I will wait to see pictures of the white version and for Boox to make a statement about what generation they are using before buying. I'm getting highly annoyed with their shady business practices. I wish some reputable brand would start making Android e-readers and phones, so I wouldn't have to use Hisense and Onyx for that.. Last edited by kandwo; 11-11-2022 at 09:25 AM. |

Does it have a gravity sensor?
The only way I could deal with buttons on only one side would be if I could switch hands and invert the device. (There are already mechanisms in Android to make the button sense reverse.) |

I haven't yet checked to see what file systems the Leaf 2 supports on the SD card. I'll let you know when I find out. I also don't know whether the SD card would be read as as internal storage if I formatted it, say, as ext2 or ext4. |

You can also choose "rotate manually" and keep a preferred rotation. Last edited by downeaster59; 11-11-2022 at 09:01 AM. |

The only screen that tops it is my Kindle Voyage. Weirdly, it seems almost as if the text is on top of the glass layer. You feel even closer to it that on the Libra 2.. |

Moreover, I don't actually want either buttons or an accelerometer. (That's my old clicker, since replaced with a custom built one.) |

I just don't see any reason not to use Carta 1200 on modern screens. Why wouldn't you maximize the contrast on a device used for reading? Sharpness and contrast should be the main priority in my opinion. Especially since you don't have to compromise - it's not like maximizing the contrast detracts from the functionality of the reader or anything. |

SD is more important to me, so I ordered the Leaf2, assuming the screen would be no worse than the Leaf1, where I find the edges eg too sharp and any lack of symmetry when holding (landscape) bothers me. |
