Well,
maybe I express my toughs not very well. Here then you a simple test to prove you the color sometime are of crucial importance.

Lady Valentinka, try the attached PDF on JBC and on Kindle or any other eink-pearl, perhaps you will understand what I mean.

Attachment 84144

What is the "purple area"? and others? Depending of desaturation algorithm implemented on your B/W eReader you could have several RBG color mapped into the same Grayscale color. Of course in Triton can occurs the same because of only 4096 colors but the cases are a "bit" less (pearl has 16 grey level).

Keep in mind I could find worse examples if I would.

Ok, so there are cases in what kindle/M92 doesn't show document well. Can you really assert kindle (or M92) is rubbish? well, I can't! Pearl eink is very fantastic for reading B/W static documents.

P.s: the PDF I used Attachment 84145
Dear mod186k1,

First of all I would like to thank you for your very valuable (at least for me) input into this discussion. I really respect your opinion. I downloaded your file. I loaded your file to each of my 3 devices: JBC, DX and iPad 2. I loaded your file without any modification from my side (how it is) and opened it on each of my 3 devices. I JUST opened your file on each device and didn't do anything else (reflow, zoom and etc)

The reason I decided to include iPad 2 into this comparison (about colors) is that in my opinion between these 3 devices only iPad 2 can display colors WELL. And your already know my approach to displaying colors: or display them WELL (iPad 2) or dont display them AT ALL (just display them in B/W) like DX does and don't mislead people. That is what JBC is basically doing in terms of colors: misleading people.

This is just my own opinion based on my personal experience with JBC. And I am very happy for everyone who enjoys having colors on their JBCs. And I respect their opinions, too.

P.S. And again - ghosting, ghosting, ghosting on JBC. I understand that it is not connected to the color issue I discuss in my post. Maybe somebody even doesn't notice it. But it bothers ME a lot (see the text from the previous page with so called purple color on JBC). Sorry for mentionnig it again, but this ghosting just REALLY bothers me A LOT. None of my other devices does it.
