Ectaco Color's firmware appears to have addressed some of the issues that
were raised against the original Hanvon firmware's performance, but then
they also created a device tailored to the educational market and the
stipulations of the Russian contract.
So, logic would suggest that the Hanvon WiseReader E920, being a high res
b/w device, it would then be the better renderer of b/w documents. That is
only true as far as the hardware capabilities are concerned. There are many
examples of the critical difference that the firmware makes with this type of
device, so some caution is advised.

Do you have any idea about the size of these companies? It would be interesting to know how many programmers are working there, how many readers are sold etc.
This would supply some perspective to the future development of software features.
Some companies as Onys or Pocketbook seem to be so small that improvements happen only at a snails pace. And one step forward always seems to imply at least half a step back ...
This appears to be different with Hanvon and especially Ectaco, but who knows.
