- Hi all,
So I was on the train home yesterday reading my Kindle 2 and someone sat next to me with the new Kindle 3 in Graphite.
I was able to notice that the letters were sharper. However, the color or the frame aids perceived contrast too.
So I am looking at getting a DecalGirl skin to aid in perceived contrast on my Kindle 2. Originally, before I saw the Kindle 3 screen, I was thinking about Dark Burlwood:
But now I worry that this would be a little distracting to my eyes with the pattern.
I also saw Slate Gray and Slate Black:
The Gray is sort of nice but does not appear to be as dark as the Graphite of the Kindle 3. The Black, I think is somewhat darker and I wonder if Black would be distracting since it is so dark.
Then there's Black Woodgrain, which is a little lighter, but the pattern, again, could be distracting.
If I went black and thought a tad of a pattern would be ok, there's also Dharma Black, which would be fun.....but I don't need fun. I am looking for best contrast.
Any thoughts???11-20-10 02:34 PMLike 0 - Color doesn't matter, it's what's on the inside that counts
You should go to a best buy and try different ones out. Personally, I'd just get a tablet before I got a kindle - on that note, the ipad is gonna be on sale at best buy on black friday.11-21-10 12:25 AMLike 0 -

A tablet (small computer screen) would fatigue my eyes more. I find reading on an eInk screen is much easier on my eyes.

And in fact, based on looking at the buttons, this skin is quite close to the graphite coloring of the K3.....11-22-10 11:26 AMLike 0
