Videos or screeshots of CC on eink devices? Does it run smoothly?

Is there any video or screenshot of Calibre Companion running on eink devices, like the Onyx Boox?

Is anyone using it on these devices? Does it run OK, or are the screens (eg slow refresh rate) and the processors too slow to search large collections efficiently?

Thanks!

I run CC on an Onyx Afterglow 2, an old e-ink e-reader. Works fine for me.

E-Ink devices all refresh at more-or-less the same rate. Fine for page flipping, not acceptable for animations and video.

I have 600 books on my Afterglow and have no issues with grouping and sorting.
