REFLECTOR: E-readers as Electronic Flight Bags

[Alex Balic]

I don't think that the electronic ink displays are able to be back-lit- they
use a different technology than LED and the screen is not translucent- maybe
they will develop something in the near future for that, but for now it is a
very clear, no flicker super high contrast display.

Terry, 

 

I haven't seen the approach plates on one, but I recently saw the Kindle as
a text device. The clarity was amazing in the airplane, and the screen was
really imuned to glare. The one my Stepson has does not have a back light
(or he didn't yet know how to use it), I don't know if there are different
models. 

 

If it was night usable, just based on the clarity, light weight, and
glare-resistance.. I would try it. Perhaps you could find a demo somewhere.

Does anybody have any experience with the KindleDX or the Sony PRS505 as a
NACO approach plate display device over using paper charts?

Thanks,

Terry
