    Post Colour eReader/e-book by Qualcomm/Mirasol

    http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/q...to-be-on-trac/

    It’s O-Led, by the look of things, which isn’t strictly e-ink of any kind … and thus kind of puts it out of eReader suitability.
    The problem for me being eye strain.

    Don’t get me wrong, I read comic books on my laptop, it’s the ideal solution, but I do that laying on my side, as I fall asleep.
    Books and news papers would definitely require something that won’t tire the eye.

    All that said, are we adapting/evolving to LCD/OLED screens being in our face all the time, yet?
    Stop telling me how things should be, I'm just some cunt on the internet.
    Get up, move to a table without the internet, and do something about changing it.

    mmm ... all the more point to popularise e-ink, then, I suppose ...

    ...And the sad part is that according to industry sources, OLED has a shorter life expectancy than e-ink. Something like a MTBF ten times shorter. Which is why I advise people that if they're buying any sort of display that's expected to last more than 2-3 years, don't buy OLED.
