Truetype fonts must be rendered on eInk displays using dithered bicolor PRINTER algorithms, not multiple brightness level DISPLAY algorithms. They are using display rendering with antialiasing used for light-emitting displays, which is a huge mistake.
This was pointed out to amazon many times a couple of years ago, but the warnings went unheeded. Marketing triumphs over science once again...  |
I actually like the K4's bezel to the K3's. It seems higher quality and nicer to hold. I bought a skin for my K4 in pure black and put it on for about a week. It made the K4's background look multicolor part grey, part green and it looked very dirty. The text did pop out a bit more but I couldn't stand the ugly background so I tore it off. $25 for a piece of vinyl That will teach me.
