Which readers now have a pearl ink model??
From what I can tell, it is just Kindle and Sony. Is this correct?

I'm a bit puzzled. I've often seen the Sony's display being referred to as being pearl ink, however, according to my PRS-650's About page: "You are reading this on an E Ink® Vizplex TM display." Also, I don't seem to be able to find any reference to pearl in the User Guide. So, where does the reference pearl originate from? Could someone clarify this point, please?

The Reader Touch Edition uses high contrast E Ink® Pearl technology on its anti-glare touch screen to deliver an amazing, paper-like display that's more like ink on paper and fully readable in direct sunlight.

Pearl screens are also Vizplex e-ink screens. Just a new type of screen.

You're welcome. The technology is owned by the E-Ink Corp and they're the ones who came up with the name.

Thanks for the interesting link, too.
