As an avid reader, the sony reader is perfect for what I need. I do not need color or video on my reader device. I only need clarity and long battery life, both things are offered with eInk devices.

Hey Andrew,

I understand the purpose of eInk. But why would anyone want a device that only does that when you could get something like the Pixel Qi that merges the two ideas. I know there is a market for pure text reading, but for a device to be wildly successful people will want the full color, video enabled dynamic content the internet had gotten them accustomed to. Check this out:

Seems like a much better solution that eInk.

Thanks for the response!

Love your iPhone stuff, but I am not sure you remotely get what eReaders are about. Why on earth would we want video on them? Even colour is not necessary unless you are reading comic or picture books. Think you might be confusing eReaders with tablet devices – they are completely different animals.

Neither refresh rate nor lack of colour are the market killers you predict.

Stick to programming… leave the hardware analysis to folks who know what they are talking about
