---> using mirasol in dark

We have lots of halogen lighting in our house and that is required to use the device in the dark. We also have lots of big windows which certainly helps during the day. Mirasol is not as good as LCD but more than adequate given a well lit environment. I like it better without front lighting but that might just be because I find that mode easier on my eyes and mostly use it to read and write text. The keyboard takes a bit of getting use to. Much like with the iphone it is too small. I find I need to hit the bottom of keys to get the right letters. That might be due to parallax. The screen is easiest read when held flat under a halogen light or held perpendicular with ones back to a window. The front lighting mechanism seems to wash across the screen so I'd say the issue is getting light into the MEMS pixels rather than getting it out.

I wouldn't say it is awesome but with adaption it is adequate for sure. Cost and reliability could still be an issue though.
