The color eink is a niche gimmick only good for comics that are like 1930s pulp quality.

The Boox website has unrealistic images.
Thanks Quoth. My issues arise from looking into a light source. I can't really read for a long time unless the light source is behind rather than in front of me. Matt screens definitely help, but they don't fix the issue. I suspected the Boox promotional images were somewhat optimistic - this is largely why I haven't bought one. It looks like I'll be sticking to an older, tried-and-tested technology for now, namely, paper print-outs.
