I'm thinking that far more work is being done on OLED displays - they have far more potential than eInk. Ok they need a bit more battery - but not much! COLOUR, SPEED, CONTRAST, EVEN RES.

I’m thinking that far more work is being done on OLED displays — they have far more potential than eInk. Ok they need a bit more battery — but not much! COLOUR, SPEED, CONTRAST, EVEN RES.

Adrian:

Totaly agree — eRead­ers need a sen­si­ble price point.

If they were £50 I would have bought 3! one for me, wife and son!

Why is eInk so expensive?

If they were £50 I would have bought 3! one for me, wife and son!

I used to say the same thing before I started reading on my Pocket PC. Thanks for the feedback. Bet once you try reading on a digtal device, you’ll change your mind about that.

E-readers are so not for me. I enjoy the old-fashioned freedom of flipping pages at my own leisure... Sigh…they couldn’t leave newspapers alone, now they have to do this with books as well?
