If you want the LCD screen/tablet to do other stuff, get an iPad or a similar knock off, but for god sakes stop calling it a eReader....]]>Jul 15th 2010 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/
I completely agree. If it does not have a variation of e-ink or an improved version of it, it's not an ereader. It's like saying my cell phone, laptop, netbook, wristwatch, are all e-readers. The reason for having an ereader is to enjoy reading, not burn your eyes.]]>Jul 15th 2010 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/
Let me say that I own a Kindle, so you don't have to convince me of how great e-ink is, but I can (and do) view a LCD screen for hours and hours straight without taking any sort of break - And a lot of that involves actively reading text.]]>Jul 15th 2010 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/
Sure you can read on an LCD screen for a full day and be fine.. but that doesn't mean it is comfortable. It's like wearing sunglasses on a really sunny day at the beach. Sure you can survive the day without them but it is much more comfortable to have them on.]]>Jul 15th 2010 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/
Yeah I was same as you. However, I totally changed my mind after I tried Kindle DX. It is not about how long you can see the screen, it is about how well you can concentrate on the book.

When I tried book on my laptop i could not continue over 15 min, I easily get distracted. On my Kindle DX, I find myself stick with book for 2 hour straight without distraction.

I point is you not gonna have problem with LCD when you are reading blog and Website like Engadget. However, you will see the problem with LCD when you try to read 900page reference book.]]>Jul 15th 2010 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/
A guy randomly asked me about my Kindle in a restaurant yesterday and said he was also considering an ipad. I told him that for reading, I couldn't imagine using a backlit LCD screen.

Having used e-ink now, I think I'm looking forward to a higher contrast, higher resolution next iteration rather than one that has a high refresh rate or does video or something like that. ]]>Jul 15th 2010 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/
I want an even better black and white display first. Higher contrast (i.e., whiter background), higher resolution (the 800*600 for the Kindle is almost there) and maybe slightly faster page turns.

It will be awhile before I would replace my Kindle, but these are the developments I expect when I eventually do.]]>Jul 15th 2010 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Color eInk exists already. The problem is that it cuts down the resolution and contrast.]]>Jul 15th 2010 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/Jul 15th 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/elonex-710eb-color-e-reader-gets-cheeky-price-bump-available-fo/
