Looking at the images on Reinkstone's site, the colour looks very similar to Kaleido2.
Looking at the good-display.com website, it does say 4096 colours again matching Kaleido.
For the weight, I might as well buy an iPad Air for the 70 grams difference and get a display capable of full colour video at decent frame rates. |
If the contrast ratio of the DES slurry display or whatever is better than eInk's before the color layer it might be better. The comparison video they posted between the Nova 3 Color and Reinkstone looks to me like the Reinkstone is a tad better...
I'd like a color version of my Boox Note Air. Occasionally a journal article will have a figure that requires color to make any sense of it and 4096 is enough for that. Probably fine for comics too. I like that I can't watch videos on the damn thing.
