Hi, trying to learn about Snow field technology all I have found is this: "SNOW Field function caters for a partial refresh when simple text documents are onscreen, while keeping artifacts to a minimum."

My questions are, first of all, if this could improve the video experience eliminating some of the ghosting inherent to eInk previous to Snow field function. The reason to willing to watch video on eInk is I have severe eye straining problems and it is impossible for me to use a regular screen, so eInk is my only option (maybe RLCD also, but not willing to pay 1500€ for the first color backlight it is now in sale).

Another question is if there are other partial refreshing technologies in other brands. I think Kindle has some, but as it can't play videos nor install apps it is not an option for me.

Thanks

PD: I don't know if it exists, but Onyx or another brand should develop an algorithm like Snow field for playing videos whih detects the black areas of the fotograms and remove the ghosting ocurred there. Maybe this is what Snow field does, but I don't think so as the previous quoted description talks about "simple text".
