The E Ink display remains as clever an addition as it always has
Never jarring on the eyes. You may be looking at a screen
But it doesn’t feel like you are at all. It really is a marvel. Everything about it and what’s on display is designed to get your reading
And swiping through those pages. Sure

Awkward page turning

A bit big
Not enough new features to persuade existing owners to upgrade

There is a slight delay when scrolling through lists
