Back from the beach, too hot for me today !

I will try to repost the pic to make it zoomable, I was careful not to have a big pic as the original is 2MB and I don't want Dr Drib having to post an angry green post.

Anyway, to be fair, The Aura One is not as bad as it looks on the pic, but it is a tad washed out in comparison to the H2O. I made a test with my group of friends at the beach this morning. I first showed them the Aura One and they fell in love. Then, I showed them the H2O. They did not find it as sexy. Some (4) found that both displays had the same crispiness, the others (3) found that the H2O was crispier, just by a bit. I never said anything, just showed them both devices, let them play with them, and then just asked which one had a crispier display. Of this group of 7, every one has an E-Reader (we belong to the same book club). There are if I remember properly 4 or 5 PWs, 2 Voyages, 1 Sony T3 and 1 Energy Sistem in there.

What I want to say is that is a tough call, but some people, like me, might find their H2O a bit crispier. My H2O is very good, probably because I managed to cherry pick it when I bought it in a brick and mortar shop.

Here what I just read (http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/201...uld-have-been/ see Mo's comment :
Quote:
And the fonts on the H2O look sharper than the fonts on the Aura One.
I am not saying I am right, because there is no right or wrong here, I am just saying that I am not the only one.
