I've been looking at both the Aluratek Libre and the Kobo Reader and I just have a few questions before I decide if I want to get either of them.

I don't know much about it, but from what I understand between the differences between E-Ink and Reflective LCD, is that E-Ink is less power consuming, but other than that from what I've read the Reflective LCD displays better contrast, doesn't have that annoying page blackout and is cheaper then E-Ink. Which brings up the argument of seemingly the Reflective LCD has more advantages over E-Ink, why isn't it used more than E-Ink then?

Am I missing some of the advantages and disadvantages here?
