According to the article, the color is like a faded photo and the video play back is very slow. The price is $440, only $60 cheaper than iPad. It doesn’t look like the technology is ready for prime time. Pixel Qi seems to be a better choice since it retains color quality display of LCD but offers the option to turn off the backlit for reading in sunlight. Based on the rumors on pricing of the Notion Ink Adams; the price difference for a 10” LCD vs. Pixel Qi screen is only $50. Color e-ink might be lighter and uses less power but if it is more expensive and the color is not vibrant, it will not compete well with Pixel Qi or even LCD.
