However, the screenshot would appear in colour on a device which is able to display colour.
So I also took two pictures of the screen of the A5 Pro CC to show how the image renders on the device. One is of the whole image; the other is zoomed in. The light is on full in a semi-dark room. I did not play around with contrast or saturation which can be adjusted somewhat as desired.
As you might imagine, the actual image on the screen is better than is displayed in my photos. I think it would be a very useful device for maps which is one of the reasons I finally bit the bullet and got one.

Thank you! Sorry, of course you're right, a screenshot captured from the device wouldn't have been much use; only photos of the screen actually show how it is displayed on the e-ink screen. Thanks for bearing with me, and 'interpreting' the sense of my question to make a more useful answer...
I was impressed how your photos came out. That really does look pretty useable, especially given that you can zoom in on the detail if need be, as you showed. Do you think it would still work well outdoors without the light on? I suppose the power drain from the light is still minimal compared to a normal LCD screen, so not too much of a problem even if not. I think I want one...
