Interesting! But unless they have changed the screen technology (thinner layer between ink and surface) then I will stick to my iPad.

What I wrote in a thread on EF:

Yup e-readers are great - I loved reading on my original Kindle. Now tho, my favourite reading device is the iPad Pro.

I loved my Kindle so much that I bought an Oasis, however it’s a downgrade if reading indoors imo - they have added a thick glass/plastic in between the ink and the surface (for the backlight I think) and my eye keeps focusing on the surface! The iPad display is much nicer. I’ll only use the Kindle outdoors or if I need to carry something light, but for indoors, I feel the iPad Pro is close to perfect (just make sure it is is aeroplane mode to cut down on EMF).

Let us know how you get on if you get it Adam!

I really like my kindle for reading, but not sure if I’d enjoy writing on it since the screen response is quite slow (I guess every e-ink screen probably is ), so not sure about this new one.
Anyway, I’d like to try it xD
