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 935 Views
Kindle. callandor1000 - 23/06/2011 06:29:52 AM 998 Views

Nook Color MightyYT - 23/06/2011 07:06:35 AM 1137 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 515 Views
I am very interested in this one random thoughts - 23/06/2011 02:02:44 PM 1038 Views
I used the one at Barnes and Noble, yeah. Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:32:19 PM 1005 Views
It's awesome. I rarely use the physical buttons. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:35:36 PM 961 Views

Yeah, but the Amazon ebooks themselves have terrible DRM. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:33:56 PM 512 Views
but is the advantage of the Kindle? random thoughts - 23/06/2011 04:33:58 PM 1007 Views

Paper, because there are some things that outweigh convenience. *NM* Macharius - 23/06/2011 03:55:06 PM 508 Views
Like nostalgic adherence to needlessly outdated media! Mmm... papyrus scrolls. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:37:08 PM 488 Views
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Macharius - 23/06/2011 05:48:27 PM 1043 Views
+1 *NM* Yunalesca - 23/06/2011 06:19:34 PM 496 Views
there are advantages to the ebook format as well LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:05:41 AM 1086 Views
Oh, definitely. Macharius - 24/06/2011 03:02:51 PM 1081 Views
You did say you knew they were convienent LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:21:18 AM 1151 Views
What a snobby and pretentious comment. Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:50:55 AM 505 Views
This, coming from someone who posts primarily to antagonize the member Republicans? *NM* Macharius - 24/06/2011 02:17:12 PM 506 Views
Conspiracy much? I hardly do that. *NM* everynametaken - 26/06/2011 06:29:28 AM 502 Views
Actually, his comment makes sense. Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:26:29 PM 985 Views
I'm sorry, but it does not make sense. LadyLorraine - 30/06/2011 02:02:14 AM 979 Views
Yes, you are correct. everynametaken - 02/07/2011 03:34:34 AM 1069 Views
Not at all. *NM* everynametaken - 02/07/2011 03:30:15 AM 510 Views

I don't think it's accurate to say real books will never be obsolete. Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:16 AM 903 Views
Why did you even respond in this post? You contributed nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:53:00 AM 438 Views
Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? snoopcester - 24/06/2011 11:46:43 AM 1001 Views
it's a never ending cycle of irrelevancy O.O LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:53:54 AM 887 Views
Re: Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? TaskmasterJack - 25/06/2011 01:51:04 AM 916 Views
because i like to remind people that e-books are bollocks? *NM* Yunalesca - 24/06/2011 04:11:07 PM 475 Views
what are your experiences that make you think so? *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:27:23 AM 482 Views
My goodness... Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:29:19 PM 1039 Views
Y'know, normally I would agree... Wulf`gar - 29/06/2011 10:16:39 PM 1498 Views

I used to be like that... Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:33:04 PM 1098 Views
Have you used an ereader for an extended period of time? *NM* Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:47 AM 463 Views
no, and i don't want too either Yunalesca - 25/06/2011 11:56:12 AM 926 Views
so basically.. LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 03:25:53 PM 926 Views
...I hope you have a child who refuses to try new foods. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 06:38:24 PM 451 Views
im never gonna have kids, your point is moot *NM* Yunalesca - 26/06/2011 12:39:49 AM 503 Views

man I wish I had the money to upgrade! LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:08:21 AM 873 Views
It is. They literally fixed EVERYTHING I had issues with in the 1st one. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:13:52 PM 891 Views
I chose Nook. everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:41:11 AM 1204 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 487 Views
Probably a good call- Borders has been circling the drain for a while *NM* beetnemesis - 29/06/2011 01:09:37 PM 477 Views
