This should be good for image-loading too, which is very slow on the Kindle 1.

The 8 levels of color alone, over the Kindle 1's 4 levels will make a big difference in illustrations in books and daily newspapers.
I believe it's the controller that governs this. They are using the new controller, but as I said that is not quite enough to tempt me to upgrade.
