The colors in that video look like pastel colors. In other words they are washed out. That is probably the best an eInk screen can ever get to color, so meh! They will always look washed out and they will never look vibrant.

better than reading a traditional eink. I just salivate at the idea I can see an eink with different color highlights, the cover, and even some image. Using it as tablet under the sun, etc. Ok is not like a normal tablet, but double lcd/eink colors will arrive soonish

Yes - released seven years ago.

This sort of very slow, low-dpi display is best used for signage, not reading books. The use case for colour readers is mostly in scientific papers and textbooks, where a high-resolution display is needed in order to read small fonts and detailed figures/tables. That market is only well filled by tablets at the moment, and I can't see this display changing that.

ETA: And children's books - but the fragility of eink displays means tablets are best suited there also.

guys depends, when the flex OLED will hit the market. It promises a good level of not reflection and could make eink obsolete if is resting for the eyes

Perfect is the enemy of the good; enough with the prototypes, please release something I can buy. My Mirasol ereader from 5 years ago has died** and yet still no substitute available. I've tried the iPad and Samsung tablets but even the best LCDs and OLEDs still don't compare to it sunlight. If someone would simply graft that old mirasol display onto any basic recent chinese android tablet I would buy it in a heartbeat. It's frustrating that there's still no ~6" color ereader available

**it's been erased and I can't find the old firmware files to restore it to a usable state. It's still running on Android 2.2 base OS and support is long gone

isn't that impossible though ? E paper causes no eye strain because it operates with no light and reflect only ambient light just like a sheet of paper unlike Oled.

Great comment.

I have a JetBook Color which shows the the possibilities of color E-Ink displays. Unfortunately the device's OS is not that great.

I like the washed out look. It feels a little bit like old color newspapers. So E-Ink ... go for it.
