Hi Piers I think Nexus 7 is for me, as (like many) I wouldn't want to read in direct sunlight anyway. I read that there is coloured e-Ink - maybe too expensive, or some technological reason, why it's not in a Color Kimble.
But I would like to see what comes out with Windows 8 on the ARM processor - soon, I believe. _____ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Piers Williams Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 6:08 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] Nexus 7 Definitely not up to eInk for direct sunlight, but it does do a lot more besides. Its a pity there's not some halfway house (eInk pulling their finger out on those color screens for example) The Kindle app on Android is just swipe-to-turn, but some of the 3rd party readers hyjack the volume buttons for this also, which I really like. Made me realise how useful those page turn buttons on a kindle are when reading one handed standing on a bus. (Also a pity Amazon doesn't make the kindle waterproof, they'd clean up at the beach, pool etc...)

I can't imagine it could compare with Kindle or other e-Ink devices in extremes of ambient light - but I would be interested in comments. _____ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
