So comparing the new Kindle DX with the original when it first launched really isn’t a good comparison.Ī good comparison would be between a brand new Vizplex screen and the Sony PRS-350, since the Kindle uses Amazon’s proprietary “waveform and font technology” that seems to account for just as much of the contrast increase as the actual screen itself. To make things interesting, it appears that the newer Vizplex screens are better than the ones they were using a year or two ago. Here’s a close-up picture of the two next to each other from the PRS-350 review. Take the Kindle 3 and new Sony Pocket.Įven though they both use the new Pearl screens, the contrast on the Sony Pocket doesn’t appear as good because Amazon’s font is bolder.
The type of font an ereader uses makes a big difference as well. The Nook, for instance, appears to have a slightly whiter background than other devices.
Despite the fact that all the screens come from the same manufacturer, E Ink, there seems to be subtle differences in appearance from ereader to ereader.
