What reason could there possibly be for that? Seriously, I can't think of anything that a capacitor or at most a memory change couldn't fix.

Bookeen has read my review and were surprised to hear me say, that the iLiads display was better than the CyBooks. According to their experience, it is the other way around. I will try to verify this, when i get my hands on another CyBook. Maybe my display is a bad one, which would mean, that even the bad ones are pretty good

And obviously they did not agree with my statement, that the CyBook is the secondbest on the market.

I'd say that my iLiad and Gen3's displays are pretty much on a par with one another. Neither clearly stands out as being better or worse.

Do you have a V1 or V2 iLiad? How do you compare the black and white faces of the devices. Do you see speckles? Do you think that fonts are crisper on the iLiad? I am curious to know.

It's a v1, but a late one (bought in August). Yes, I'd say that fonts are crisper on the iLiad (perhaps due to its 16 grey-scales), but the Gen3's background is "whiter" so it balances out. No, I don't see speckles on either device. Neither machine has any "ghosting" at all.

Interesting. I will have to compare it with another CyBook then.
