Awesome!!! Really hyped to see if you like it!
So I've been using it intensely for a couple of days. I think it's a very good match for what i wanted to do. (multi-doc switching + separate note taking, with color). I do have a couple of enhancement requests that I'm going to submit to the software team. Quite nice battery life for pure reading as well.
Small update after using it for a couple of weeks:
Installed apps:
- cloudLibrary
- Handy News Reader (rss)
Handy News Reader:
- getpocket's rss to save stuff to read later
- lemmy rss feed
- various other
Main use cases:
- read up on news through HNR: works very well, it has builtin nav buttons to avoid scrolling
- read pdf documents: use NeoReader, works excellently
- read (epub-style) ebooks: use NeoReader+cloudLibrary, both work very well
- play Solo RPG: take notes, navigate in different tables; requires frequent switching between note app and NeoReader. Not ideal, split screen mode would result in too little screen estate for the pdf. I've setup the android 'recently used' shortcut as swiping up bottom left, but still not ideal.
Battery Life:
- ebook reading: excellent: a couple %/h
- pdf reading: good: <10%/hour
- general usage: frequent app switching, ...: reasonable ~10%/h
