Hi, thanks for the detailed demonstration. One reason I was hesitant to buy android based ereaders is that most android apps are unoptimized for eink. For example, around 4:08, there's a noticeable stutter when turning pages caused by the sliding animation. I found this rather distracting with my ereader that I stopped using the Kindle app on it. I think Boox devices can work around the animation stutter by changing the animation filtering setting. Is there a similar option for the supernote as well? I would like an e ink tablet to write on, but my primary use case would be reading and annotating.
2:37 the A5 X2 display is only a few mm larger in each dimension, so that wouldn’t make such a big difference. Pretty sure it’s the line height that’s configured differently. The lines on your A5 X2 are much more vertically dense than on your A5 X here. I don’t have my Manta yet, but I guess you can configure that, right? If they are set to the same line height, there shouldn’t be too much of a difference left.
Thank you for the comment. I tried to set them identical, but it is possible there were some differences. If you look at it in full HD, you can definitely see a difference in the clarity. You may be very well be right about line spacing or how it was interpreted between the two different app versions. The Manta supports a newer version of the Kindle app, I believe. One thing that is important here is that I have only had the device 4 days. so I am kind of sharing experiences in real-time. In a week or so, I am going to release a video on whether going from the A5X to the A5X2 is worth the upgrade. Having used the A5X2 for 3.5 years, I think that is a good comparison to make. Thanks again for the response.
This is what I will be exploring over the next few weeks. The addition of other reader apps is the biggest benefit I can see and the clarity is definitely better. However, I have used my A5X for years with no issues. A lot will depend on whether you feel you need a replacement and might be willing to part with your A5X (resale value is decent) to offset the cost. Even then, a lot depends on how well your A5X currently functions. I want to weigh all of that. Thanks for the comment.

Very hard to tell via camera. I'm on the fence if it's worth getting it over my A5X for my use case. Work notes mostly n some Kindle reading
