Very tempting. Wasn't in the market for a new ereader, but I may just change my mind.
I wonder if pictures sketched in colour on this ereader will appear the same as they do on the ereader when exported or whether they will be more vibrant. I am hoping that they will appear the same as they do on the ereader. |

Sadly it also comes with a Wacom layer. Again dark spots in direct sunlight when it's summer:

$420 blaze it!
Great price, I'd only feel 110% ripped off instead of 150%. |

The 10.3 is going to be expensive... :/ The Max, just a dream :/
Very cool product, and some of the updates in the firmware are very cool |

Would be cool if this problem is gone. I bought Nova 2 especially for reading outdoor in the summer season. Always needed to refresh the screen, even without scrolling. My girlfriends Kindle doesn't had this behavior.

It's only 7.8 inch Wacom - I haven't seen this behavior with others. So far, I haven't heard anything from the Nova 3 in this regard. |

I believe reading using a different app from NeoReader solves the problem. I used KOReader and there wasn't any problem reading in the sun. I assume it's because it doesn't make use of the wacom layer.

I am not sure about that. I think I can remember that the bug also appeared in Calibre Companion and AlReader.

Is there a download file for a manual update?

I downloaded firmware 3.1 this morning. The v.2 of ePub rendering is unusable. A LOT of problems.
