Refresh rates, contrast, glossiness, font choices available - all these are going to be increasingly important to the discerning e-reader shopper. For instance - is the kindle 1 screen as good as the kindle 2 screen? Are they identical? I would like very much to see a dpreview-type review of each of the readers screens.

The 500 is probably the oldest E Ink machine except for the Librie; the PocketBook, among the newest. Thanks. David But, Bruce, that’s the point…to show how some progress has already happened.

Compare it to the -505, or the kindle, or Cool-er, etc., then we'd learn something about the state of the art.
