Yesterday E Ink issued a press release about the release of their new Kaleido Plus color screens and how they improved them from last year’s first generation version.

Are You Bothered By Your eReader’s Screen Flashing?
People often ask about screen flashing when they get a new ebook reader that uses an E Ink screen, like a Kindle, Kobo, or Onyx ereader. The flashing is totally normal, but I can see how it might be jarring at first for someone that has never seen an E Ink screen before. The flashing […]
Color E Ink is Getting Better But There’s Still a Problem (Video)
Pocketbook just released a new 7.8-inch ereader called the Pocketbook InkPad Color with a supposedly “better” color E Ink screen, and now that I’ve gotten my hands on one, I can see that E Ink did indeed improve their color Kaleido screen technology on this new model.

Apparently it’s the latter. According to E […]

Yesterday I posted a review of E Ink’s new color screens that have started appearing on a few new ereaders such as the Onyx Poke2 Color and PocketBook Color. Ever since these new color ereaders have started coming out, people have been hoping that a color Kindle would be coming out soon too, but now […]
