Hello,
I've to check and compare that, too.
This was my opinion and personal experience from a lot of time ago, since I had my Sony PRS-505. People have explained many times, both visually and technically, that this is not.. but my opinion remains.
E-Ink screens with more grey levels, have a darker brackground and different contrast than those older and only 4 gray-levels (like Hanlin V3), and for reading, older are better (more black/white difference). This is clear for me after a single look. We must don't take in account the different and protective or touch layers; this results in same readers and E-Ink screens in totally different results... curiously, this results in more cheap and less quality build ereaders (like, we must say, Jinke ones, that have other advantages, but not build quality or design) to show and read better.
I don't have V5 or V3+ to compare, but hope I can do it in future.
Best regards.
