What makes you draw that conclusion Harry? Do you have a link to a factual study of the Kindles typography with relation to eInk display technology (particularly the varients used in the Kindle and Kobo's) or do yourself have a background in typographic analysis and design with technical insight to eInk screens? Not trying to have a go, genuinely interested in your assertion.
