Wrong. The pattern on the board tricks your brain into thinking they're not the same color.

Save the image and use an eye-dropper (color picker) tool in something like Paint.NET, GIMP or Photoshop (or MS Paint at a pinch). They are the same color.

No the pattern on the board is diagonal black and diagonal white. The B is on a white diagonal.

I'm not really writing this. The other posts in this thread tricks your brain into thinking that a monkey is writing words in this space.

She called me up to tell me how happy she was with it,
plus she was surprised how fast she could read on it.

She just thinks it's fast. The reality is that her Kindle is sending out Kindle Rays which trick her brain into thinking she's reading faster.

I was surprised she took to it so quickly, I gave her about
a 15 minute lesson on how to use it and off she went.


For 81 she is doing great.

Each of the "diagonal black" and the "diagonal white" are not all the same brightness. The shadow from the green cylinder is part of the confusion factor.

I'm calling shenanigans on this one
