@Cthulhu

The contrast of an eInk screen is very dependent on the amount of available light.

It is quite normal for a trade show booth to have over 1.000 Watts of light available so the device will look it's best in those conditions.

AFAIK the Readius screen has the same specs. as the Iliad and Sony Reader with regard to contrast, so the better looking screen is purely due to the favorable lighting conditions.
