A few days ago I got some feedback from someone who wanted to see what a PDF document looks like on the E Ink display. \u00a0E Ink is\u00a0renowned\u00a0for its readability and high contrast without the use for a backlit like traditional LCD or LED based displays which can cause eye discomfort after prolonged usage. However, only the latest E Ink Triton displays are capable of colour reproduction (up to 4096 colours) whilst the original E Ink and E Ink Peral displays are limited to greyscale reproduction.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I have taken some photos of the E Ink Pearl display on the Kindle DX, Please note that blurring is as a result of using a digital SLR so the centre of the photo will be most in focus.<\/p>\n

Granted, I’m not the best photographer in the world but hopefully you can see how similar the display is to traditional paper. What I would recommend you do though is get out to a store such as Borders (as long as they don’t completely go under) and have a look at the eBook readers there. Of course, you won’t find a Kindle in there (unless they are desperate) but you’ll get an idea of what one looks like hands on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
