I have been seriously considering picking up one of these for a dedicate e-reader device just for The Economist (using a custom version of the Economist I create every week), mostly for around my house.
The main thing holding me back is still needing to carry two devices when im mobile, and of course, investing in hardware for a single publication.
I really prefer reading on e-ink, I like the form factor of this, and the performance seems decent for reading.
Do it. I got a Kobo Elipsa 2E largely so I could read Communications of the ACM. A separate device with a screen optimized for reading, zero notifications, and an unalluring web browser is exactly what I need for concentrated reading.
Oh! How is the Koba scrolling performance? I want to scroll my articles, not page them.
I don’t know if it has that option.
I'm interested in your remix of The Economist.
