PWM is not the issue as my eyes have been burning while using monitors for over 20 years. I realize that using eink has many limitations, including watching videos, but the bottom-line question is: For everyday tablet related tasks like reading/replying to email, watching video clips on YouTube, and surfing the web ... would Kaleido-3 color 13.3" eink device give a better overall experience vs. a B&W 13.3" eink device?

* B&W screens may be WORSE because text/images may be hard to read/see as Red-text on a Green-background both have a similar greyscale.
* B&W screens may be BETTER because the background is lighter (because of not having the color filter array on top of it), such the contrast is better to view black text oh a white background.
* B&W screens may be BETTER because it is less likely to need the frontlight because of the better contrast.
