I am loving the design aesthetics of the Nova Air but I wish they’d have kept the battery size the same as that of the Nova 3 (which was 3150 mAh). Let’s hope this reduction doesn’t have a big impact on the overall performance of the Air.
Another criticism I have is the placement of the page-turning buttons of the cover. It’d make more sense if they were placed on the other side. Other than that I am loving everything about the Nova Air and would most probably choose this over the 3 if I were in the market for a 7.8″ eink device.
