I own a Note Air 2, and I have had numerous E-ink devices in the past. I fully agree with the posters who say that the Note Air 2's contrast with the front light off is not great. I bought the original Note which had no frontlight, and ended up selling it because the contrast was not good enough. However, with the frontlight on, I am quite satisfied with the Note Air 2. I have compared the Note Air 2's screen to that of the Nova 2 and the Nook Glowlight 4. The latter two have 300 dpi, while the Note Air 2 is 227 dpi. I have to look very closely to see differences in how the text looks. The front light in each has a slightly different warm/cool color mix.

My point is that with the frontliight on, the lesser contrast is not an issue for me.

It depends on how you want to use the device.
