: Re: Kindle Paperwhite VS Kobo Glo: Screen Contrast Comparison The two e-readers are almost evenly matched in the physical features department. The only variable left out is the quality of the screens.

EDITED TO CORRECT WRONG INFORMATION:

The question is between e-ink Pearl and Carta.

Here's some screenshots illustrating the difference:

As I pointed out already, the improvements with each generation of e-ink were significant in the naughts, but are less significant now.

Focusing too much on HW specs and not on human factors is a tendency that all geeks are sometimes guilty of.

BTW, e-ink displays are still great and affordable. People have always predicted that LED tablets will make e-ink irrelevant, but e-ink devices are still useful and affordable. (My only regret is that after the Nook Simple Touch, the vendors have eliminated hard buttons to turn the page). My main "usability" problem on my current Kindle Touch is that I accidentally tap on the surface to cause the page to advance...
