'Ink And Paper' Technology

Since I've had my Kindle, I've been asked if I don't miss reading a book, holding it in my hands, flipping through actual paper pages. And I've honestly said no.

I did, however, wonder why the Kindle feels so good? I love the contrast of the ink against the creamy white background. And here may be the answer. It's in the Ink!

E Ink is responsible for the Kindle display and their goal was to make the text on the Kindle look more like a real book and I'd say they've come pretty darn close! Here is more on "Ink and Paper Technology" an article from NPR.
