What Customers Say About Electronic Ink Display
"I love how the screen really looks like a page, because I do work at a computer all day, and the last thing I want to look at is another screen."—Amy P
"I found the contrast to be soothing and I was able to read in direct sunlight with no glare."—M. H.
The ereaders using e-ink of display tend to be lower priced models and are rather basic with less features than higher end ereaders such as the Kindle, nook. The Apple iPad, which uses a very high quality LCD display, have no doubt led to several companies launching LCD-based ereaders.

E-ink display technology is also still slower than an LCD display when refreshing pages – as when navigating menu and library screens and turning pages while reading. If you mainly want to read novels and other books that have limited graphics then go with an e-ink ereader. If you want multimedia and to read magazines and other graphic-rich content then a color LCD screen begins to make more sense.
