Color E-readers a hit at book fair, to be sold like handsets

[disciprine]

agree with the others. There is no debate. ignorant comments like that don't bode well for your media outlet.

[SeizureBassist]

@disciprine Yeah this "media outlet" doesn't know what there talking about. When you looking at an lcd the screen is constantly refreshing epaper doesn't refresh until the page changes or something else does on the screen does.

How is there a debate? The first time you pick a e-paper display you will understand the difference for reading. LCDs are good for most things they are already used for, they just lacked at reading. They are inherently unsuitable for it.

To me it boils down to this:

Maximum service and productivity

vs

advancement in battery technology. Air quotes around the word advancement.

Energy will soon be made much more expensive. Tragically.

I have, do, and ever will advocate a hand-crank/dynamo peripheral for energy-efficient tablets such as this, allowing the purchaser to recharge a (preferably) recondition-able battery.

E-ink tech, OLED tech, all-flash memory and charging options should be the standards at present.

imho

"There is still a debate on whether e-paper is better for your eyes than LCD screens" - really? I thought it was proven pretty well that e-paper is easier on the eyes, otherwise nobody would buy it.

"The should make"?

They are already on the market.

They should make both versions and let the people decide which is better.
