3. Background

4. Students and professional travelling in public transit will find E-ink screen more superior and readable in tropical environment. E-ink eReaders are preferred after much consideration. Tablets like the iPad (LCD/OLED) are much harder to read in bright light, and their screens can produce a lot of glare. E-Ink screens, on the other hand, work fantastically in bright light. Asia being in a tropical zone, with 356 sunny days around the years, E-ink with non reflective matt reading surface will be more acceptable for long hours reading under our tropical conditions.
