I was going to ask if this would have the same problem with decreased contrast while viewing it from an angle, but I found this on the "Wide Viewing Angle" page:

Though the contrast ratio is reduced uniformly in all azimuthal directions as the viewing angle approaches the plane of the display, it is still excellent. Seeing is believing.

Hmm...
You could extrapolate from their
unlabeled graph that the contrast is reduced by up to 70% depending on the viewing angle, and probably isn't going to look very good at a 45-degree incline. Despite that, the backlighting and the (presumed) reduced price of the display would make this a more a much more accessible product for a lot of people who want an e-book reader but don't want to be out a few hundred dollars.
