Hey - at home next to my too small but much beloved Kobo the screens are indeed actually a similar colour. It could be percection to a degree as well - the kobo sides are white, but not as white, which could make the screen appear lighter in contrast (compared to the bright white pocketbook).
Regarding macular degeneration - and it's use for an elderly person - the weight is hefty. Good for curl up type of reading or propping on knees. I have weak wrists and could feel it after maybe 30 minutes of serious get to know it time. Fonts are very disappointing (but I'll be posting asking in the right forum if I'm missing something simple). I had thought that you could use many different fonts for reading, but initially it appears that it is only for the control interface (not particularly where I want fonts changed for easy viewing, but nice). Text does indeed go up quite a bit in size which is nice.
Pocketbook 902 pros:
- lots of screen space for those of us who blow up fonts
- good control of folders for organizing your library
- easy synch with purchased books using adobe digital editions
Cons
- heftier than a national geographic - could be a weight concern for an older person with arthritis or other grip issues
- ability to change font for easier viewing (of books) - questionable
I think I'll have to modify my original post - those nasty work lights did give a bad first impression.
Cheers, and apologies all, for the initial post not being quite correct.
