My thoughts exactly.
But the only real advantage of the first line/batch of displays will be the 3 operation modes. (color,B/W, low power color)
(IMHO that's already a huge step forward).
For their power saving features to work, OEM's will have to redesign MB and display controllers. That is going to take a while.
So I was just saying that with the first batch of 10 inch screens there will be no difference in terms of power consumption.
(eventually) all else being equal I'd go with a PQ display.
OTOH, even at that point I think PL readers will have the advantage on things like power consumption, durability, and readability.
I personally stop caring about power consumption once I reach all-day computing.
But who am I kidding, I'd just miss the pleasure of hitting my reader with a shoe. (morning news would never be the same...)
