So you need a floodlight indoors.
A front-light is really hard to do on a big screen, though not impossible. I was comparing Kobo Sage (also Elipsa), regular glossy glass LCD with budget "backlight" and NxtPaper 11 in daylight, twilight, decent ambient light, and a spotlight shining inappropriately. Later I'll do some photos and explanations, but basically the eink only beats the Nxtpaper 11 for diffuse ambient light bright enough to read a pulp paper pocket/MM paperback. The budget LCD always loses and is unusable if any light source is reflected off the glass. Also once you need the eInk front light, the advantage of eink is lost over a good LCD, but it still beats a cheap LCD by a big margin. It's really complicated.
The only new thing about NxtPaper seems to be a more durable top layer on the glass. The next big step for it would be to use a QLED (quantum dots on LCD with blue backlight) panel for even better sunlight performance, or lower power indoors, though the charge life runs into days of use. The Elipsa at about 227 dpi is only noticeably less sharp than the 300 dpi Sage with fine scanned text on a PDF. With a good screen orientated computer font there is little difference. But the similar colour resolution NxtPaper 11 is as sharp as the 300 dpi Sage in most cases, no doubt due to over 250 levels of grey vs 14 for greyscale anti-aliasing and sub-pixel addressing. Also the pixels on the Elipsa seem fuzzy compared to the LCD pixels, so horizontals and verticals are sharper on the LCD. OTOH, the 150 dpi of the 9.7″ Kindle DXG is poor even jail broken with a nicer font. Scanned text on a PDF is terrible. Currently only the very best color eink are as much as 150 dpi. I don't need to buy a color eink to know it's greatly inferior to mono eink and premium LCD panels (it will beat cheap LCDs assuming you've enough ambient light). The physics is against it. The TCL NxtPaper LCD and my particular (not any model LG) 23″ 4K HDR LG in controlled lighting beat any Apple iPad, Mac laptop or Mac monitor I've seen personally in their show room. I've also looked at €1200 second hand tablet in CEX no better than my last HD Lenovo Yoga Tab 10″ tablet (€230) which doesn't come close to my desktop LG, Samsung or QHD Benq monitors. Mono eink has a niche future for dedicated ereaders. General purpose mono eink products are for fans. Color eink has no future unless Gallery 3 is morphed to a product with 100x faster screen update. The non-eink refresh rates are mostly to suit video. The actual pixel response time is 0.3ms to 3ms. The very best eink is about 55ms at lower quality. Gallery 3 refresh is 1500ms! Any flicker or tearing on modern LCDs is either too cheap back-lights or poor graphics drivers. I've even done flicker free HD video frame rate conversion by pointing a Canon EOS 70D in HD video mode (edit format, where every frame is a key frame) at the 4K HDR LG monitor.

So I used 4 different models of stuff with a Wacom. I prefer the competitors: Apple Pencil (iPad), NTrig/MPP (Surface3 & Kobo, earlier Surface used Wacom EMR), and USI 2.0, all of which I've used. I don't know what system the Samsung S-Pen is and I've not used the Samsung. All use a layer/system behind the display panel. Only resistive and capacitive use layers on top. |

The 13.3 screen replacement alone will cost more than some 14″ tablets.
Android 9. Doesn't need rooted unless you are mad enough to try changing the OS and risk bricking it. Mooink is a tiny niche Chinese company. See https://duckduckgo.com/?q=MooInk+pro&ia=web Edit: Maybe priced at $1099.99, so likely about €1300 inc delivery and VAT/Customs in Europe. It's actually only 825 × 1100 pixels @ 103 ppi. It's misleading to quote the underlying mono panel resolution. LCDs do colour the same way and don't quote the mono resolution. A modest 2000mAH LiPoly cell. Chinese bookstore pre-installed. From https://einkopedia.com/introducing-m...te-technology/ I recommend you don't preorder. The Nxtpaper 14 is maybe 2880 x 1800 (16:10) and if it's 14.25" would be 238.33 ppi colour (mono ips panel is higher). It should be about €600, though not sure if that is pro or regular version. A button on edge switches to mono! Possibly 14G RAM and 256 G Flash. Available 2024. The Nxtpaper 11 (4G RAM, 128 G Flash) has a micro SD slot that works up to 1T byte. I have the Nxtpaper 11 and it's better than the Kobo Elipsa. I'll probably also get a Nxtpaper 14 for larger PDFs, picture books and magazines. Last edited by Quoth; 03-10-2024 at 08:01 AM. |

Someone working in a Tech Company (a senior Engineer with PhD, not the cleaner) saw my TCL Nxtpaper 11.
him: "Is that a new kind of display Tech I somehow missed?" me: "No, just a regular IPS LCD with decent quality backlight and front surface." The display of the Nxtpaper 3.0 isn't anything really innovative. Some CRTs had such faceplates. The "innovation" seems to be having it robust enough for touch and a digitiser pen. It's also got a very even backlight of very natural white. |

But mostly I'm posting here because I'm curious as to why this is put in the Sony forum instead of a more general forum. Is Mooink somehow related to Sony? |

I think it's been written that it's color clone of the Sony DPT 13.3. Which is a disaster of device, the best version being 1650 × 2200 with 206 dpi mono 14 shades, black and White. Certainly the earlier version DPT I looked at had no front light and was barely more than PDF viewer (the reMarkable I had certainly being a clone of the usability, which was poor for transfer and ebooks, really PDF & sketching) I'm looking forward to a TCL NxtPaper 14 (maybe even the pro version, probably cheaper and better than an iPad). |

Samsung owns a significant stake in Wacom and this allows them to have a current-generation Samsung S-Pen which is the same technology as the current generation Wacom EMR, so my Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 and Note 10+ can use the same stylus as my Wacom One (and Amazon Kindle Scribe), and a Staedtler Noris Digital Stylus works on all of them.
