Typing experience on Oasis
Hi everyone,
I am now using PW3 for my most reading activities. I took notes in the text while I read, which as you know, a bit slow and error prone. I am considering Oasis for its lightweight. Anyone know, is there difference in responsiveness or accuracy typing in Oasis compared to PW3? Thank you. |

I think the main problem is that you are using a device optimized for low-power battery life, minimal screen refreshes, etc.
It's not so bad, but there is definitely a bit of lag. And it's been that way since forever, so if they haven't fixed it by the time the PW3 came around I feel confident they haven't fixed it in the Oasis either... ... Especially because the hardware in the latest PW and the Voyage and Oasis is pretty much identical. |

How about doing your reading in an e-ink device, but taking notes on an iPad or PC, with the same book open?
(Sorry -- I never take notes. I only read for fun.) |
