I downloaded Kingsoft Office, it works very well, thank you!

If the delay is more and chars appear in burst, you should impose a wake-lock, as noted in the past.

(Markdown: well, I want paragraph margins, full text justification and multi-font while I am editing.)Īre you sure you have not simply hit the EPD limit? If the lag is around 150ms, you cannot have better with current e-ink displays. The use of the device to somehow display a full LibreOffice environment is promising. My foremost interest is for text editing exactly. I don't know if it's of any help, but would using Control+Left improve the situation at all in backing up to the start of words? Admittedly, this would mean retyping words from their beginnings. I tried to compare the experience with typing on a PC, and there I find that the number of characters I end up having to back up over does seem smaller - possibly 2 or more characters on average. Though I doubt I type as fast as you do, I notice a lag and that there are 4 or more characters on the screen to back up over to fix things - in my case, I wonder how much of this is due to delay and how much is due to slower reflexes. I tried a similar set up: USB keyboard via a hub connected w/ a 'special' cable and iA Writer (nice app, thanks for mentioning it, BTW). I see a great value in this device as a writing tool. I am interested in sharing your experience as a document writer on Max2. So, I must go back with my cursor and correct typos, rather than simply deleting the last character.ĭo you think that this could be improved using a writing app specifically designed for e-ink devices? Is the problem due to the fact that apps on Google Play store are not optimized for e-ink?ĭo you know of any text-editor or markdown editor optimized for these devices? It's really short, but since I type quite fast, I can detect typing errors only after I have typed 4-5 new characters. The only problem is an annoying delay while typing. I have installed IAWriter, so that I can format the text in markdown without using the mouse, and I can use it along with dropbox to synchronize with my computer. I switch to A2 mode, that gives less ghost effect and it seems faster. I use a USB keyboard connected through an OTG cable. This helps a lot focusing on what you are writing. I can write long documents (a) without the typical notebook fan noise and (b) without burning my eyes. Macher will be reading from his book at 7pm on Wednesday, July 11th at Prairie Lights in Iowa City.I use my Max2 not only to read ebooks, but for writing to. Ultimately I had to just sit down and say, ‘Okay, I’m just going to present this as straightforward as I can.’” “I was afraid of just hammering away at the sadness and bleakness of these stories and the people around me. “I just noticed I was very guarded of myself and very protective of my privacy,” Macher says. “You know everyone is doing their regular high school thing, and we're going back and detailing the parking lot in the back or picking trash in the gullies on the side of the road.”Īn Iowa Writer’s Workshop graduate, Macher used writing to process the experiences that haunted him. “We were notorious already when we walk in the door,” Macher recalls. Macher recalls the looks their group received when attending a nearby school.

While living in a halfway house in rural Louisiana, Tom Macher found kinship with other men with troubled backgrounds and broken families. “It wasn’t that I was missing a relationship with my father, or whatever other hole we feel inside ourselves.” “I felt like was the thing that I had been missing my whole life,” Tom says.

He reflects on his childhood, growing up in a commune and a boys home, and the path that led him towards alcoholism. In this episode of Talk of Iowa, Iowa Writer’s Workshop graduate Tom Macher talks with host Charity Nebbe about his debut memoir Halfway. This program originally aired on July 11, 2018.
