But I'm no purist. Something better than eInk comes out I'm there. Whatever gets the job done.

I don't like those new highly glossy LCD screens on modern laptops, and cellphones.
I use my PDA for reading. It has a transflective LCD screen and is very easy on the eyes. It both reflects and transmits light. It's not too bright and very easy to read in day light. And it most certainly isn't glossy... (I'd only see myself in it...)
The main reason I want an e-ink book is because it is cool...

You know, I actually liked reading on my Franklin ebookman before it died on me, despite it's many major faults.
I liked the screen.
Sure, I had to angle it because of reflectiveness sometimes, but for me it was ok.
I have to mention that I have 20/20 vision though...
If I find another one used, I think I'll buy it. |
And I got two, in perfect working condition
