Don't leave out full color display by reflected environmental light -- or is that what "glow-lit" means?
- WalterBright 13y agoBy glow-lit, I mean using embedded LEDs to illuminate the e-ink display, such as the Nook, Paperwhite or Aura do. After using it for a while, I like it very much. It enables me to read comfortably in less-than-brightly-lit situations, which is most of the time.
- lutusp 13y agoOkay. I only mention environmental lighting because I have a GPS unit with a color reflective display -- in the field it's readable in direct sunlight, a great advantage. So I know it can be done. As to whether the display can be made beautiful and have the high resolution people expect, I don't know, but I suspect it's feasible.
