You seem to think there's a big difference between the current iLiad screen and a vizplex screen. The iLiad screen isn't really the same as other first generation eInk screens, they do a lot of custom work themselves on the display. I've seen technical specs comparing the iLiad and the vizplex, and there's not really that much difference. The vizplex is slightly brighter (a couple percentage points) and has a faster refresh rate, but the iLiad screen has a slightly better contrast. Both of them have the same 16 grey scales (first gen eInk only has 4).

What improvement do you think iRex would make switching to a vizplex screen on the iLiad? Just because it's the latest eInk buzz word?
