You're not going to be viewing "art" on any eInk device and honestly, in practical terms, whether an eInk screen has 4, 8, or 16 grey scales makes next to no practical difference. The dithering algorithm that the machine has does a perfectly respectable job of handling the type of illustrations found in most books. Not to mention the fact that the overwhelming majority of books do consist simply of "plain text" .
