Yup. That's the first generation Vizplex's 7:1 contrast ratio next to Carta's 15:1 ratio. I can't get my DXG started (I think the battery is shot). It's better than the DX but still visibly inferior to my Forma and Aura One.

And Forma is 50% better than DXG's Pearl display.
If contrast is a thing then Forma wins. If PPI is a thing then Forma wins. If resolution is a thing then Forma wins. If size is a thing then DXG barely wins -- barely because the top and bottom margins on the Kindle are hard-coded and you lose from 50 to 100 pixels depending on the file format. That's ~1cm which brings the effective screen size to about 1cm wider and 1.5cm taller than Forma. The only clear winner is price and that's only if you think your time is better spent making the Kindle work.
