when i was looking for an #eink tablet, i wasn't sure whether i really needed a frontlight. i decided to give #supernote a try, and so far, i haven't found myself in a situation where i wished it had one. i actually enjoy the brighter display and the superb writing experience.
another thing i wasn't sure about was whether i needed a tablet running a newer version of #android. i still don't know how that will work out in the long run, but for now, it simply doesn't matter. the software is stable, fast enough for my needs, and energy-efficient.
