I agree with all three points, but I think there is still room for useful improvement in e-ink contrast and, to a lesser extent, whiteness.

Of course, there is always room for software improvement. I also think the largest impediment to software improvement in readers is the closed nature of the platforms.

I agree with JSWolf on the software aspects. I do enjoy using Moon+, from a feature point of view. Moon+ clearly beats a Kindle in the feature department, but the Kindle with it's eInk screen beats Moon+ in the eye comfort department. Although, once I get Moon+ set up the way I like it, I pretty much only use page turning and simple navigation. Sometimes font resizing when my eyes get tired. That's why, given a choice, I will always choose my Kindle PW3 over my tablet with Moon+ if both are available to me (except when reading PDF's).
