The screen of kindle electronic paper book is electronic ink screen (also called E-ink).

2. Without any brightness, it is very convenient to read in the sun, while ordinary LCD and LED screens are difficult to read in the sun;
3. The display effect is very close to paper, and it is like pressing a newspaper under the screen in standby state.
Its disadvantages include:
1. The screen is very thin and easily damaged by external forces, that is, the machine manufacturers with so-called "broken screen" do not guarantee it, and they can only change the screen at their own expense, which is also the same weakness of e-books with E-ink screens.
2. The screen doesn't have any brightness, which is both the advantage and weakness of the E-ink screen, because its display effect is excellent in the sun, and in the environment with poor light or no light at all, reading becomes difficult or impossible, and other light sources are needed. Of course, the latest kindle paperwhite has solved this problem through paperwhite technology. This machine can turn on the light according to the needs of readers when it is dark.
