Letter: Colour the way

Published 3 October 2012

From Richard Simmonds

Sriram Peruvemba of E Ink reacts to the development of glare-free colour e-ink for displays by pointing out, “Most long-form reading is done in black and white” (8 September, p 19). That may be true now but such thinking is short-sighted. I for one would like to be able to read web pages outdoors on a sunny day. The internet is not the same in black and white.
