E Ink and their partners recently demoed some new products at this year’s SID Display Week, including a new 32″ solar powered E Ink poster called the Solis 32 Display. It uses E Ink’s full-color Spectra 6 technology, which is part of their digital signage line so it isn’t directly related to ereaders, but it’s […]

Gallery 3 Screens Look Surprisingly Bad Compared to Carta Screens
Over on reddit, someone posted side-by-side pictures of the new Remarkable Paper Pro (left) next to the Boox Go 10.3 with a Carta 1200 screen (middle) and the SuperNote A5X2 with Carta 1300 (right), and it’s hard to believe how much worse the Remarkable’s color screen looks compared to regular black and white E Ink […]
Gallery 3 Screen Comparison vs Kaleido 3 and Regular BW E Ink (Video)
Last week the Remarkable Paper Pro was released. It’s the first eNote to use E Ink’s Gallery 3 screen with actual colored micropixels instead of an RGB color filter layer like E Ink’s Kaleido screens. Color quality is better on Gallery 3 screens, but it looks like they still can’t match regular E Ink screens […]
Kobo Clara BW Carta 1300 Screen Comparison Video
Last week I posted about how the new Carta 1300 screen on the new Kobo Clara BW isn’t a worthwhile upgrade, at least not from a contrast standpoint, so I put together a video showing how it compares to other E Ink Carta screens. On the product page for the Clara BW, Kobo says it […]

Well, once again, I hate to break the news to you, but there’s no contrast improvement […]

Bigme Color E Ink Monitor Now Available on Amazon; You Won’t Believe the Price
Last fall Bigme launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for a 25.3-inch color E Ink monitor, along with an all-in-one PC with a color E Ink monitor, and as they’ve started shipping their Kickstarter orders, the new Bigme monitors are also available to order on Amazon now, and the prices are hard to believe. The […]
It’s Time for Color E Ink Screens to Go Mainstream
Some people won’t like to hear this, but I think this is going to be the year where we start to see a lot more ereaders and eNotes using color E Ink screens. Last year when I reviewed the Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C with the latest generation color E Ink screen, a Kaleido 3 […]
