jetBook Color for comics

So far I'm a bit disappointed with my jetBook Color - it's slow, the PDF reader is under-featured, and the screen is very low contrast unless you have plenty of sunlight or artificial light. However, there is a niche where I think it works quite well - comics (as long as the speech bubbles aren't too small). Based on this test I might re-subscribe to my favourite childhood comic, digitally of course. Finally, eink comics are here!

Yes the colours are muted compared with on an LCD (although the jetBook is a bit more saturated in real life than it looks in the photo) but I think it's good enough.

The page is taken from prog 1766 of 2000AD, a long standing British SF comic available from all good newsagents or at 2000adonline.com

PS Taken in sunlight especially for Ken Maltby
