Or if you don't want your page's content to completely shift away from its background (irreversibly) when rotating the device. Those are just the most prominent bugs I remember, there were more. I love the writing feel of E-Ink; the software makes it unusable. You may be thinki…

I had the same issues with my Nova 3, but many of them were fixed by the 3.2 firmware update. There are still some bugs, but they greatly improved the pen experience.

I was curious if the device could recognise my terrible handwriting. As per this page, they use MyScript[1]. Here's a demo of the software if anyone's interested to confirm the same: https://webdemo.myscript.com/views/text/index.html 1: https://myscript.com (TIL)

You don't pay VAT in the USA? I don't remember specific examples but usually prices of phones or such were just 1:1 even if the exchange rate was like .95

I never recall 1:1 pricing here in europe... everything was much more expensive. Whenever I could, I would ask relatives/friends from the US bring in things that I wanted.

Reusable =/= recyclable. Palimpest is more like erasing pencil writing and then re-writing. > Again, this sounds like it's purely driven by cost concerns.

A wonderful product ruined by a proprietary cloud. The problem with the latter was very promptly proven by the unilateral imposition of a subscription. The product is useless without its cloud.

I have an Onyx Boox e-ink writing device. While it also has a cloud service, it seems to be less necessary since it is just Android so you can just install whatever you need on it. I use Syncthing for this and it works fine.
