Kobo announces its first color e-readers
Yeah, sadly a good color e-ink screens seems like one of those techs that is always a couple years away. It seems like maybe the demand just isn’t there for R&D with everyone having large form factor phones these days.
I thought e ink was just in patent hell with only one company developing it and charging high fees on everything they can related to it and they aren’t that good at r&d but they are good at milking something for all its worth
Sorry, I haven’t made the jump into an e reader of my own yet, so I may be missing something, but could the same not be said for phones and B&W e readers? Phones can basically do everything an e reader can on its face, but there’s still a niche to be filled by e readers, so I’m not sure lack of demand would exactly be the problem?
I thought color DES was decent?
