like all previous implementations of this technology, these non-back-lit reflective LCDs are simply less reflective than e-ink. More light reflects off the protective surface instead of making it to the text to reflect back to the viewer.

In the video, the shadow of the camera man reflecting off the reflective LCD is very apparent while it is absent on the e-ink screen. Evident darkening as the camera man moves closer to the screen can be seen with the LCD, while e-ink screen remains very uniformly well lit.
