They cost between $500 to $5000 dollars per unit, and they are only capable of displaying low amount of color. For example the triton unit I link below which will cost $530 (instead of prototypes linked above) can do 4096 colors and 16 shades of gray. (in other words 4bit color, 6bit color can do 262,144 colors and most monitors sold are this good of color, 8 bit color can do 16,777,216 colors and this is what professional monitors are capable of, that and the ipad and nook color.)

Kindle or Nook and why? *NM* Francie - 23/06/2011 04:40:53 AM 779 Views
Kindle. callandor1000 - 23/06/2011 06:29:52 AM 741 Views

Nook Color MightyYT - 23/06/2011 07:06:35 AM 873 Views
Nook e-ink touchscreen. Doesn't have the idiocy of the Amazon DRM, and it's conveniently shaped. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 07:27:20 AM 393 Views
I am very interested in this one random thoughts - 23/06/2011 02:02:44 PM 804 Views
I used the one at Barnes and Noble, yeah. Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:32:19 PM 753 Views
It's awesome. I rarely use the physical buttons. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:35:36 PM 697 Views

Yeah, but the Amazon ebooks themselves have terrible DRM. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:33:56 PM 393 Views
but is the advantage of the Kindle? random thoughts - 23/06/2011 04:33:58 PM 750 Views

Paper, because there are some things that outweigh convenience. *NM* Macharius - 23/06/2011 03:55:06 PM 377 Views
Like nostalgic adherence to needlessly outdated media! Mmm... papyrus scrolls. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:37:08 PM 370 Views
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Macharius - 23/06/2011 05:48:27 PM 791 Views
+1 *NM* Yunalesca - 23/06/2011 06:19:34 PM 376 Views
there are advantages to the ebook format as well LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:05:41 AM 813 Views
Oh, definitely. Macharius - 24/06/2011 03:02:51 PM 828 Views
You did say you knew they were convienent LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:21:18 AM 884 Views
What a snobby and pretentious comment. Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:50:55 AM 372 Views
This, coming from someone who posts primarily to antagonize the member Republicans? *NM* Macharius - 24/06/2011 02:17:12 PM 373 Views
Conspiracy much? I hardly do that. *NM* everynametaken - 26/06/2011 06:29:28 AM 370 Views
Actually, his comment makes sense. Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:26:29 PM 748 Views
I'm sorry, but it does not make sense. LadyLorraine - 30/06/2011 02:02:14 AM 724 Views
Yes, you are correct. everynametaken - 02/07/2011 03:34:34 AM 801 Views
Not at all. *NM* everynametaken - 02/07/2011 03:30:15 AM 370 Views

I don't think it's accurate to say real books will never be obsolete. Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:16 AM 636 Views
Why did you even respond in this post? You contributed nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:53:00 AM 322 Views
Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? snoopcester - 24/06/2011 11:46:43 AM 717 Views
it's a never ending cycle of irrelevancy O.O LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:53:54 AM 623 Views
Re: Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? TaskmasterJack - 25/06/2011 01:51:04 AM 676 Views
because i like to remind people that e-books are bollocks? *NM* Yunalesca - 24/06/2011 04:11:07 PM 350 Views
what are your experiences that make you think so? *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:27:23 AM 361 Views
My goodness... Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:29:19 PM 775 Views
Y'know, normally I would agree... Wulf`gar - 29/06/2011 10:16:39 PM 1233 Views

I used to be like that... Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:33:04 PM 811 Views
Have you used an ereader for an extended period of time? *NM* Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:47 AM 338 Views
no, and i don't want too either Yunalesca - 25/06/2011 11:56:12 AM 650 Views
so basically.. LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 03:25:53 PM 689 Views
...I hope you have a child who refuses to try new foods. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 06:38:24 PM 326 Views
im never gonna have kids, your point is moot *NM* Yunalesca - 26/06/2011 12:39:49 AM 374 Views

man I wish I had the money to upgrade! LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:08:21 AM 622 Views
It is. They literally fixed EVERYTHING I had issues with in the 1st one. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:13:52 PM 636 Views
I chose Nook. everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:41:11 AM 957 Views
Amazon locking you into their format was one of the things that pushed me to the NOOK *NM* Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:30:23 PM 353 Views
Probably a good call- Borders has been circling the drain for a while *NM* beetnemesis - 29/06/2011 01:09:37 PM 349 Views
