After all my posts in various threads trying so hard to convince everybody that dithered black and white is the ONLY way to go for eink video, it is nice to see things like gnuboy and this video player finally using these improved methods.

We can leave gray pixels to those nice anti-aliased static text pages, and keep using dithered black and white for video just like this.

I am still waiting for VNC showing live desktop PC video using dithered black and white, without the full-flash grayscale updates like the "flashy" YouTube kindle VNC video in the VNC thread. *Somebody* needs to add the dithered video drivers to VNC...

And since I got my first kindle, I wanted to use it as a sunlight-viewable video display for FPV video: http://vimeo.com/14217619

Or the ascii version: http://asciimeo.com/14217619

Thanks guys!
