Hello,

I've had the opportunity to spend about 10 minutes in a store trying a Kobo Touch device, and now I'd like to know if that is the exact quality of display all the other readers with E-Ink have?

I found the contrast too low (background is too grey) and (I don't really know if that's separate) the letters seemed blurry, at least at "normal" font sizes.

For those of you who are familiar with this, to me it felt unpleasant in a way that's similar to what looking at an LCD with subpixel hinting on (which I strongly dislike) feels like.

So, are they all the same, or is there a point for me to try a T1 in a store?
