The new Kobo color e-readers come with a feature called FastGLR. But what is it, and why does it matter for color e-readers?
The Kobo Clara Colour and Kobo Libra Colour both have the newest Kaleido 3 e-ink color screens.
These Kaleido 3 e-ink color screens can be adjusted by the e-reader makers based on what you want to view.
For example, they can have great color quality but a slower refresh rate, or decent colors but a quicker display that might show ghost images.
Kobo worked with E Ink to create FastGLR, a system that provides a quick refresh rate while keeping colors bright and accurate.
This technology helps Kobo stand out from other e-reader brands.
All e-reader brands can have different text render even if they use the same E Ink screen because they have different software, font and systems like FastGLR.
Other brands like Bigme and Onyx also use special tools to enhance their color e-ink screens.
For instance, Onyx has a system called "Super Refresh BSR" that improves color display while keeping the screen refresh smooth.
