I
think this is the "most right" forum for this topic...
I would like to know more about how well e-ink screens displays images, and how much software and file formats matters.
I got into a discussion yesterday about displaying images on an e-ink devices - more specifically images and graphics that accompany fiction - for instance a map in a fantasy novel. It was suggested that e-ink displays (on a Kindle) are really poor for this, and one shouldn't bother. I agree that details may not show well, and that you really shouldn't bother too much with very small images; they have to be pretty close to full screen size. Also they have to be formatted with an e-ink display in mind; size-wise and quality-wise. But if they are, then I do think it's worth bothering.
My device is a Cybook Gen3 and I wondered if there might be differences in how well it displays images vs. a Kindle? (why the person I discussed it with were less positive about images on e-ink displays).

... I haven't found that the Kindle dithers very well, but then maybe I need to experiment more.

Since the Kindle and the Cybook has similar screens I wondered if there could be differences regarding the software? How does the mobipockets format handle images? Like jpg's in an html file?
