I would also like to say that it's awesome having your presence here to ask questions about the upcoming product line. It's not a common occurrence to have this type of interaction with a company in today's world. At least not from my experience. lol So, that being said....  |
All new EZ Reader and Mentor models will be 16 shades of grey.
Yes, I noticed what you noticed. When you get a Touchscreen device it HAS to just slightly impact the screen clarity. This is because there is that extra piece of glass creating a sandwich that the resistive-touch genie goes inside. I do NOT notice it at all while reading a book... but I do notice it slightly upon start-up and menu. So, this I cannot blame on Sony or Amazon... the slight lower clarity is going to be inherant when you go to Touchscreen. It is not at all a bad thing... but your eyes and Sony are not deceiving you. I love Touch, used to sell it in three varieties on POS machines. BUT... that is why, for me at least, I will not move up to Touch on my own EZ Reader. It is really cool to let your fingers do the walking; but I would rather press a button and get the ultimate clarity. Our PRO has a great screen... but Touch will impact it a little.
That is as honest as I can give it to you!
