- The reviews I've seen of the T68 (e.g. here and here) make no complaint about the screen.
- It is rather difficult to find English-language reviews of foreign-market-only models (e.g. Tolino Shine, i63ML), so claims about them really need to be backed up with the actual reviews they came from.
- Even (recent model) Kindles have quality issues, e.g. this review of the Voyage:
But at the end of the day, I'm probably never going to use a Kindle (unless and until somebody works out how to completely replace its OS with an open version of Android), so am largely indifferent to comparisons to it. As long as my next eReader is a noticeable all-around improvement on my current i62HD, I will be happy. |
Pocketbook Ultra 650, Onyx Boox I63ML Newton and Tolino Vision all have Carta displays. I've read many many many reviews (mostly in Russian) of the two former and many of them complain about the frontlight.
As for the frontlight on the Voyage - thanks for sharing the link. I admit that I didn't know about this and I do know that the frontlight on the Kindle Paperwhile 2 (and Kobo Aura HD) is widely praised for its uniformity. I didn't know that in the Vision the frontlight issues returned :-(
