Most e-ink paper has a refresh rate of ~790ms in grayscale mode, which almost all ebook devices use. However, there is a 2nd mode, called 1bit mode, which has a refresh rate of ~260ms, I do not know how to access this mode, I just know its available. I am wondering what ebooks would look like in 1 bit mode, if they would have jaggies or not.

On the other hand, I stopped noticing the text and only ever see a black screen.

As I started this thread, I thought I'd weigh in my new opinion. After much research and research and going back to the borders store to play with the PRS-505 some more, I came to the conclusion it didn't really bother me.
Yeah its a little different at first. But I quickly got used it and have read 5 books now on my reader I just acquired last week. I'm addicted. I haven't read this many books in years. |

I'm w/ Danny, I hit the page turn button as I read the last couple of lines --- usually I time it so that I don't have to wait too long and it's pretty rare that it turns before I'm done reading, though it is awkward when reading aloud to my kids --- have to memorize a couple of words to keep from having a noticeable pause.
I really wish that there were an option to display in multiple columns like to Tofu.app for Mac OS X so that one could turn and read continuously. William |
