Screen uniFORMAty? (see what I did there?)

Okay. Although that's one of the reasons I've avoided capacitive screens. I like the dark (high contrast) fonts. But I guess it would depend on how much of a difference there is. And, more importantly, it has nothing to do with the plastic substrate, which was my main worry — since that seems to be the coming trend.

Just to add to that, as I too have KA1 and H2O. It is pretty obvious when you have two devices side by side.

But, on other hand, as I do read only one book at a time, with only one device (now KA1 is my main device), this is not noticeable in actual reading practice.

So yes, there's difference, but it doesn't matter to me. To someone it might...

Plastic is much better solution. Glass is the my main worry for my KA1.

Glass can be broken much easier than plastic.

I also have color-uniFORMAty issues along the fat edge.
