Regal technology (less "ghosting") on Mini/Touch/Glo
Aura uses "regal technology" that allows for faster page turning and eliminates “ghosting”. You can read here http://goodereader.com/blog/electron...egal-and-carta that:

I don't have time to play with it now (maybe later) and I don't have the Aura's waveform data. Anyone wants to try? Do you think it is worth an effort? Is the screen refreshing of Aura much butter? Last edited by MarekGibek; 11-10-2013 at 07:06 AM. |

Here you can see the difference (look at 11 minute):
I like it. Can somebody post here first 16MB of new Aura's internal SD card, please? |

A little problem: Aura doesn't have an internal SD card. This could be secondary, however I've read that a problem of "regal" is that it needs extensive calibration at factory. So I don't think this is feasible...

I'm interested in this, but I know nothing about hardware stuff and I think this technology is furthermore undocumented. Do you know if the old waveform technology is documented somewhere?
EDIT: this is the only articles / documents I've found about the new technology that are a bit more detailed: http://www.hdtvmagazine.com/columns/...oretic-bar.php Quote:

Hi Lucas! Thank you for interesting readings. I don't know the answers as the technology is not publicly documented. I hate this.
I hope that in a few years max we will all have fully responsive color great contrast paper imitating technology in our e-book readers and we will be sentimentally remembering current e-ink devices |

A little correction: since I know nothing about the signals that stops the eink particles, maybe the new technology can improve the refresh speed even if there's no temperature sensor (not thermostat ) for the screen in previous Kobo products. My previous post is only a speculation based on nothing.
