I wouldn't say the KDXG rivals a printed book just yet, but it is marked improvement over the KDX and any other e-ink reader on the market (even the legendary Sony PRS-505). Blacks are much blacker and the e-ink is very clean. I've posted a short first look and some 100% macro crop photos of the KDXG and nook and IREX DR800SG here:

I really, really don't need another eReader, but this is tempting
