RG BW (red, green, blue, white) overlay, so that four of the greyscale pixels go to make up one colour pixel. So the colour pixel resolution is half that of the B&W resolution. 100dpi instead of 200dpi. |

The standard way to measure battery life used to be the number of page turns. Which was also exaggerated by the makers, but at least made more sense than the number of days, weeks or months.

Not really. The battery life is consumed by both page turn and constant background demands. If you want the most page turns, you keep turning them as fast as you can until the battery dies to grab a bigger piece of the juice for that. If you want the longest time, you don't turn any pages and let the battery be consumed entirely by the background needs of the operating system and hardware. You need both pieces of information to get something closer to the whole picture. However, since no one can read at the fastest page turn speed, and most people probably don't average many pages per day, the time to drain the battery without page turns is probably more applicable. I know it is for me, as I don't read anything like thousands of pages on my devices between recharges.

That google translation is a pain to read... Then again, it makes me happy to see that speaking multiple languages is not yet a useless skill!

much, much better screens! The initial ones made a horrible impression!
Definitely sharp and colorful images. I think the B&W patented "e-ink" days are over. |
