My observations - K2 vs. KDX graphite...(pics) - Page 2

My feedback..for what its worth

I have two Sony 505's, two Kindle 1's and a Sony 300. I also have two Ipads.

The DXGraphite is amazing, The screen actually looks white and the contrast is phenominal. I never thought anything could look as good as my 505 screens. This is superior. This thing is as close to real paper/ink as a B&W reader is going to get.

If you look at the OP's pics you can clearly see the difference vs the older versions. In person the difference is even more striking.

One thing I do enjoy about the Ipad was the screen size and getting so much text on a single page. The 6 inch readers seemed tiny after using the Ipad. The DXG gives me a incredible screen with the size I like.

If you can swing the cash I recommend it to any fan of eink.

Decided to keep the KDXg.

Now, just wishing someone would design a metal enforced screen protected case.

One can dream.

I have my DXG protected in an Oberon Purple Sun case. (grins)

Love the DXG. I can easily see using it when traveling. I normally carry a back pack or a carry on that is large enough to hold the DXG. The contrast is great and the screen size is perfect.

I upgraded from a K1 to the DXG so I have no idea how many font sizes that are on the K2 but the DXG seems to have a lot more font sizes then then K1 did.

Thanks for posting the pics. Was debating the K3 as I have the non-gsm k2 and decided that the new screen would be worth taking a look at!
