That is not a good news. I've heard about it, but so far, I have only used Clara HD and the side lighting is ok. I will try to find some videos etc. on the net though.
Thank you for pointing this out!

I am not sure I would mind this much though. I don't know... I assume there is no way to do side lighting evenly on such a large screen.

I don't think I have many choices when it comes to more text on an e-reader screen.

I've researched the e-ink resolution and sadly we have a bottleneck at 300 PPI density. AFAIK no commercial device sports better density. That is why color resolution is so bad on e-readers. One color pixel requires three physical pixels and on a 300 PPI screen this gets us down to 100 PPI density of color display. That's not too good, but it's good to know
