I should have added - my comment was on a k3Wifi in a plastic bag from the bath.
Still utterly legible despite the steam

now where do I get an Ipad sized freezer bag... hmm

Went and checked out a retina display (just so I wasn't talking from zero experience) hmm.. yeah, lovely hi flashy res (interpolation perhaps?) - emphasis on *flashy* there.

simply put, it's a no contest. I am incredulous that anyone would even POSIT the IDEA that it is comparable. When it comes to reading e-ink is the hands-down winner.

However, if "someone" wants to pay me several thousand dollars to say otherwise?.
I will happily publicly change that opinion. (It's the done thing seemingly)

: )
