The first part of that is pretty much how I expected it. The has been a lot of comments about the Carta 1200 screen being faster. But, the way that the ereaders use the screens isn't going to show that. I'd expect the difference to be noticeable if they played a video. But, ereaders render the page and then send that to the screen. Then render the next when requested and sends that. The CPU, storage access and RAM etc are all going to be more important than the screen.

And the difference in the hardware between the Libra H2O and Libra 2 is pretty small. It's the case, the screen, storage and whatever is needed for the Bluetooth to work. It is the same CPU and RAM. I'm pretty sure the access to the storage and screen will be the same.
