According to external media reports, appleipad mini has been experiencing market overlaps with professional electronic readers due to the proximity of the screen and the easy one-hand experience. Today, as the next generation of ipad mini will be in the air of rumours using the oled screen, one wonders whether this device will eventually replace electronic readers such as kindle and kobo in the amazon
The introduction of the old panel is expected to significantly increase the attractiveness of ipad mini as a reading device. Oled allows each pixel to be closed independently, thereby achieving real black displays and very high contrasts, making the text clearer in a dark-coloured context, especially in dark-light mode. At the same time, the oled screen has also performed well in terms of color reduction and perspective, and the reading experience of comic books, magazines and illustration books will be significantly improved。
In addition, the old display screen is less energy-consuming when displaying dark content and is expected to extend to some extent the duration of ipad mini's reading batteries. However, none of the ipad models are currently officially certified as waterproof, while electronic readers such as kindle papersmart and kobo libra color in the amazon have waterproof features that allow users to read without fear, such as baths, swimming pools or beaches. There are rumours that apples are exploring a more sealed design for the next generation of ipad mini, which may improve waterproofness through vibrations and reduced openings, thereby narrowing the gap with electronic readers。
However, professional electronic readers still have some significant advantages. Kindle and kobo devices use electronic ink screens to display content by reflecting environmental light rather than by luminating directly to the eye, are closer to the reading experience of paper books and do not suffer from fatigue for long periods of time. Electronic ink screens also perform better with regard to outdoor reading, and their readability increases as environmental light increases. In addition, the e-readers ' batteries continue for several weeks and are functionally focused, helping users to focus on reading。
