What's the point of color e-ink if the screen is so dark that you need to keep the front light on all the time?
Worse. What's the point of releasing Dante's Inferno "With paintings" if you're gonna grayscale them? This is a literal physical book release.
>>100181569that's not a "painting", it's an engraving by the famous Gustave Doré
>>100181569so you can enjoy the illustration and not have to pay double the cost due to the publisher having to utilize a new more expensive printing option.
>>100181487Are you retarded? I have a Kobo Libra 2. All you need to do is swipe/drag on the left side of the screen. Its backlight is pretty good as it can go from being non-existant like paper to being as bright as a phone. Plus its battery life is also amazing so, assuming you have it turn off after a while, you can go weeks without charging. As far as color goes, besides looking at covers, color e-ink is only useful if you reading anything that isn't your standard novel like comic books or a pdf graphic.
>>100181871>He doesn't knowColor e-ink (kaleido 3) has absolute shit contrast because of the additional color layer on top of the screen, making reading or seeing anything a pain in the ass unless you're in direct sunlight, so you're just gonna have to use the front light most of the time
>>100181487what's the point of reading if most modern fiction is full of emotional romance sex fantasies for femcels
>>100181487There is none, current color eink sucks balls.Literal LCD color filter layer on top of b/w eink kek
My 2016 kindle is dying and I'm looking for a new e-reader. Should I just get "eBook Reader Amazon Kindle 2022, Display 6" 300 ppi, USB Type C, Denim"? It costs $150 in my shithole but seems to be the only good option. Can I upload pirated ebooks to it like I could with my old kindle?We don't have many brands. I think those are the only ones we have that are worth mentioning:>Amazon kindle>Kobo>PocketbookThey're all about $150 except "eBook Reader PocketBook Basic Lux 4 PB618" which I assume is dogshit.
>>100182678do more research until you understand what you're asking
>>100182716are you ok, kid?
>>100182772i'm fine
>>100182779nah, you're seething
>>100181970You can read the classics like an actual man.
>>100181487You can view it in sunlight.
Libra 2 or Libra Color?Is 7" so much better than a 6" screen?I just want to read books on a decent screen...
>>100181487>Color E-inkI wouldn't buy any current gen e-ink color displays right now because they all suck. Maybe wait 2 or 4 years and see if anything changes.
>>100181569This is called a woodcut and they are always monochromatic.
To read outside. I highly recommend it for that.At night you have to turn on the light either way.
>>100181994There's nothing LCD about it.
>>100181871it's doesn't make sense for a ebook to have backlight, you're confused
>>100183375Japanese made colorful woodblock prints.
>>100181487go outside nigga
>>100182678Boox has gotten fairly relevant in the past years.It really depends on what you want to read and what other uses you have.Kobo Clara BW is likely going to be a good entry level option.
>>100183375uh no anon thats a book???
>>100185463it's a photo of a book, silly
>>100185416thanks, I didn't mention it ITT but I did end up ordering a Kobo Clara BW.
>>100181599 <<100181602 <<100183375Ah. I learned something today. Thank you for that. I did end up finding the translated version digitally but without the prints. But yeah, to get back ontopic, Eink screens are a meme for comics.
>>100187781>Eink screens are a meme for comics.Do you have any real arguments?
>>100188061Give me an argument in favor of color eink. To me the benefits of eink are long battery life, and a reading-like experience. The benefits of digital books are customizable, weight, price, uniformity, ease of access, dictionary, easy marking, backups, searchable. There's hardly any downside to reading books thusly (can you name them?) Now eink color is a contradiction in terms. The technology isn't there. The usecase could only be on content that is fully color. So comics (if speaking of the benefits of such a technology) And I don't see the benefits then, not compared to HDR/OLED.
>>100188106>The usecase could only be on content that is fully color.It works just fine with content that only have sparse colors such as Japanese comics or all sorts of pdf. The only thing you lose out on is the customizability and even there you have more flexibility than print by displaying double or half pages. Markup greatly benefits from being able to distinguish colors.Compared to LCD/OLED you have far better readability in natural light.The problem I see with the new Kobos is that they aren't big enough.
>>100181970what's the point of gfs if they're not FOSS?
>>100188224>just fineNot an argument. The question is not whether something is functional. The question is whether something has a usecase.>sparse colorsJust a regular ereader would be better in that case, color eink would be only beneficial if the majority of the time it displayed color eink content>markup benefits from different colorsNo it doesn't. You've got 4 colors already.>far better readability in natural lightBut with shitty washed out colors.
>>100181487It's RGB, it needs to be YMC.
>>100188768What exactly does a b&w ereader offer aside from being brighter and slightly cheaper? Having colors adds a lot of options.I've used one for a year now. The colors being washed out isn't a problem, what's relevant is that you can identify them.
>>100188890>The colors being washed out isn't a problemFor you>what's relevant is that you can identify them?
>durr why doesn't a really smart etch a sketch produce oled quality graphics
>>100188952If you have a diagram with different colored bars, it doesn't matter exactly what shade of blue, red or green it is, it matters that they aren't all mapped to the same shades of grey.
