Bookeen just put a new video up on their blog. http://bookeen.blogspot.com

This brings up a question I have. The E-Ink panel supports 16-levels of greyscale does it not? Is the only thing limiting things to 4 greyscales the relatively weak hardware and they desire to have faster page turns versus overall color depth?

Bookeen already seems to have a bunch of neat configuration options, such as turning off Global Refresh for those who would rather have ghosting than flickering. Also, the status bar along the bottom is an option that can be toggled.

Can 16 greyscales also be an option? Personally, I'm not into graphic novels at all. But for those who are, could they choose a significant drop in performance in order to gain better clarity? Is there some other hardware limitation preventing 16 levels of greyscale?
