In short, I doubt you'll find a modern eink screen that looks as good unlit as the old K4.

Not killing the messenger

but this depresses me greatly. It is a regression to me not an improvement. I don't want to use the light, I have discomfort with a lot of LED lighting for some reason, and prefer overhead/natural light but it is uncomfortable with dark displays. Give me the K4 display in a 7.8" device and I am set. Despite the "low" PPI it's the best E-Reader experience I have ever had. Sad what I want isn't out there.
