Hello,
All V5, V3+, as well as coming new firmwares for V3, using 'new SDK' and 'new kernel" use a different font rendering library and show very different and poor over screen, comparing with previous 'old SDK', 'old kernel', 'old font library' on-screen font-rendering. This, as well as the missing keystrokes have been two, among some more others, serious problems for 'new firmwares' since first released and test versions months ago... hope all of this will be fixed for just coming new versions from Jinke and later "official" for all related-brands.
Other than that, yes, have more gray levels, and can render using more and different dithering levels, this is great for pictures and books containing photos and graphics (mainly, those using .pdf and/or ADE), but, for fonts and formats handled by CoolReader... I prefer stay and read using older SDK and firmware, even if somewhat slower.
Best regards.
