So, Mimas has frontlight without any glass layer on top, like Onyx Boox Note Plus or Pro?
I don't want any glass, the flexible Mobius gives me peace of mind that I will not break it.

I have OB Note and I like everything about it except it has no card and no buttons.
Mimas seems to be the answer.
But it gives something and then takes something away:
• its default software probably is nowhere as good as OB Neo Reader 2.
Solution: to install alternatives.
• the frontlight. I would actually pay more for a model without it.
Hopefully, the loss of contrast and introduced optical distortions by the frontlight layer are not very noticeable.

• most importantly - it is white!!!
I cannot believe they do not offer a black version.
When the frame is white, the screen subjectively looks unpleasantly dark. That is just the law of nature.
White is absolutely unacceptable, especially for 10.3". For a tiny 5" or 6" white may be justified as an extension of margins so the eyes are not tired from the contrast of the frame next to the text. But with 10.3" there is a lot of space for really wide margins.
And if I read pdfs, they are all smaller than 10.3" anyway. Never A4 or A5.

So how to solve this problem with white frame?
Anybody tried to repaint it or something? It might be possible.
If not painting, perhaps covering the frame with some dark adhesive tape?
That is a no-risk solution anyway.
Or perhaps a special cover available, where it covers the frame even when it is open.
