Wanting good contrast doesn't mean one is "obsessed" with it, nor does it mean other aspects aren't important.

I've some actually 19th books that must be decent paper and were well printed. Excellent contrast and sharpness. I've paperbacks that must be nearly 100% wood pulp, seriously orange and lower contrast than eink. I've some printed books that lack ink density, thus are poor contrast and I had a couple of books I binned as the text was smudged. The PW3 is certainly poorer contrast (with front light off) than any new paper back and most of the old hardback on quality paper. Some eInk fonts can be too bold, or not 150 dpi or 167 dpi screens. But I refuse to believe any eink panel has too high contrast. I'd endorse this: Quote:
Note that subtle changes in font outline, anti-aliasing, resolution and aspects of "sharpness" can affect perception of contrast and vice versa. Last edited by Quoth; 12-28-2023 at 04:29 PM. |

Yes, and that is affected by choice and weight of font face, font size, letter spacing & kerning, word spacing, hyphenation system, line spacing and how the font is rendered (anti-aliasing, resolution, hinting). Actual contrast of a multi-pixel wide vertical or horizontal stroke is indeed just one aspect of reading ease / perception.
