    this is really cool! is it easier on the battery?

    my favorite feature of the nook (was it the nook?) was the e-ink screen and how vastly superior it was for reading. I’m not sure the science behind it (because I read an article on here once that blue light doesn’t actually affect much) but I can’t read for long periods on an led screen, it hurts my eyes and it’s harder for me to focus

      no, this is just a more sunlight readable backlit LCD with some colour filtering and processing to appear more paper like.

      it requires constant power unlike e-ink and the only way they can claim it saves power is because it requires less backlight brightness to be sunlight viewable.
