Comment on Ask HN: In your experience, what are sound conventions for e-ink UI development?

Comments

Asides from what's been mentioned, I'd suggest big touch targets. Because the UI is so slow, it's comparatively painful to miss a touch target, especially if the result of a miss is a UI refresh that then has to be undone before the original action can be retried.

Or even worse (looking at you Kindle) is an action that does a major context change and require more interaction to return you where you were. The Kindle’s tiny book menu three dot button is the worst.
