At least the Kyobo was that way. The one in the Forbes article does look better - assuming it's not using faked images, of course.
Well, there seems to be conflicts. Look at this quote from Forbes:
"Since the Hanvon C18 utilizes mirasol, it promises the same kinds of benefits the technology does, namely bright colors even in the sun, weeks-long battery life and a refresh rate fast enough to support video." (my bold)

Says "bright" colors, "sunlight" reading, and "video." Kind of like a LCD (AMOLED) tablet plus e-Ink sunlight readability with very long battery life. If true, that is fantastic!
