Awesome. I can’t wait till they finally get the digital manga kicks off. I was just talking about this with another manga fan the other day about how nice it would be to be able to read manga on-the-go without carrying inches thick of manga books. I will keep a close eye on this one for sure.

Thanks for the link. It had a lot of interesting information.

I wish I could afford to buy the hardware to test these things myself. Both the Sony and the Kindle, I would love to be able to test them with my scans and see them in person, but being where I am, I can’t and have to rely on others/screenshots. Someday though…. I am more optimistic now, after that link.

You are comparing a backlighted LCD-screen to eink. And a screenshot even…
On pictures the eink display will look bad, because it’s nearly impossible to make a picture of it that does the screen credit.

But you have to see it in real life. Here’s some nice comparison of the eink display vs the real deal

That is with the old prs500, the newer PRS505 which I own has better contrast.
