My dream... ereader 13'3" and colour screen like Japan Display. The substitute for textbooks and library of my house.
I've already lost hope of seeing.
Pd.: what it'll make Kobo if Amazon shows and liquavista ereader? I know I will not see it but... |
Now that's the type of book I was referring to that I'd never even try to read on an ereader. For me, the ereader is my replacement for my 1000s of paperback books that I'd purchased and end up carrying one with me every day... novels I'd read on buses and subways and trains and at the beach. Any heavier reading than that just isn't suited to an ereader and it's those types of books that I'd only read on my PC or at least on a tablet... or get the printed version and just read it at home.

And exactly for this reason, I realize the limitations of e-ink. Color e-ink displays are washed out and I don't think will ever be as vibrant as you see on LCD/LED screens even years from now. And trying to read a book filled with beautiful color images and larger pages with text laid out that can't reflow just isn't doing those books justice. I wouldn't want to ruin a book like that by trying to fit it within e-ink confines.
