There are other threads where you can argue this out if you feel the need - this is not one of them.
My point was, to me, personally, the lighting is so much better that I am seriously considering getting an Aura, though I love Amazon and would continue purchasing content there. I agree that the contrast is better on the Kindle - fonts look much darker with the light on medium and high, though would be interested to see the font in different weights ( see Booklover6 comment above).
I like the side by side comparison because it shows both lit screens next to each other. |
I just watched the comparison of the Paperwhite and the Kobo. A couple of points that I will make is they really need to turn that damn light down on the Kobo so we can see the text better. The reviewers have it way too bright compared to the PW. Also WTF is up with those super wide line heights. You can get a lot more text on the smaller PW than on the Kobo. I hope that is just an indication that the reviewers are lacking in knowledge on how to set up an ereader rather than an indication that Kobo has created line heights that are virtually unusable. Good lord it looks like the old term papers I wrote a hundred years ago in college where I was required to use double line spacing so the professor could write her/his comments between the lines! Ugly and difficult to read. Yuk!
