With the increased volume of sales and production with the Kindle and the Bookeen joining the show, lower costs for the EInk displays should follow - and more capital for technology development.
The iLiad forum has posted some excellent medical pictures for their device. Very clear and readily viewable. These are 16 gray scale (not dithered). Figures and images (not photos) should come through in excellent condition on this device. 4 is not enough and dithering typically does a poor job unless it is finely tuned.
