  • Faster page turns

it was about a year after the first generation came out that they announced Vizplex, wasn't it? So why so quiet now?

The way I see it, it's either they have trouble improving the current generation or they are concentrating their whole attention on color eink. In which case I think is a mistake because I'd rather see a higher contrast B&W screen with faster page turns and even lower energy consumption (one may dream...).

So what do you think/know?
To tell the truth a PRS-505 is as good a book reader as it could be. I just wish for battery life of PRS-500.
No ghosting, good contrast, quick page turning.
