What color e-ink readers are out there for sale

Heba · 04-10-2014, 04:10 AM

I only only Jetbook and Pocketbook. Are there any others?

Thanks.

All the current ones use the eInk Triton screen, which really isn't very good. The colours are faded and "washed out". It's not a "real" colour screen, but simply a colour mask on top of a normal B&W eInk screen. The mask has the effect of halving the linear resolution.

I really wouldn't bother with it.

As I've understood it it's quite difficult. We have a member "Gamba66" here who imported a Hanvon 920. Maybe you can contact him and ask for the details how he did it.

Isn't the Hanvon the same hardware as the Jetbook? (not sure about the software)

I think they have the same hardware, but I want Hanvon cause it has a web browser.
