Hi,

Playing with a pocketbook color epub reader (I just put some manuals on 
it):

- the colors are not bright enough, also not with lights on, why rgb and 
not cmyk (i only tested pdf)

- the viewer is buggy and freezes, color demands more mem i think, but 
after an upodate it got a bit better

- resolution not good enough (yet)

But we keep hoping ...

Hans

If I understand the tech right, it uses traditional e-ink pigments and a filter. The filter is subtractive, which means rgb, and that is also why it is not all that bright.

Best wishes,
Taco
