Yes, the changes look exciting, but I'm holding out for a better screen too, primarily because of how black-and-white text looks.
Isn't that a problem on the Kindle, which has an even lower resolution? (I've never seen one in the wild here in Europe). I'd love a 200ppi Kindle, but maybe such a high pixel density is unnecessary with e-ink?
- bryanlarsen 16y ago"maybe such a high pixel density is unnecessary with e-ink?" That's right. E-ink pixels are not square, don't have gaps, and don't use three colour pixels to create white. A higher pixel density with e-ink would be nice, but isn't as necessary as it is with LCD. http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=2722 http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=2722
- rflrob 16y agoIn my experience, the Kindle resolution is sufficient to be like printed text. My guess is that because it's black and white only, you don't need to worry about the sort of sub-pixel font rendering that LCD's do.
- zacharycohn 16y agoThe kindle screen doesn't need a higher resolution - the way the e-ink is displayed it makes reading a breeze.
