So yesterday I finally got my PRS-650 after 2 weeks of deciding which e-reader I should buy.
Now because of this E-book reader matrix right here i was certain that the Sony PRS-650 uses the E-Ink Pearl technology. But when I turn the power of the device on, it says "E-Ink Vizplex" at the bottom of the screen.
Living in Germany it's hard to get your hands on E-book readers in stores, so I had almost nothing to compare different e-readers and could only rely on the internet for information on them. So does the PRS-650 use the newest screen technology Pearl or does it use Vizplex?
