Fine, the new E-Ink technology is presented

I know that by now many of you already know or have heard of a new large screen eReader, the Pocketbook Cad Reader, an ideal electronic reader for reading CAD files. Well, at the same time that the announcement of this new eReader came out, the news of a new technology called Fine from E-Ink company, As you all know by now, it is a company specializing in electronic ink displays and supplying Amazon, Kobo or Sony, among others.

Although at this point it is well confirmed that Fina is not present in the Pocketbook CAD Reader, if it is confirmed that Fine exists and that is presented as a more than interesting reality.

Fina, Carta or Pearl, which one to choose?

Fine is an electronic ink screen technology, thinner than its predecessors and available in large sizes, making it more practical for eReaders or large devices. In turn, Fina is one of the screen technologies that weighs less, for example, on a 13,3 ″ screen, the screen would weigh only 60 grams. The director of E-Ink has not only talked about Fina but has stated that the Fina screens are thinner, less heavy, larger and the least consumed so far. Adjectives that for the moment have not been verified but we know that it will also be one of the screens with the lowest resolution per inch, since the average resolution is 150 ppi while devices like the Kobo Aura HD reach 265 ppi. This is perhaps the element of prejudice that makes many think that this technology will give much to talk about since the manufacturing costs will be lower compared to the large screens that are manufactured now that have high costs and makes the development of screen eReaders impossible. big.

Opinion

But I want to go or I go one step further. Do you remember that documentation about the Kindle Paperwhite 3 was leaked last week? Do you remember that there has been a rumor about the renewal of the Kindle DX for a long time? It is not necessary to unite much and less if I tell you that there is an agreement between Amazon and E-Ink by which E-Ink first provides the new technology to Amazon. Already happened with Paper and it may happen now with Fina, but then E-Ink In what position is it? Currently eReader manufacturers have access to Pearl technology, the pre-letter, if Amazon got Fina too, it could be that the manufacturers would consider E-Ink as an "Amazon department" and thus leave E-Ink aside. Or it may also turn out that when considering part of Amazon, many manufacturers start to hire E-Ink, which casts doubt on the impartial position that E-Ink always wants to give. What I dare say is that the new Kindle DX is closer than ever Do not you think?
