Can Mirasol do a true white?
That would help a lot I'd think. An issue with e-ink is it's black on gray, so the contrast has to be really good to get good readability.
With a white background it wouldn't be so crucial I'd think. Or if you can invert it and have white text on black back ground. But of course I'd have to see it and read on it to know.
In any case, I'm interested in seeing what all these new screen techs can do. I think were still a handful of years away from having these new screens excel at reading and video etc. My next gadget will likely be something with an LCD screen with LED lighting like the iPad while I wait for the technology to mature on these new types of screens, since readability isn't my main concern.
