Does anyone run the Logos app on an Android E-ink reader?  How does it work for you?

    I run Logos on both an e-ink device and on an up-to-date Galaxy phone (as a fallback). E-ink has some positive and negative aspects.

    Positive:

    • It's very soothing for your eyes compared to an LED screen.
    • The battery lasts for about a month.
    • No distraction through other apps that are installed on the same device.
    • If you root your device, you can install your entire library on SD.

    Negatives:

    • All known e-ink devices run outdated Android versions, therefore you can only run an unsupported Logos version.
    • A small percentage of resources can't be downloaded to an unsupported Logos version (for me, about 6% of my library).
    • According to Murphy's Law, you always need the books that had not been downloaded.

    For installation, you have to download the app from FL, and sideload it onto your device.
