Interesting, but I thought it was a little lazy. For something so focussed on the screen quality, and yet, no effort to even get the same font on all three.

Of course, with the font adjustments you have on Kobo and Kindle you can improve things. And the font adjustment on Era is just wholly inadequate and crude (Italic? Bold? really?). But you can always install a custom font to achieve the same result.

And some would say the PW5 falls short of Oasis in terms of screen quality, so that should have been included. (I just got Oasis 2, and really haven't developed an opinion myself.)

One thing that the video does well is point out the tradeoffs with anti-glare measures. Libra 2 seems to be at one extreme, PocketBook at the other, PW5 somewhere in between. It seems my Oasis 2 (like Libra 2?) has less anti-glare than PW5, which is less than Era. Era is more like PW4.

Whether the anti-glare measures are a plus or a minus depends on your typical reading environments. They all have sweet spots.

I also think that video cannot really capture real-life scenarios with fidelity. I take these with a grain of salt at least, cameras are filters and imperfect proxies of what human eyes actually perceive. And we don't typically read with studio lighting. So it can capture 'artifacts' that don't really happen in actual usage.

This lack of verisimilitude can be a plus if we are talking about making movies or taking photos. We can manipulate the lighting, camera placement and lenses, and apply any number of visual effects and editing to create a compelling experience. We really don't expect or want 'fidelity' except perhaps for security cameras and video depositions.
