I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not, but I was talking about the eInk screen of the Sony PRS-505 (ie: the subject of this thread).

Have you ever closely studied the screen on your device? I think the pixels are very obvious, and don't know what to tell you except look harder If you look at the anti-aliased graphics (such as character glyphs) you can see the individual pixels easily on diagonal lines (in letters such as 'A' or 'y' and so on). If you look at characters with long vertical lines you can see that the last pixels on an edge are grey compared to the dark grey of the character's body because of the anti-aliasing.

Even more obviously, whenever the reader draws graphics which are not smoothed (such as the spinning arrows) the jagged edges show pixels easily.

For stuck pixels, that might have been a misnomer. I think I mean stuck "ink elements" because it looks as though there may be several of them in a single pixel. In any case, on my reader I have two of them which are always turned on, or black, no matter what is displayed. When I went back to the store for an exchange, the several others that I saw had the same issue.
