The pixelQi screen does have a yellow-background-color to it, and it seams like you need to hold it right in front of you to get a clear imange, but it might still be in development.

Amazon will have to lower the prize on the kindle or come up with something new when this hits the marked. Amazon has alrady made their books avaviable for PC, and might be prepairing for whats coming.

Pixelqi's 3Qi screen is a great technological step forward. I've been on the lookout for such a technology for years now and am very happy to finally see a screen that refreshes in a few milliseconds without drawing too much power.

So it comes down to “We don't know….yet” if The Pixel Qi screens are as easy to look at as eInk in a typical 30-90 minute reading session.

For all the drawbacks of eInk, where they shine is on replicating text on a page that is easy on the eyes. There are dozens of advantages that the Pixel Qi tech will bring that mostly have to do with flexibility, price, and color. However, the jury is still out on how easy they are to read page after page of text.

In the end I think Pixel Qi might have the best compromise. However, I think people are missing the fact that there MIGHT BE a compromise in there that could cut to the very heart of how good these displays would be in an eReader situation with a user looking for a good eReader experience.

Have you done a side by side comparison? There is someone who has done a compared the two screens, in fact, when someone in the press mentioned that Pixel Qi was doing an e-ink screen, Mary Lou hurried to correct that, didn't want to be thought of even in the same paragraph as e-ink… and listed the reasons why the 3qi screen was better than e-ink. Maybe Brad will be showing us the Notion Ink Pixel Qi tablet with Nvidia Tegra2 processor, AND give us his impression of e-ink vs 3qi?

My question is in low power b/w mode is the image as easy to look at as a 'true' e-ink screen. The real advantage of eInk isn't power in my opinion; it is the eInk screen is so easy on the eyes. You get less little eye strain from an eInk display because it is not flickering at all.

Now I wouldn't expect PixeQs screen to be perfect, but eInk really does have an advanatge in that respect still.

[...] One of the technologies that has intrigued me for a while is that used in the Pixel Qi display. These LCD displays operate in two modes — a normal color mode like most laptop displays and a non-backlit mode that allows viewing in bright light. Once the backlight is turned off the display is viewed in a black-and-white mode like that used in traditional e-Ink readers. I intend to get some hands-on time with the Pixel Qi technology while at CES this week, especially after talking to Brad Linder of Liliputing. [...]

Pixel Qi says these screens do run a bit more than a typical LCD, but
they're hoping to bring the price down as production numbers go up.

put this in a unit with an ARM SOC and color me almost sold. I'm curious what kind of price point we'll see. A Sony Vaio P type form factor would be nice as well.

Now that is a *true* innovation! I hope we see screens like this is a bunch of products and they are available soon.

That is a very good idea, and I'd be more than willing to surf the net in black and white to get decent battery life.

PS – did you mean 600 above? As 1024×600… where it can actually be more? Was wondering if if can be 1366×800 for a 10.1 inch screen?
