And my point was that the Reflective TCT LCD used by Jetbook and Aluratek is not ePaper (eInk is brand of ePaper, not the technology itself) and it is decidedly different in many of its properties from the color LCD's used by a lot of the Android based readers. Prior to the Nook Color, it was probably more prominent than color LCDs in dedicated readers. Its relative prominence and unique advantages and disadvantages mean that many who would not embrace eInk and/or color LCD's, might choose it for reading instead.
