Looking at it in an image editor/viewer, hint - any viewer/editor will be just fine, the banding is even more apparent as you zoom in. but also there is a section in the mid-portion of the image where the banding is curved so it could well be simply due the angle of the panel relative to the sun light. I guess I am saying it could simply be a failure of the photo to give a completely accurate image. Which means we reach another of those "...need to see it in real life..." things.
It's not just the fact that the image is a photograph of the real thing taken in less than perfect conditions, you are also looking at re-sized, most probably 72dpi, compressed jpg image. There is no way to evaluate the true quality of the display or colours it produces from that picture.

For example I just downloaded RHEL 6 manuals in epub format and they contain colours and colour images and having them shown in colours on my reader would be perfect, even if only in 256.
