Wanted: E Ink Ereader
« on: January 28, 2011, 08:08:01 AM »
I am placing this ad on the off chance someone made it to Thailand with a     E Ink Ereader and would like to sell it now.
Brand names I am interested in are: Pocketbook or Barnes & Noble.
I might be interested in a Cruz but they are not E Ink.

First lets expalin what E Ink is all about:  confused3

E Ink short review:
E-book readers are lightweight and use little power, but most have a distinct disadvantage to colorful tablet computers: their black-and-white displays.

E Ink screens have two advantages over LCD — they use far less battery power and they are readable in the glare of direct sunlight.

However, the new color E Ink display, while an important technological breakthrough, is not as sharp and colorful as LCD. Unlike an LCD screen, the colors are muted, as if one were looking at a faded color photograph. In addition, E Ink cannot handle full-motion video. At best, it can show simple animations.

Admin:  You are absolutely correct. Ereaders are not computers -- they are ebooks -- designed to allow someone to comfortably read any of the ebook formats to be found online (epub, pdf, lit, azf. txt and many more.) without eyestrain and the convenience and portability of a paper book. Like all electronic devices they come with all kinds of gimmicks and gadgets -- some good, some not so good.
As for the new e ink color -- not many people have heard of it because it doesn't work very well yet.
