Of course, but it's mostly for reading. The color will probably be used for notes and the occasional image, for which it's easily good enough. When I read it's usually a foot away, while I keep my monitor at 2 feet.

Black and white content (text) has 300 dpi atleast, so for that it's perfect.

E-Ink is fantastic for lots of reading and battery life, for everything else an actual screen is leagues ahead. The response time is awful too.

Fully agree, just an observation about the comparison
