manually by deleting anything superfluous)
*Switching back to ereader app.

I'm having trouble filming a video with a comparison. I'm not very good at filming stuff.
EDIT: I recommend watching with the sound off. There's some annoying noise in the video.
https://send.internxt.com/download/0...c9a08e96e0f20c (link to the video. It's a bit big, 200mb, so I don't know if it can be uploaded here.)
But here's a video with the same book open in Koreader and looking up a word using aard2 with offline wiktionary. The word is looked up using a long press, which, at least subjectively, is generally faster on both devices than shown on the video. I think it's a bit slower here since I'm trying to balance the camera and press at the same time.
Page turning is a bit faster on the Palma, but there's also more ghosting, as can be seen when returning back to the first page. The ghosting can also be seen in the dictionary when switching between the different dictionaries there. Generally, I have the Palma set up to do a full refresh on every page turn.
There are some other differences like the Palma having better contrast. This is due to my having a screen protector on the Bigme. And the contrast settings are generally lower by default on it.
Generally, they are both fast enough for navigation, writing and that kind of stuff. Bigme is faster when it comes to browsing the web, loading heavy pages, etc. And the anti-ghosting works a bit better than on Palma IMO.
