This makes 0 difference if you are only reading text. You will only see a difference when viewing graphics. the text will be rendered at the darkest gray level the machine can produce.

I can't speak about this specific device. But, I can say that many readers that support 6,8,10 formats don't usually support all of them very well. You are much better off getting a reader that works VERY well with 1 format because converting from one format to another is pretty simple thanks to calibre.
