I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

Why do you say that amoled is bezter for the eyes? Is that also true for b/w e-ink?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No, i think e-ink has it's place. But color e-ink is currently too much a tradeoff in everything else e-ink is strong, imo.

How so? Color eink has pretty much zero tradeoffs as far as i can tell, other than price.

Weak colors, so dark that you constantly need backlight...

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Weak colors yes, but normal eink has no colors, and what do you mean by "so dark that you constantly need backlight..."?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Look for comparison videos between the color e-ink technologies.

Oh, OK. I just assumed color e-ink was just like bw e-ink but with colors and was similar in other aspects
