I am only aware of one ereader that used anti-aliasing and that was a 212 DPI screen. If you looked at the screen with a magnifier when using a serif font, you could see the gray capsules around some edges of the glyph. It was also slower than most 6" ereaders at that time when turning pages. Sheesh... it's only been 14 years and I'm blanking out of the manufacturer.
Thanks! I was trying to figure out why I can use the old, non-updated Kindle but can't use newer e-readers or older ones that have been updated. I thought that it could have been connected to anti-aliasing, as some people get symptoms from looking at anti-aliased text. But if I've understood correctly, most e-readers (including the most recent ones) don't use anti-aliasing at all? Then my symptoms must be due to some other factor.
