tldr: How bad is the lag on word lookups when using the Kindle Paperwhite? Is it slow enough to be frustrating and break the flow of reading?
I recently learned that e-ink Kindles can de-conjugate words during lookup, something the iOS and Android apps can't do. Because of this, I'm considering purchasing a Kindle Paperwhite for Japanese reading. I've been struggling to get into reading Japanese, and a large part of the problem has been lookup friction.
ttsu reader with Yomitan is great, but I don't want to do all my reading on desktop, and I'd rather just purchase books than fiddle with trying to remove DRM from epub files.
The Kindle Paperwhite seems promising, but I'm a bit worried about lag. My previous experience with an e-ink reader was over 10 years ago with one of the early Kindles, and I remember there being considerable lag when interacting with it.
