In any case, I think it's best to hold judgment on the jetBook's screen until you've seen and compared it to e-ink in person. I have, and it's not "old" technology. Epson controller sounds very promising, though, and might close the gap in delays, etc.
Some of the things in the Sony colum refer to the 500 and some things refer to the 505. The Kindle side should be all Vizplex and Vizplex does not ghost. I'm not judging the Jetbook's screen at all. I'm baing my comments on Ectaco shady business practices like the comparison chart. That chart is so full of lies and misinformation, it's not funny. This is what I call a shady business practice. They should take that chart down.
