That is irrelevant for comparing the Glo to the Kindle Basic. I'm obviously talking about the native contrast of the screen. Which is the same for both readers.
It also doesn't invalidate what I said, increasing the resolution of the screen is not an indication that ereader tech is evolving. It's not innovative. Bright saturated color, increasing the number of shades of the grayscale, improving the contrast of the screen... these things would indicate to me that Eink is not stagnant. They have not happened. Years have gone by and all we have to show for it is higher resolution screens, slightly better contrast, and poor washed out color.
If I compare the Kindle 3 to the Voyage I see almost the same contrast, slightly sharper fonts and that is pretty much it. Eink is stagnant.
