How is the contrast on this device compared to the InkPad? The images in Nate's review aren't really conclusive as the contrast on the InkPad there looks much better than it ever did in reality to me.
I like mine very much. Mostly because its for me more a tablet with e-ink display than a ordinary ebook reader. Additionally to my reading of mostly pdf's, i like it to read my favorite new sites on sofa with that eye-friendly display.
And with that requierments its the ideal device for me.

I have a Inkpad too, but i'll sell it. Mostly because its not fitting my requierments from above.
I would say that the contrast of Inkpad sligthly worse. As far as i know this is because the Inkpad has a additional layer for the capacitive touch. The i86 uses infrared.
Here is a comparsion video of both:

They both differ in their hardware, maybe the hardware of the Inkpad (aside from the contrast) makes a better overall impression. It has a slider bar for regulating the light, which is a feature i'm missing at other devices.
The Inkpad gives me a more iPhone-ish impression. The i86 is more "fits its needs".

But for me is the biggest difference the software.
I want to have the tablet aspect, the open android and its flexibilty.
