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
I wanted to add, that though it may look like certain pictures on the Jetbook are more pixelated then on another e-ink reader, I do believe the reason for that is because pearl e-ink has 16 gray levels, and the JBC has only 8.
However, the JBC, as 8 shades of any color too. 8 shades of yellow, orange red, green, blue, purple, etc, etc, totaling ~4000 and something colors.
A pearl e-ink b&w has only 16 colors at best!

If the JBC had 16 gray levels, it would have 16Million colors in total, and images would look more smooth. Right now they look more like a 256color image on a computer (technically they are 12 bit instead of 8).
