I'm wondering what those of you who have seen or used RLCD first hand thought of it compared to the subjective feeling you get with e-ink.

I am particularly interested in the TCL Nxtpaper devices.

When I use e-ink, I get the same feeling as I do when I read a book. In comparison, using an LCD tablet seems to create the same sort of mental strain that comes with using an IPS monitor.

Does RLCD feel closer to regular LCD or to e-ink? Is it apples to oranges?

Thanks
