this goes way further than that.

Todays Kindles, Sony's, etc are perfect for reading books. Novels.

But if I wanted to read a magazine, or illustrated book, (I like quilt books, myself) this would be the perfect device.

None of these companies are actively promoting solid numbers at the present time.
From their white papers, it seems that it is <1mw for hold state, and <30mw for active display like video as estimated in mobile phone display size.

I think the most pessimistic estimates came from an earlier report from Liquavista that suggest it being a little more efficient than backlit LCD when rendering 6-bit grayscale at video speeds.

They're not perfect if you do anything quickly. That's why I'm excited about faster options. Even for novels, it'll improve my experience dramatically from what current e-ink provides.

But yes, the potential is much greater with more diverse media. Absolutely.

I really doubt that liquavista and mirasol are compareable in terms of energy consumption. They are two completely different technologies. Mirasol is primarily mechanical, liquavista not.

Huh? I'm talking about a Liquavista whitepaper that compared the power draw from EWD to EPD, LCD, and OLED as well as IMOD. Their estimate of IMOD was pessimistic. I said nothing about the technologies being equivalent.

Sorry, got it wrong - english is not my primary language. I didn't expect that Liquavista would publish such an estimate without exact knowledge about the development stage of Qualcomm's MEMS.
