I agree. That was a big problem for me at first being so used to E Ink. The text grays at the edges and looks fuzzy because of the pixels, unlike with E Ink where the text is all uniformly the same color.

My problem was that I was holding the iPad too close. The farther away it is the better the text looks, and now I read with it on my lap at arms length away so I can't see the pixelization of the text.

I've tried the various reading apps and I seem to notice it more in iBooks because of the spindly fonts; they need to be bolder IMO. It doesn't seem as bad with the Kindle app because its font is better but it's still noticeable--the pixels are kind of large on the iPad and there's nothing to do about that. Resolution, man. Resolution.

I'm surprised that more people haven't brought this topic up.
