It is a different 200 ppi E-Ink device. Perhaps you will like it better.

hahahaha...I was wondering if you were being facetious....but I did not want to be dismissive of your offering a helpful suggestion. If it helps...I did giggle, but then thought, "...what if he means it..." d'oh!!!
I might like it better since there was a thread a while back which discussed the contrast issue and that certain fonts gave the look of more contrast, even if there really wasn't a change. It seemed that the font and how the controller/OS renders it can have a significant affect on the perceived contrast.
I am hopeful something will change along the way. Whoever makes that happen is going to be veeeeery popular. Of course with our luck, their UI will be just awful...
My meaning right now is a device using the Pixel Qi display as a large format reader & multi-purpose device (I have an unlimited bandwidth 3G service, yup no bandwidth cap, and have a USB dongle so I can get the most out of use from either a convertible or a slate style device. To go with that I would like a 5" eink reader to drag around with me. The price is not yet where I am ready to say it's fine and I can just live with it, not when I already have perfectly serviceable small format devices in the nx73v and N800.
Anyway, thanks for the light hearted comment earlier, as I wrote, I did sense it was slightly tongue in cheek but laced with some facts as well...nicely done!
