E-readers, e-books, and e-lucidation

[Sudy]

From the reviews I watched, sharpness and comfort should be the same, but contrast and brightness are less. This seems to be mitigated by just turning up the brightness though, so that's hardly a worry unless you're conserving battery. The filter is always physically present though, and it looked like there was a bit of a screen-door-like effect. But that may just have been up close, and even then I'm sure one would get used to it.

After re-watching a review I'm kind of second-guessing not getting the Clara colour edition. But again, I wasn't getting this thing to read comics on any way. If I want to do that I've got an older, larger tablet with much better colour representation. And the BW's display is just so gorgeous, I can't be disappointed in it. I'm excited to read for the first time in ages.

It must have been zoomed in and/or the result of extremely close analysis. In practice, I can't really see any 'screen door' effect or loss of clarity.

The black-and-white pages look as sharp as they do on my (retired) Kindle Paperwhite.

if you want, you can jailbreak the Kindle and install KOReader on it

as well as some other apps, including an 'interactive fiction' game player

(you can also install KOReader on the Kobo without any jailbreaking)

I learned from this video that the "Download & transfer via USB" option for the books in our Kindle library will no longer be available on February 26. I went ahead and downloaded my books.

Downloaded and removed the DRM on mine.

New Kindle jailbreak for those who might need/want it:

WinterBreak, based on Mesquito, requires the user to have a PC, to have registered their Kindle, and a WiFi connection to the internet.

Oops. Thanks. I had looked back a bit in the thread to see if it was already mentioned, but not far back enough.
