Text sharpness and darkness of Nova Pro

[ilyasson]

Hi,

I've heard that the flush screen costs some sharpnes/darkness of text for Nova Pro.

Can users say something about this? Is it OK or problematic? For example, when you compare with PW, text are sharper or not?

Thanks

- In my opinion, "Nova Pro" screen looks a lot like the "Kindle Oasis" screen. Maybe they look like, because they use the glass-screen on it, I do not know, it remains to be verified.
* In any case, the screen is not worse than WP.

- Onyx Nova has 300@dpi anyway.
*300 dpi is still the maximum that we can meet on regular readers.

- The font is distinctive and black is really black.

- In addition, you can change the contrast in the settings.
* Possibility to configure contrast according to your preferences

Spoiler:

- I don't know if you can see the difference in the photo, but the "BOOX Nova Pro" has a little better contrast
"Nova Pro" vs "Inkpad 3" :
* BOOX Nova Pro is a little cleaner. But inkpad 3 is more similar to paper.

Spoiler:

- I do not see the problem with the color files.
*For example a komix in color or Nova Pro:

Thank you for this photo-reply!

But to be honest, pics don't seem promising. Possibly, it is about pics, not the device...

A side-by-side photo with PW would be better, I guess. I really like PW's crispness and darkness of the text but, you know, it's a nightmare to read pdf on it. That's why I want a 7.8" device but rumors about the screen quality really prevent me

- Yes I understand, it is difficult to judge the quality on an photo-image.
- I use Kindle Oasis almost 1 years and I can assure you that BOOX Nova Pro has better contrast.
* To have a good image, is not only "contrast", but also the "Shades of gray" (I advise you not choose less as x16)

- After, maybe "Kobo Forma" or Apple Ipad 2018 (color) can be a solution for you. It depends on your requirements

I'd be interested to know how does additional layer for pen affect contrast in comparison to regular Nova. Does anyone have or had both readers?
