>>I now just use my regular android phone as my flight computer. I don't see >>the need for a second android device just for my glider. Sunlight visibility, barring transflective displays (all but dead now) is mostly about the nits/candelas per sqm.
I have Ozrunways on an iPhone and it does not compare in brightness with an LX8000. More to the point, when flying beyond the normal gliding areas, you want your phone working as a phone with a fully charged battery, even it it is only to run the InReach. The other drawback is heat. In the recent heat, nothing worked very well other than the LX since it was so hot that the screens blacked out. So yes, the Kobo might be slow and mono but it's cheap enough for a backup.
