Nova Air 2 & Kindle app question
I'd like to get away from using the iPad Kindle app "immersion reading" feature. I like to switch between audio and reading when my hands are busy or eyes are tired, but I enjoy still seeing the book on screen.

So... can I do this on the Boox? I'd love to be able to use this feature with e-ink in bed at night.

A quick update - Boox Leaf 2* purchased and the Kindle app does exactly what I need. Screen refresh needs to be on speed mode for highlighting to work correctly. The speaker sound could be better but it'll do. If it bothers me I'll output via Bluetooth.

*Decided to save some $ as my first Boox purchase so picked Leaf 2 over Nova Air 2.

I hope I'm not asking for a lot here but do you mind sharing a video? I want to see how it looks.

If you cannot, can you asnwer these questions?

Does the page turn automatically?
How good is the sync? Is there any lag?
How is the highlighting? Does it obscure the text or interfere in any way?

The last post was quite a while ago.

I don't know anything about text-to-speech.

I no longer am using the Boox. It became too laggy to use. I suspect it was because of a Kindle app update.

The pages did turn automatically.
The sync was good at first, but the last time I used it was very laggy.
While it worked, the highlighting was fine.

To be honest I was so frustrated that I shoved the thing in a drawer and forgot about it. I'm no longer buying from Kindle/Audible/Amazon.

The Kindle app for Android is a big pig at 150 MB. KOReader is 30 MB.
