As far as I am aware, the DXG used an eInk Pearl display so the Carta display used in the InkPad Lite should have a definite advantage in the contrast ratio.

I meant with the lights on. With the same decent ambient light the PW3 and no front light has not much better contrast than the DXG because the light guide and the capacitive touch both reduce the brightness. Though those probably have little effect on actual contrast as the blacks also will be darker.

Exactly. They don't seem to know how to use comparatives.

Or same number of pixels as 10.3", but 300 dpi at about €250 for 7.8" Likebook Mars which auto crops PDFs.
The €220 approx 7" 300 dpi Kobo Libra is better than the Kindle DXG 9.7", which is same resolution screen as this, for PDFs. A 150 dpi is crazy low resolution. |

In addition, it fits exactly into the side compartment of my Windows tablet bag (Likebook Alita is a bit too wide for that). |

I still don't see why you or JSWolf make the leap to thinking they're comparing this eReader to the Inkpad X model. I read the blurb and thought they were comparing this "bigger" screen to eReaders that had "smaller" screens, like their Inkpad 3, 3 Pro and all their 6" readers (not to mention their competitors screens that are smaller). I don't think they're trying to deceive anyone. Why would they want to sell this reader at the expense of their more expensive Inkpad X?
That said, the specs for this reader are underwhelming and I'm not interested in a bigger reader anyhow. |
