Today Onyx has officially released their first ebook reader that uses E Ink’s new colour Kaleido screen technology. Like the PocketBook Color that was just released, the Poke2 Colour has a 6-inch E Ink screen that can display 4096 colours. Text renders at 300 ppi, but because of the way the colour filter works colour content renders at 100 ppi.
The Poke2 Color has a high early-adopters price of $299. It’s available to purchase from Onyx’s website and from one of Onyx’s resellers on Amazon (oddly Onyx currently doesn’t have it listed on their own Amazon store – wonder why???).
E Ink screens are perfect for long reading stints but all the innovation has been stalling and waiting for the ‘next big thing’. Well colour is that thing especially for comics and magazines. It does seem true to form though that the large incumbents in the market are really slow to innovate.
