The current e-readers that have color E INK are the Pocketbook Color, iReader C6, iFlytek Book C1 and smartphones include the Hisense A5C and Hisense A5 Pro CC.Īlmost all of these e-readers and smartphones use a sunken screen, with a plastic based e-paper layer on top. There are only a handful of color e-readers that have come out this year, we have reviewed almost all of them, except for the Onyx Boox Poke 2 color, which only went on sale for a day, before it was sold out. CBR/CBZ, are popular formats for comics or manga, but they are basically containers for a series of jpg/png files. The B&W and Color filter have a hard time with PDF files, because they are basically big image files, although some PDF render engines can convert the PDF images to pictures AND text. It also works using a web-browser, or other ebooks. This is useful if you are reading a biography ebook, where there are tons of pictures in the center, and also text, giving readers context. The way the technology works, is that you can read both black and white text at 300 PPI and colors at 100 PPI, on the same page. These devices can display 4,096 different color combinations up to 100 PPI.

Most of these devices have 300 PPI to read black and white content, such as ebooks. This year E INK released Kaleido, a new form of color e-paper that was designed for e-readers, e-notes and smartphones.
