I’ve been testing the Notion Ink Adam’s Pixel Qi display in various lighting conditions to see how it compares to E Ink and other types of LCD displays.

Notion Ink Adam Video Review and First Impressions
I finally received my Notion Ink Adam yesterday after being one of the unlucky 5.31% that pre-ordered on December 9th and then got delayed all the way until mid-February. I’ve been testing the Notion Ink Adam all day yesterday and today to see how it handles. I put together a video walkthrough and posted some […]

Review: Cruz Reader with Kindle App and Android 2.0
Here’s the link to the Cruz Reader/Tablet review that I posted earlier today, which includes a hands-on ten minute video walkthrough. The review is also a beginners guide of sorts for getting started with apps and Android on the Cruz Reader if you need help learning how things work. Certain to cause confusion because they […]
Review of the Nook Color Industriell Cover
One of the hidden costs of buying a new ereader like the Nook Color is that most don’t come with any kind of cover or sleeve to keep them protected. I forgot to get a cover when I first ordered the Nook Color and was literally using an old stocking cap as a makeshift sleeve […]
