I didn't pay much attention to the particular LCD screen of Dr. Yi, and most LCD readers are backlit which causes eye-tiring. I didn't know Dr. Yi's LCD is implemented differently, but by just glancing at the demo picture they posted, the screen contrast doesn't look good, not sure if it is just the photo or the real LCD issue. But it's an interesting find. Still, I will opt for an iPad if I can stand such low battery performance. How does Dr. Yi's screen perform in outdoor lights? I am interested in still looking for an alternative screen technology to e-ink. The nook has the best screen contrast among all the e-ink devices that I have seen, but still, the background "paper" is not as white as I wish and the foreground font "ink" is not as black as I would like. It's a marketing hype to say e-ink screen is paper-like, to my eyes, the cheapest paperback look better than the best current generation e-ink screens. It does look Dr. Yi's LCD offers an interesting alternative, but judging from the picture on the linked site, the contrast looks very poor.
