Question What color e-ink readers are out there for sale

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.
