Interesting. When it comes to your research, there's a huge advantage in recording digital images that overcome some of the limitations of the human eye. There does seem to be a variety of different perceptions on what's being seen on these ereader screens. It's not the just the difference in the "eye of the beholder," more importantly, how each individual's brain is perceiving the image. I suppose that goes back to your earlier comment about perceptions.
