I do care about a good screen, and that's a point in favor of the Yota. 16 greyscale levels can't compete with 16 million colors, at least, when the contest is about more than simulating a paper book. Which even the Yota does half-convincingly at 960x540 pixels, bad print and all.

Are there any E Ink devices with custom ROMs? Maybe old & cheap? |
Why only chose between Hisense A5 and Yotaphone? There is also Hisense
A6L (and older
A6) which both have dual color and eink screen and both support custom XDA roms e.g. for
A6L and for
A6
