People seem to be confusing white reflectance with contrast. Pixel Qi does not quite achieve the same white state an electrophoretic display can (despite the marketing on their front page), but the black of a reflective LCD can be quite a bit superior to the black of an EPD. Thus in some of the pictures, the background may not appear as "white" (light gray) as an EPD, but the text should be equally or more readable.
Seems the newest E-Ink might catch up a bit in terms of contrast, but still lacks speed and the backlit color option.
