In the case of outside sun light, an extra layer may actually grey out the blinding white background a bit, making it a bit more usable in sunlight.
In regular rooms the difference will be barely noticeable.
In dark rooms e-ink is useless, and this will be a wonderful feat!
I think overall e-ink devices might win out of it.
When the light is disabled, the white will be greyed out a bit.
When the light is enabled, the blacks will be greyed out a bit.
A small compensation for being able to use the device in ALL light environments!
And if you ask me, I use the reader more often in dark rooms than in outside sunlight!
I love my garden but I love my bed even more!
If you ask me, EVERY E-ink READER SHOULD HAVE A NIGHT AND DAY MODE (meaning reading the book normal, or in negative).
